Teacher: I remember that each of you has prepared an individual home task. To make it easier for you to tell your stories in class we’ll play a game called “The Magic Wand” (“Волшебная палочка”). Look! This is my magic wand. It can work wonders if we say magic words. They are on the flash-cards. Well, get ready! The game begins.

1) Vika and Denis have prepared some information on the geography of Great Britain. So, we’ll turn them into Geography teachers. Let’s say our magic words: “Abracadabra. One-two-three, let it be!” (Учитель вынимает из мешка профессорские шапочки и накидки.) Now, you are Miss Safronova and Mr. Chernyshov. Please, come to the board and tell the class some facts on the geography of Great Britain. Miss Safronova will begin. (Ladies first!) This is your pointer. (Рассказ по карте о географическом положении Великобритании.) (1 мин.) Thanks a lot. Let’s give the floor to the second Geography teacher – Mr. Chernyshov. He’ll tell us about the parts of Great Britain. (Рассказ по карте о частях Великобритании и их эмблемах.) (1 мин.) Thank you very much, dear teachers. Now we’ll see if your pupils remember everything you’ve told them about the geography of Great Britain and its parts. Look at the screen and answer the questions. (Работа со слайдами по вопросам.) (1 мин.)

Вопросы для обучающего контроля: (ответы приготовлены на слайдах)

1. Name the bodies of water surrounding Great Britain.

2. Name the parts of Great Britain.

Teacher: Well done. Dear teachers, you see that your students are quick and clever. They can answer all the questions.

2) Well, my magic wand is ready to work wonders again. Liza has prepared some information on the Royal family of the United Kingdom. I think my magic wand will turn Liza into the Queen of Great Britain. A good idea, isn’t it? Liza will turn into Elizabeth II. Let’s say our magic words: “Cribs-crabs-crubs. One-two-three, let it be!” (Учитель достает корону и мантию.) You can easily recognize Her Majesty the British Queen Elizabeth II. Your Majesty, may I ask you to be so kind and tell us your story about the Royal family and your life. Thank you in advance. (Рассказ о королевской семье и резиденции.) (1 мин.) Your Majesty, thank you ever so much indeed for your most interesting story. Be seated now. (Учитель почтительно провожает королеву на место.) We’ll see if all the students remember the members of your family. Look at the screen and say who they are. (Слайды с членами семьи и Букингемским дворцом.)

Вопросы для обучающего контроля:

1. When was Elizabeth born? When did she become Queen? (In 1926, in 1953)

7. Does the Queen rule the country? (No, the Queen doesn’t rule, she only reigns.)

8. What political organ really rules in Great Britain? (British Parliament does.)

3) Well done, dear children. Let’s now pass on to the Parliament of Great Britain, the main branch of the political system of the country. Maxim and Sasha have prepared their reports. I think it only natural to turn them into Members of Parliament. Help my magic wand to do it, saying the magic words all together: “Hickety-pickety-dock. One – two – three, let it be!” (Учитель достает парики.) I have the pleasure of introducing the Members of Parliament to you. These are Sir Max Karpoff and Sir Alex Panchuk, peers of the House of Lords. Dear Sirs, we do ask you to tell us about the work of the British Parliament. The scheme on the screen can help you. Mr. Karpoff will start. Attention please. (Рассказ о парламенте с показом слайдов с краткой информацией о Палате Лордов и Палате Общин.) (2 мин.) Thank you, dear sirs. The esteemed peers have told us about the work of the British Parliament, but they have missed some interesting details. We’ll ask them to read out loud some more information given on the slides. You are welcome, Sir Max Karpoff.

Дополнительная информация на слайдах:

(Пэры читают подписи по очереди.) Thank you again, dear sirs. Take your seats, please. Now, let’s make sure that all of you remember what we have just learnt. (Слайды с началом фраз, учащиеся читают их по очереди, заканчивая каждую фразу самостоятельно.)

Good of you, dear children, you’ve coped with the task very well.

