Ход урока

1. Организационный момент, приветствие.

Teacher(T): Morning, students. Glad to see you. Today we go on talking about holidays. I’m sure you know a lot about British and American holidays, don’t you.

And today we’ll also know about one of the most favourite Russian holidays. And for the lesson we’ll watch a film, play a game and change opinions about holidays.

2. Речевая зарядка.

T.: - Students! Do you like holidays?

- What words are associated with the word HOLIDAYS? (заполнение WORD WEB).

3. Основной этап урока.

T.: – Well, you know many words. Now we’ll check how well you know holidays. Let’s guess the names of holidays. Look at the symbols. You should try to prove your suggestions briefly. And don’t forget about everyday phrases. I’ll give you an example.

E.g. I think it is birthday because every family has a cake for a Birthday. etc.

HOLYDAYS:

New Year – because the fur tree is the symbol of the New Year.

St. Valentine’s Day – because it is the day of love and a heart with an arrow is a symbol of this holiday.

Halloween – Jack-o-lantern is the symbol of this holiday.

Thanksgiving Day – because roust turkey is the traditional American food on this day.

Christmas – Santa Clause is the symbol of this holiday.

Easter – People dye eggs on Easter.

Birthday – people always buy a cake on each birthday.

Do you know about this emblem? This is a shamrock. It is the symbol of Ireland. 17 March is the national holiday in Ireland – St. Patrick’s Day. On that day people wear a shamrock. A shamrock is a plant with three leaves.

T.: Now I’d love to suggest you to watch a fragment from a very famous Russian film. But there is no action (what is it?) on the screen, you’ll only hear. Please, try to recognize the title of this film and of course the holiday. ( Учащиеся смотрят фрагмент из фильма «Сибирский цирюльник» с закрытым экраном )

После просмотра.

T.: – Have you recognized the film? (Yes, it is “The Barber of Siberia”)

- Have you recognized the holiday?( Yes, it is Shrovetide (repeat))

- Now you’ll watch this fragment once again. Be very attentive! After watching you should answer the question:

What are people’s favourite activities on Shrovetide? (повторный просмотр фрагмента). После просмотра фрагмента, учащиеся отвечают на вопрос, заполняя Word Web.

T.: And what about the symbol of this holiday.

PP: I think the symbol of this holiday is blini (pancakes).

Why do you think so? (Blini are oval as the sun. They are the symbol of coming spring).

Pretend you are journalists and you task is to find out information about Shrovetide. You have cards for recording your answers. You have only one minute. We also have an expert group – 3 students. Their task is to summarize students’ work(учащиеся за одну минуту опрашивают друг друга, фиксируя ответы в бланках, затем сдают экспертной группе, которая подсчитывают результаты и сообщает их, дополняя предложения)

  • e.g. 5 students in our group celebrate Shrovetide in their families
  • 3 students don’t
  • All students have celebrated Shrovetide at our school.
  • … students haven’t

T.:- Shrovetide lasts the whole week. Each day has its own name. Unfortunately we don’t have English equivalents of these days because Russian Language is very rich. So I name them in Russian.

Monday is called встреча, Tuesday is called заигрыши, and Wednesday is called лакомка, Thursday is called разгул, перелом, Friday is called тещины вечерки, Saturday is called золовкины посиделки, Sunday is called прощенный день.
