Lesson Procedure.

Teacher:

0. Hello dear friends and guests. Glad to see you. Welcome to our lesson.

The topic we are going to discuss today is “Why do teenagers choose a subculture?”

You’ll have to do different tasks today to answer this question.

You’ll work in pairs and in groups as well as individually.

You’ll work with texts, tables and schemes.

You’ll share your ideas and do some written tasks.

But in order to answer the main question of today’s lesson we should know such notions as “CULTURE” and “SUBCULTURE”.

For this purpose I want you to take Hand-out #1 and in pairs complete the Web Chart of the notion “CULTURE”.

Учащиеся заполняют схему.

Teacher: - Now, let’s check what you’ve written for “the way of life”.

Учащиеся зачитывают то, что записали в Web Chart.

Teacher: - Now, using this scheme try to give the definition of “CULTURE”.

Учащиеся дают свое толкование понятия “CULTURE”.

Teacher: - Now, look at the blackboard (на доске прикреплено определение “CULTURE).

I’ll read you the definition of the word “CULTURE” given by Robert Kohls:

“Culture is an integrated system of learned behaviour pattens that are characteristic of

the members of any given society.

Culture refers to the total way of life for a particular group of people. It includes what a group of people thinks, does and makes-its customs, language, material artifacts and shared systems of attitudes and feelings.”

-Well, this is the definition of the word “Culture”.

-Now, tell me please how you understand the word “Subculture”.

Учащиеся дают свое толкование понятия “Subculture”.

Teacher: - Now, look at the definition given in Macmillan Dictionary:

“Subculture is a group of ypung people whose beliefs and ways of behaviour make them different from the rest of society.”

-Well, what subcultures do you know?

Учащиеся перечисляют известные им субкультуры.

Teacher: - You know that young people have a particular relationship with the world. There are many cultural groupings or subcultures which have interests different from those of the common culture. A particular subculture is a way for young people to express their individuality.

So, my question is: “What are the main features of any subculture?” (вопрос записан на доске вместе с Word Map. Учащиеся должны заполнить карту: Image, values, music,etc.)

-Now, let’s check how well you know the feachers of the well-known subcultures. I want you to work with Hand-out#2 (Individual Work) and match the subcultures with their most distinguishing features.

Учащиеся соотносят субкультуры с характеристикой.

Тeacher: - Now let’s check.

-Well, it’s time to speak about different subcultures giving their specific characteristics. For this purpose take, please, Hand-out#3 (GroupWork).

You should fill in the table with the appropriate information on any 2 subcultures and then speak about these groupings.

Учащиеся заполняют в группах таблицу, а затем дают краткую характеристику группировок.

Teacher: -Well, you’ve described the most popular and well-known subcultures. Now, please, try to answer the main question of the lesson:

“Why do teenagers choose a subculture?”

-Take, please, Hand-out #4 and make up a Word Map.

Учащиеся заполняют Word Map и делятся своими мнениями (возможные варианты ответов учащихся :

- They choose a subculture because they want:

• to change the world to the best

• to show off

• to rebel against the older generation

• to have their own values and beliefs

• to be in a collective

• to differ from others

• to differ from social norms

• to oppose to the society/regime

• to express their individuality

• to show protest against school

• to protest against parents

• to make other people know who they are, etc.

Teacher:-OK, and what do you think about the attitude of the grown-ups towards the members of different subcultures?

Учащиеся высказывают свое мнение: (Possible answers: The grown-ups sometimes believe that members of subcultures are dangerous, awful. They all are criminals and they threaten people’s life.)

Teacher: - Well, young people are often considered violent. Young gangs try to control streets. People are afraid of going out at night. They think young people bring violence.

-What do you associate with the word “Violence”?

-I want you to work in pairs with Hand-out #5.

Учащиеся заполняют схему “VIOLENCE” и делятся своим мнением: (Possible answers: killers, crime, gangs, vandalism, murder, crews, rebellion, criminals, etc.)

Teacher: - Now, I want you to read 3 different opinions about groups and violence (Hand-out#6).

-Your task is to read the texts quickly and say whom these opinions belong to:

a teenager, a middle-aged person or an elderly person.

- Then tell us, please, which arguments you approve or disapprove of. You may use the language support given in the card.

Учащиеся быстро знакомятся с содержанием текстов и высказываются по прочитанному.

Teacher: - Well, you’ve done a lot of work today, dealing with young groupings.

1. My last question is: “What do you do to express yourself and to change the world to

      the best?”

Учащиеся приводят свои примеры.