4) Now let’s pass on to another subject: London and its sights. Masha and Anna are ready with this topic. Let’s help my magic wand to turn the girls into tourists of London, say,… from Spain. Let’s say the magic words together: “Abracadabra. One-two-three, let it be!” (Учитель достает фотоаппараты, тёмные очки и бейсболки.) Look, they are Spanish tourists from Valencia who have just returned back from London. They are sharing their impressions of London with you. Anna, is London a beautiful city? Have you seen the Houses of Parliament? What other sights of London have you seen? (Первая туристка показывает открытки с видами и рассказывает кратко о некоторых достопримечательностях Лондона.) Maria, what sight of London impressed you most of all? (Туристка рассказывает о cоборе Святого Павла. На экране слайд с собором.) Thank you, dear Spanish friends, for your stories. They sounded very realistic and colourful. Now I suggest listening to a record with some more information on St. Paul’s Cathedral. Listen attentively to the interview with Christina Garcia from Valencia, our tourists’ friend who was in London on the same tour. Listen and do the tasks. Take card № 1 which is on the desk. (см. Приложение) Task 1. Practise the new words before listening to the text. (Учащиеся произносят слова хором за учителем) Task 2. Listen to the text about Christina’s visiting St. Paul’s and write if these statements are True or False. (Oxford Intensive course OK. David Bolton. Teacher’s book Unit 6 Page 36) Steady, ready, go! (Учащиеся слушают запись и выполняют задание.) (1 мин.) And finally, let’s do Task 3. Listen to the same text, fill in the gaps with prepositions if necessary. (Учащиеся выполняют задание) Let’s check your prepositions. I give the number, you give the preposition. (фронтальная работа) Very good. You’ve made no mistakes. I’m so pleased with you. (1 мин.)

5) Dear friends, now it’s time to remember some episodes from the history of London. Does the date 1666 say anything to you? Right. It was the year of the Great Fire of London. Vladik and Sonya want to remind you of this tragic event. Let’s listen to them. But before then, let’s turn them into the king’s baker and his wife. Say the magic words with me. “Abracadabra. One-two-three, let it be!” (Учитель достает из мешка поварской колпак, белую косынку, фартуки.)

Dear Mrs. Baker, tell us how the fire started. Mr. Baker will continue and tell us about London before and after the Great Fire. (2 мин) Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Baker for your impressive stories. By the way, is there any monument in London built in honour of these tragic events? If you don’t know I suggest listening to a record about this monument which is called just “the Monument”. First let’s pronounce the new words from the text. Take card №2. (см. Приложение) Let’s do tasks 4 and 5. (Oxford Intensive course OK. David Bolton. Teacher’s book Unit 6 Page 36) (Одновременно со звучанием записи на экране – слайд монумента.) (4 мин.)

6) Well, talking about the sights, customs and traditions of London, we can’t but mention the old Tower of London. I know that Kolya and Katya have prepared some material about it. Who shall we turn them into with the help of my magic wand? Can you guess? We’ll turn them into black ravens who know everything about the Tower of London as they permanently live there. Help me with the magic words please! “Cribs – crabs – crubs. One – two– three, let it be!” (Учитель достает черные бейсболки и накидки воронов) Well, your name is Baldrick and your name is Hugine [‘hju:dзin]. Dear Baldrick, will you start your story about the history of the Tower of London. (Следует рассказ ученика.) Thanks Baldrick, your story was fascinating! Well, dear Hugine, now the floor is yours, tell us about your life in the Tower. (Следует рассказ второго ученика о жизни воронов.) (2 мин.) Well, thank you, dear friends, we have learnt so much from your most interesting stories. And now it’s time to come back to our real selves. Let’s help the magic wand to turn all of you into the school children again. Say the magic words: “Hickoty-pickoty-dock. One – two – three, let it be! Here you are at last, dear children!” (Дети снимают костюмы и бросают в мешок учителя.)

III. Третья часть урока посвящена поисковому чтению и заполнению информационных таблиц. Здесь применяется стратегия “ Обучение сообща” ООТ с целью изучения и систематизации большего по объему материала. Группа делится на две части, каждая подгруппа работает со своим текстом, текст обсуждается, таблица заполняется совместно, затем по очереди подгруппы рассказывают друг другу, что они узнали из своего текста, причем эта информация заносится в соответствующие таблицы. Таким образом, по окончании работы у каждого ученика должно быть заполнено две таблицы, которые им предстоит использовать для домашней работы. (10 минут)

Teacher: Dear boys and girls, now we are passing on to a very important part of our lesson, that is, reading and analyzing. The group must be divided into two parts, each subgroup will read and discuss their own text, filling in the blanks in the table to the text. You will have three minutes to do your work. Take cards № 3 and № 4. (см. Приложение) Start working in groups. (Учащиеся работают в подгруппах под легкую тихую музыку, затем происходит обмен найденной информацией, во время которого учитель показывает слайды.)

