This lesson plan can be used both as an introduction lesson about adverts and as a summarizing lesson.

At this lesson students analyze and compare knowledge which they have got about  ads in Britain and in Russia. They  broaden their knowledge and develop creative and critical thinking. The main aim of studying English at school is developing and improving communicative skills.  At this lesson  students are persuaded  to use such method as “word clouds”, cinquains and fishbone to achieve the goal of speaking skills faster. They are effective ways  of teaching English and the teacher has got  more opportunity to motivate students to learn it.

You can find such steps of  training as videoads, newspapers, texts for reading and listening which help students to develop listening skills, to improve students’ vocabulary about this topic, to practice new vocabulary in speaking, to drill writing own ads in in form of cinquains, developing their creative  potential . At the lesson motivated video and the text are used to get the main aim.

You can find active training methods to teach English such as work in pairs, in a group, games – the ways of teaching which help to drill creative potential of students.

I  consider that this lesson plan can be coordinated according to students’ skills and you can take this lesson plan with different groups and different skills of students.

                                          Introduction.

        What could I do as a teacher in order to teach my students to speak English fluently, express their opinion in English? Since I taught English to different ages (both for children and for adults) I realized clearly that it’s very necessary to have  practice for studying any foreign language. It’s the main condition of developing and improving speaking skills. But it’s not always possible to do. It means that my aim as an English teacher, firstly, to motivate students to study English and, secondly, at my lessons to use such methods and approaches of teaching which help to realize the aims of the lesson – drills of speaking skills  at the lesson. At every lesson I use active methods of teaching such as games, group and pair work, work with video and audio material, especially listening to different texts  and watching films for developing listening skills. Nowadays we have a great opportunity to use the Net.

 Making up ads based on real material around them help my students to understand them better and it stimulates their imagination, develops their creativity and helps students to create new ideas.

Students develop English skills, creative and critical thinking while they practice. During such lessons they work over the creation of events and scenes, objects  and dialogues;  make up exciting actions and amazing ads with the definite beginning and ending of them in the strict frames of time. The studying can be coordinated according to the level of students. The exchange of students’ opinions, ways and experience of teaching are various. They help to stimulate cooperative type of work.

 “New-Opportunity Intermediate” helps my students:

- To speak fluently and confidently about any topic.

- To create and introduce  ads.

- To develop speaking skills.

- To understand the content of ads.

- To unite classical and digital teaching.

Using cinquains at my lessons helps students to develop their literature ability, imagination, creative thinking.

These tasks give an opportunity to each student to adapt all familiar lexics according to their level of English.

Warm Up. Introduction.

The teacher says that these words are from the quotation of Jean Kilbourne about  adverts. Students are divided into groups of three-four and they are given the task:

think about this quotation and make up a sensible sentence or sentences. If it’s difficult for them, the teacher can give them a clue – the first word of this statement is “Advertising”.

Check students’ variants. Then show them correct quotation:

Students go to the blackboard and write their variants. Ask some of them (3 students). Whose statement is nearer to the original the teacher gives them a stick. At the end of the lesson we summerise the sticks. (Possible a group prize)
