I. DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
The theme of today's conclusive lesson is «Discovery of America. Christopher Columbus». We shall remember and speak about all interesting facts which you have studied and I hope that you will know some new facts about Christopher Columbus.
The main points of our lesson are:
1. DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
2. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.
3. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS’S VOYAGES.
Every year the 12th of October Americans celebrate Columbus Day. And today at our
lesson we shall speak about this famous sailor. We shall read the texts answer the
questions and work with the map, and by the end of our lesson you will have known more
about the great discoverer.
Let us begin our conversation. Now look here: you see the date on the blackboard. Do you
know what does this date mean? Why does it play a very important role in an American
history?
S1. In 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered America.
T. I hope you remember the poem about him. Who will tell us this poem?
S2.
Let's remember Columbus
In fourteen hundred and ninety - two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue ...
Let's sing together this old song
About the voyage that took him long,
About the sailors, those strong brave men
Let's sing and remember them all again.
T. Very well, thank you. Sit down. Now look at the blackboard, you can see the map. I want you to go to the map and show me
1. Where is Italy (India, South America, Spain, Asia, North America, San Salvador) situated?
S3: Italy is situated in the south- west. Etc.
Now I want you to remind the text “The discovery of America”. Open your books on
page 312.
But before reading let’s practice in reading proper names. (Exercise 11, page 312)
11. Practise in reading proper names.
America, Central America, North America, South America, Christopher Columbus, the
United States of America, the USA, the States.
(Students read the text in a loud voice, by chain)
12. Read the text and say what Christopher discovered in 1492 – a country or a continent. (Before reading the text be sure you can read the words of Exercise 6 properly).
THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
In our days everybody knows what the word “America” means. First of
all it is the name of the country – the United States of America – or just America.
And then America is the name of the two continents – North America and South America.
These two continents, North and South America, form the part of the world called America.
Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492.
“In fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue…”
This is a song that many children learn about Christopher Columbus and his journey to
America.
We don’t know much about the man. He was born in Italy but lived in Spain for a long
time. He was a seaman and made many sea voyages. In 1492 the King and the Queen of Spain
gave him money to go to India. He decided to sail west as he was sure that our planet was
round. And after sailing 4000 miles (6400 kilometers), he reached some land. Columbus
thought that it must be India but it was not. It was America – Central America in fact.
People began to speak about the land as “the New World”.
Now look at the exercise 13 and say what is true, false or you don’t know, according to the text.
13. True, false or don’t know?