Your time is up. You’ve picked some interesting information about old English traditions which are still alive. Tell each other about them. (Незнакомые слова, подчеркнутые и переведенные в текстах, могут быть выписаны на карточках, а их произношение отрабатывается при наличии времени.) Well done, dear friends. Now you know many facts about the Yeoman Warders and the Yeomen of the Guard. So at home you will compare them, using your tables, and write what common and different features they have.

IV. Заключительная часть урока посвящена подведению итогов. Учитель рисует на доске или показывает на слайдах кластер, с помощью которого схематично и наглядно показываются темы, обсужденные на уроке. (5 минут)

Teacher: Let’s round up. Our time is coming to an end. We have to sum up today’s work. For this purpose we’ll draw a cluster. We have been talking and reading on the topic Great Britain. What aspects of this large topic have we touched upon? Help me, please.

GREAT BRITAIN

Geography	Traditions Yeoman Warders Yeomen of the Guard ravens of the Tower
Parts of Great Britain	History the Great Fire of Lodnon
Political System the Queen Parliament	Sights of London the Monument St. Paul’s Cathedral the Tower of London

Looking at the cluster, we can say that we have really revised and learnt a lot of things connected with the topic “Great Britain”. Besides, we have enjoyed ourselves greatly. We only have to answer one question: which of the 7 proverbs reflects the main idea of our lesson? (На слайде показаны все 7 пословиц, чтобы легче было выбирать.) Right. I quite agree with you. “So many countries, so many customs.” and “Every country is strong according to its traditions.

Thank you for our work. It was very pleasant to work with you. I think all of you have deserved good and excellent marks. See you soon. Good-bye.

Task 6: Read the text and fill spaces in the table with the information from the text.

The Yeoman Warders (йомены смотрители)

The Yeoman Warders were formed by King Henry VIII. In 1509 the King decided to leave twelve of his old and sick Yeomen of the Guard in the Tower of London to protect it. Their main duty was to look after the Tower prisoners, and safeguard (охранять) the British crown jewels (драгоценности). Nowadays there are still twelve Yeomen Warders at work every day. (All in all there are 35 of them). They are still nicknamed “Beefeaters” but their duties have certainly changed. They act as tour guides (туристические гиды) and raven-keepers. They carefully look after the famous black ravens, feed them and cut their wings. There is a legend that the Tower of London will fall if the ravens fly away. The Beefeater’s most famous duty is to take part in the night ceremony of passing the Tower Keys. For everyday duties Yeoman Warders wear a red and dark blue uniform, while on holidays they wear a state dress uniform, the same as the Yeomen of the Guard but without a cross belt (ремень). In these beautiful uniforms the Beefeaters can be called one of the most interesting sights of London.

Card No. 3 (Variant II)

Task 6: Read the text and fill in the spaces in the table with the information from the text.

The Yeomen of the Guard – Traditions are Alive

The Yeomen of the Guard are a body-guard (личная охрана) of the British King or Queen. Queen Elizabeth II has 73 Yeomen of the Guard, all of whom are former (бывшие) officers of the British Army. Yeomen of the Guard are also called “Beefeaters”. Nowadays Beefeaters play a ceremonial (торжественный) role. They accompany (сопровождают) the Queen during the Christmas church services and her regular visits to public places. Their most famous duty is to “ceremonially” search the cellars (обыскивать подвалы) of the Palace of Westminster before the State Opening of Parliament (a tradition that dates back to the Gunpowder plot of 1605 [относится к “пороховому заговору”] when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up [взорвать] the Houses of Parliament).

The Yeomen of the Guard were formed in 1485 by King Henry VII. He gathered a group of soldiers to become his personal body-guard, and they accompanied him (сопровождали его) wherever he went, protecting him from his numerous enemies (многочисленные враги).

The Yeomen of the Guard’s state dress uniforms (парадная форма) are red and gold with a round black hat. They also wear a belt (ремень) across the left shoulder. At the front they have the emblems of England, Scotland and Ireland. Their everyday uniform is red and dark blue.
