Teacher: Hello, boys and girls! I’m very glad to see you again.

               Do you like reading books?

               What kind of books do you prefer?

               Do you like watching plays at the theatre?

               How often do you go to the theatre?

               Have you ever seen any of W. Shakespeare’s plays?

Now can you guess the theme of our lesson today?

 (Слайд №1: Название темы, портрет В. Шекспира, иллюстрации к пьесе «Гамлет»)

Objectives:      Today at the lesson you will:

• enrich your knowledge about W. Shakespeare’s literary activity;
• revise the vocabulary on the topic “Character and Personality”;
• learn to describe the main characters of the play;
• do the Survey.

And by the end of the lesson you will be able to demonstrate your creative thinking in the process of discussion about parents-children relations.

3. Brainstorming

Teacher: For the first activity I’d like you to suggest the words that are connected with the word “personality”.

Key words: aggressive, honest, generous, brave, calm, hard-working, arrogant, ambitious, cruel, decisive, dishonest, evil, intelligent, kind, mean, proud, wise.

4. Survey

Teacher: Now let’s check up what you know about W. Shakespeare

(Слайд № 2  с таблицей на интерактивной доске, учащиеся записывают  вопросы, обрабатывают и комментируют ответы одноклассников).

e.g. Pupil: I interviewed 12 pupils in my group about when W. Shakespeare was born. Here are the results: 75% of pupils know when W. Shakespeare was born and 25% of pupils don’t know the date of his birth. My advice to them is to read more about W. Shakespeare.

5. Work on the computers

Teacher: You can enrich your knowledge about W. Shakespeare doing exercise on the computers.

(Учащимся предлагается  короткий текст для чтения с вопросами. Правильность ответов они могут проверить самостоятельно, это предусмотрено обучающей программой.  Используется CD-диск к факультативному курсу “English-Speaking Countries”.
