Ход урока
I. Организационный момент.
Slide 1 – <Рисунок 01>
Teacher(T) – Good morning! I’m glad to see you.
II. Целеполагание.
T- Today we are going to speak about the sports event that people all over the world followed with the greatest attention and excitement not so long ago. Well, try to guess what it is.
Student(S) – The Olympic Games in Vancouver.
Slide 2 – The Olympics <Рисунок 02>
T – You are right but try to predict what in particular we might speak about?
Possible guesses – Ancient Olympics, kinds of sport, recent sports events.
III. Аудирование с извлечением конкретной информации.
Slide 3 – Ancient Olympics <Рисунок 03>
T – It all started in Ancient Greece. Let’s name some facts (at least, 3) about Ancient Olympics. Remember your history lessons and a story from our English course book that we read and discussed last year. (УМК для 7 класса школ с углубленным изучением английского языка авторов Афанасьевой О.В. и Михеевой И.В. Unit 8 “Sport in Our Life” ex.18 Reading for Information “History of the Olympic Games”)
Possible answers
- where – in Olympia
- what happened
- a peace period
- women not allowed
T- Very good, you know so many interesting facts about it. Now we are going to listen to a short story about one of the ancient champions. It is full of different numbers. Take these cards and while listening fill in the missing numbers into the gaps. You will listen to the story only once, try to be attentive.
(After the listening the students exchange the cards with their neighbours and check the answers from the screen)
Slide 4 – The Olympics <Рисунок 04>
Athletes of the Ancient Olympic Games (Chionis of Sparta)
Chionis of Sparta was an athlete of ancient Greece who was most notable for his jumping records in the ancient Olympics. Records suggest that in the (1)_________ BC Olympics Chionis jumped a then record of 7 meters and 5 centimetres. If accurate, such a record would have won Chionis the inaugural Olympic title of the modern Olympic Games in (2)___________ and placed him among the top eight at a further ten Olympics, up to and including the 1952 Games of Helsinki.
As well as his amazing achievements in long jump, Chionis was also noted as a triple jumper capable of reaching up to (3)_______________metres (52 feet). Although the rules of such jumps are unclear, such a distance under modern rules would have won Chionis the modern Olympic title right up to the (4)__________ games in Helsinki.
Chionis was also credited with winning three consecutive titles in the diaulos and stade between 664, (5)__________, and 656 B.C.. The diaulos was an event that involved a race of two laps around the track, or about (6)_____________ metres (420 yards). The stade was the signature contest of the 476 BC Olympics that involved a sprinting race that was run the length of a straight track, perhaps similar to the modern 100m sprint.
Chionis' record was not matched until the (7)_____________ BC Olympics where a man called Astylos (representing Syracuse, Sicily) achieved the same feat, but also demonstrated his versatility by winning the hoplites, which was a race completed in an armoured suit. Defending the honour of Chionis, the Spartans amended the inscription on his memorial stele in Olympia, pointing out that there was no hoplites event in his time.
(Keys- 1) 656; 2) 1896; 3) 15.5; 4) 1952; 5) 660; 6) 384; 7) 480)
IV. Викторина по страноведению. (Country Study Quiz)
T – Now we are going to speak about modern Olympic Games. Do you know who decided to organize them again?
S – It was Pierre de Coubertin.
Slide 5 – <Рисунок 05>
T- That’s right, he first started summer games and then winter games. This time the Olympics were held in Vancouver in Canada.
(Slide 6 – Vancouver, Canada <Рисунок 06>).
Now I’d like to see if you know anything about this country. Look at the screen (the teacher calls a student to read out the questions) and choose the correct answer.
Slide 7 – Slide 16 – <Рисунок 07> – <Рисунок 16>
T- Who gave more correct answers? Who was the best? I agree that … is the best.
V. Развитие лексического навыка, релаксация
T – I see that you know a lot about Canada and I am sure that you also know plenty of different names of sports. Stand up and name some, as soon as you have given yours, you may sit down.
Ss stand up and name different kinds of sport.
Option
((T – The Olympic Games were held in winter. Let’s name some winter sports.
Ss go to the blackboard and write some (about 5) on the blackboard.))
T – Now we are going to listen to three extracts of music, close your eyes, let them rest and choose the sport that you associate with each of them.
(Teacher chooses three music pieces each with a different tempo: calm and relaxing; lively and quick; etc)
Ss express their ideas as a whole class and give their reasons.
T- I see that you know the names of sports very well but do you know what they are like?
