Ход урока

1. Организационный момент.

Good morning, children! How are you getting on today? I hope you are OK. Let’s begin our lesson. As you know politics is part of our lives. It is everywhere: in newspapers, on the radio and on TV. And today we are going to speak about the British monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. (Доброе утро. Как ваши дела? Надеюсь, у вас все хорошо и мы можем начинать наш урок. Как вы знаете политика – это часть нашей жизни. Она повсюду: в газетах, на радио и на телевидении. Мне хотелось бы поговорить сегодня с вами о Британской монархии и парламентской емократии)

2. Введение в тему урока. Вступление в презентацию.

The idea of democracy plays a great role in politics. The word “democracy” is translated from Greek as “the power of people”. ( Идея демократии играет важную роль в политике. Слово «демократия» переводится с греческого как « власть человека»).

Greek demos - “the people” ( человек)

keratin - “to rule” (управлять)

It is a political system in which the people of a country rule through any form of government they choose to establish.( Это политическая система в которой принимают участие в управлении страной  и формируют правительство основываясь на свои взгляды).

What do you think “democracy” means? ( Как вы понимаете слово « демократия»?)

(Ответы обучающихся)

Well, democracy means:

All people and authorities follow the constitution. ( Все должны придерживаться конституции)

People elect their representatives to rule the country. (Люди выбирают представителей власти)

People do what they want within the framework of the law. (Люди делают что хотят в рамках закона)

People say what they think. ( Люди говорят, что думают)

People elect the head of the state directly. (Люди избирают главу государства)

People can live in any place they choose. ( Люди живут где хотят)

O.K. So, what about the political system of the United Kingdom? Do you know the type of ruling this country?  ( Так, а что вы можете сказать о политической системе Великобритании? Вы знаете виды государственной власти там?)

3. Фонетическая зарядка.

а) I hope you can explain such words as monarchy, an absolute monarchy, a parliamentary monarchy. ( Я надеюсь, вы можете объяснить такие понятия, как монархия, абсолютная монархия и парламентарная монархия)

A Monarchy is a form of government in which a monarch, usually a single person, is the head of state. ( Монархия – это форма государственного правления при которой монарх, обычно один человек, управляет государством)

An absolute monarchy is a monarchical form of government where the king and queen have absolute power over everything.( Абсолютная монархия – это монархическая форма правления при которой король или королева имеют абсолютную власть над всем)

A Parliamentary monarchy - a state headed by a monarch who is not actively involved in policy formation or implementation. ( Парламентская монархия – государство, возглавляемое монархом, который не принимает активного участия в управлении страной)

b) When you listen to a politician who speaks English you can understand some words without translation. Find the Russian equivalents. ( Когда выслушаете политика, говорящего на английском языке, вы можете понять некотрые слова без перевода. Найдите эквиваленты следующих слов)

(Обучающиеся хором повторяют все интернациональные слова).

4. Речевая зарядка.

5. Работа по схеме.

На экране - схема политического устройства Великобритании.

Britain is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarch - Queen Elisabeth II as a head of state. Who rules the country in fact? The monarch or Parliament? ( Британия – это парламентарная демократия с конституционной монархией – Королева Елихавета вторая находится во главе государства. Кто фактически правит страной? Монарх или парламент?)

THE MONARCH

Is the official head of state and an integral part of Parliament in her constitutional role; has mostly representative functions; gives the royal assent to the bills passed by the House of Commons  and the House of Lords; is the head of the Commonwealth of Nations.( Монарх находится официально во главе государства и играет основную конституционную роль в парламенте; имеет большую часть полномочий, дает королевскую санкцию на законопроекты, принятые палатой общин и палатой лордов; является главой Содружества наций)

Who is the official head of state now? ( Кто официально является главой государства?)

Ученик кратко рассказывает о Королеве Великобритании.

Queen Elizabeth II .She was born on 21 April, 1926; was married to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, on 20 November, 1947; ascended the throne on 6 February 1952; and was crowned on 2 June, 1953. In law, the Queen is the head of the executive, legislature, judiciary, the Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces of the Crown and the head of the Established Church of England. In practice, she has little direct power. She is one of the longest-reigning monarchs in British history She is widely respected for the way in which she performs her duties and is generally popular. The Queen and the royal family continue to take part in many traditional ceremonies.

How much power does the Queen have? Read the text (выдается раздаточный материал):

Do you know when limits began to the placed on the powers of the monarch? As far back as 1215 when barons forced King John to recognize in the Magna Carta that they had certain rights. The constitutional monarchy we know today developed in the 18th and 19th centuries, as day-to-day power came to be exercised by Minister in Cabinet.

The Queen, however, has powers that can surprise many. She can choose a Prime Minister, dissolve the Parliament and declare war like an absolute monarch.

But these days the Queen’s influence is mainly informal. She has a right and a duty to express her views on government matters to the Prime Minister at their weekly audience. But these meetings and all communications between the Monarch and her Government remain strictly confidential. Having expressed her views, the Queen follows the advice of her Ministers.

Decide if these statements true or false according to the text.

Limits began to be placed on the powers of the monarch in 1215.

King John was forced to recognize that the barons had certain rights.

The constitutional monarchy we know today developed in the 19th century.

Ученик кратко рассказывает о парламенте Британии.

The British Parliament

The British Parliament is the oldest in the world. It originated in the 12th century. The British Parliament consists of the House of Lords and the House of Commons and the Queen as its head. The House of Commons plays the major role in law-making. It consists of Members of Parliament (called MPs for short). Parliamentary elections are held every 5 years and it is the Prime Minister who decides on the exact day of the election. The minimum voting age is 18. The leader of the opposition is a recognized post in the House of Commons. The parliament and the monarch have different roles in the government and they only meet together on symbolic occasions, such as coronation of a new monarch or the opening of the parliament. The House of Commons is made up of six hundred and fifty elected members, it is presided over by the speaker, a member acceptable to the whole house. The House of Lords has more than 1000 members, although only about 250 take an active part in the work in the house. Members of this Upper House are not elected.
