Lesson Procedure

1. 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 talk a lot about different subcultures
   – 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”.
   

-  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 behavior patterns 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.”

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

- Now, look at the definition of the word “Subculture”given in Macmillan Dictionary:
“Subculture is a group of young people whose beliefs and ways of behavior make them different from the rest of the society.”

1. So, my questions are: “What are the main features of any subculture? In what way can teenagers distinguish from others?”

Учащиеся перечисляют различные способы выделиться - заполняют Word Map  и делятся своими мнениями (возможные варианты ответов учащихся :

– They choose a subculture because they want: 

1. to change the world to the best
2. to show off
3. to rebel against the older generation
4. to have their own values and beliefs
5. to be in a collective
6. to differ from others
7. to differ from social norms
8. to oppose to the society/regime
9. to express their individuality
10. to show protest against school
11. to protest against parents
12. to make other people know who they are, etc.

– Well, what subcultures do you know?

Учащиеся перечисляют известные им субкультуры.

1. You have already got acquainted with different youth movements in your home text. Let’s describe them

Учащиеся описывают субкультуры.

– Now, let’s check how well you know the features 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.

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.)

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