5. Сообщение информации об истории создания комедии «Венецианский купец», месте действия в комедии – Венеции 16 века при сопровождении музыкального слайд-шоу «Венеция» – виды и музыка 16 века.

So, William Shakespeare wrote a lot of wonderful works. One of them is a comedy of «The merchant of Venice». What do you know about the period when it was created and, perhaps, about its further life?
P1 – Shakespeare wrote The Merchant of Venice in 1596-7. When he was thirty-two years old he had already written some of his most famous plays, including Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's best-loved plays. It has been translated into many languages and is a favourite choice of theatre companies throughout the world. There have also been many film versions of this play, including an Indian version (1941), a French version (1953) and a Maori (New Zealand) version (2002). The most recent English-language film version was made in 2004, starring Al Pacino as Shylock.

As you have already said Shakespeare lived in Stratford-upon-Avon, and then in London but he wrote not only of England, but of Italy, too. How do you imagine Venice of the 16-th century? Musical presentation « Venice of the 16-th century» – views of Venice and music of the 16-th century.
P2 – In Shakespeare's time, Venice was a very wealthy sea port. There were many merchants like Antonio, who made their money by sending ships all over the world. The ships carried goods that were bought and sold in different countries. The sea was a dangerous place, and ships were often wrecked or attacked by pirates. Merchants, and other people, often needed to borrow money from moneylenders like Shylock. Moneylenders had to make a living, so they charged people interest.

Right you are. What else can you say about Venice of the 16-th century?
P3 – The city of Venice was on the north-east coast of Italy. There was no other city like it in the world. It was built on hundreds of small islands which were joined by bridges over the canals. Because of this, the main method of transport was by boat. People could walk along the narrow streets, and on the paths along the canals, but for a longer journey, they had to travel by boat. When Lorenzo and his friends helped Jessica escape from her father's house (p. 13), they probably went by boat, as they had heavy boxes to carry.

6. Краткое описание сюжета комедии

I think we should tell our guests about the plot of the play.
P4 The Merchant of Venice tells a number of stories which are all connected. There is the love story of Bassanio and Portia: Bassanio loves Portia, but he needs to borrow money so that he can travel to Belmont and ask her to marry him. There is the story of the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio: Antonio wants to help Bassanio find the money he needs, but the cost is very high. Then there is the story of two old enemies, Shylock and Antonio: Antonio decides to ask Shylock for help, but Shylock sees his chance to take a terrible revenge.

It’s high time to have a rest and train our attentiveness. From your IT lessons you remember the Roman figures. You may revise their meanings right now.

Roman figures – Latin letters:

Your task is to write down the year of the film foundation and the actors and actresses’ names who played the same roles as you play now. Be attentive, please. You may take notes, if you need it.
But before watching the episode, let’s try to predict the year of this film foundation.
(Все предположительные даты записываются на доску, рядом с именем ученика, который её произнёс).  Don’t forget to use the supposition phrases:
I can be mistaken but I think that…
It seems to me that…
My guess is …
I suppose…
Perhaps, it’s …
Maybe, it’s …
I guess …                                                                                                       The key: MCMLXXX – 1980
So, the winner is … He / she was the closest to the right variant. We present him / her with a symbolized prize. It’s a favorite feather of Shylock. Our congratulations.

Antonio – John Franklyn Robbins
Bassanio – John Nettles
Shylock – Warren Mitchell
Portia – Gemma Jones
Nerissa – Susan Jameson