In pairs match the pictures on your handouts with the names of sports. (Option -Compare with your neighbours).
Slide 17 – Winter sports – <Рисунок 17>
Ss read out their answers and check with the screen.
Slide 18 – <Рисунок 18>
VI. Чтение с полным пониманием прочитанного. Развитие критического мышления (Personality Quiz)
Slide 19 – Skiing or Snowboarding – <Рисунок 19>
T- We mentioned two winter sports – skiing and snowboarding. If you answer these questions (<Рисунок 20>), you will find out which of the two is the best for you. As soon as you are through with the task, count your score (<Рисунок 21>).
While Students are counting their score, the Teacher puts two pictures showing skiing and snowboarding on the magnetic board.
Slide 20 – Analysis – <Рисунок 22>
T – As soon as you have counted the score and read the analysis, come out, take a magnet and put it next to the picture of the sport which is the most suitable for you.
(Option – Teacher calls out a student who reads aloud the analysis and asks classmates to raise their hands choosing a point for themselves, then puts the score on the blackboard)
T- Now let’s make some conclusions (better ask Students) – the majority in your class is fond of … So next winter you know what sport to go in for together with your classmates.
VII. Чтение с общим пониманием прочитанного (Skimming)
T- You are going to read a short story about the Olympics. Look through it very quickly and tell me the main idea. (Students do it individually).
The Olympics by John Russell
"Winning the Olympics is not about the medal. It is about how you feel, deep inside, at the moment of victory…it is about the unbelievable attraction of history."
Matthew Pinsent: – Olympic Gold Medal Winner (Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000)
The Olympics for most athletes is the ultimate goal. It is the peak of a sporting career, where you test your skills and strength against the ‘best of the best.’ For a few days every four years a select group of athletes from across the world have the chance to make their mark in history – to be remembered as modern sporting ‘Gods.’
Is the Olympic ideal working?
The Olympics is a great opportunity for nations to come together in peace, but there have been difficult periods. The USA did not participate in the 1980 Moscow games due to political differences and the USSR returned the favour in 1984 by not going to Los Angeles. In Munich in 1972, 11 athletes were killed by terrorists, and a bomb attack killed two people in Atlanta in 1996.
The ideal of fair competition is also under attack, with some athletes cheating by using drugs to improve their performance. Runner, Ben Johnson, lost his Olympic Gold medal in 1988 because he used steroids.
The best of the best?
Despite some problems, the Olympics is usually an example of great competition at the highest possible level. The athletes who win here can truly be considered world-class.
A message from history?
Many people say that sponsorship and money has no place in the Olympics, and that people today are competing for their sponsor and not their team. It is interesting to find that in the ancient Olympics, the ideals were not so important for athletes – it was the valuable prizes that people were really competing for!
Do you believe that the Olympic Ideal is working? If so, why? If not, why not?
VIII. Групповая работа над мини-проектом
T – Now you see that the Olympics are not welcome by some people in the world. Let’s make two groups – one will be for the Olympics, the other against.
Slide 21 – For and Against – <Рисунок 23>
(T distributes the cards with positive (<Рисунок 24>) and negative smiling faces (<Рисунок 25>) thus dividing Ss into two groups, and then gives strips of paper with all sorts of ideas (Ss have to choose three arguments for and three against the Olympics; they also have extra paper for their own ideas. As soon as they are ready, one (or better several) representatives of each group in turn say what they have chosen and then, using magnets (or gluing their strips of paper to two small posters with positive and negative smiling faces at the top) put the result on the blackboard.
Slide 22 – The Olympics? For and Against – <Рисунок 26>
Suggested ideas:
- The Olympic Games provide a great opportunity to learn more about the culture of the host country.
- The Olympic Games help to promote peace, understanding and tolerance in the world.
- The patriotic feelings of people strengthen while they support their teams and feel proud of their achievements.
- The Olympics for most athletes is the peak of a sporting career, where they test skills and strength against the ‘best of the best’.
- The Olympic Games are not environmentally friendly as vast areas are used for building different sports facilities, thus abusing the environment.
- Some athletes forget about fair play and cheat using drugs to improve their performance.
- The most important thing for modern athletes is money and prizes but not the true spirit of the Olympics.
- The Olympics are not about the human spirit and have little to do with athletic excellence. They are a multi-billion dollar industry backed by real estate, construction, hotel, tourism and media corporations,
T – Very soon Russia will also host the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014; probably these games will help find the right balance between advantages and disadvantages of the Olympics.
