Ход занятия

Учитель: Сегодня в мастер-классе вы познакомитесь с методом образной подачи информации на основе идиом школьникам. На этот раз рассмотрим некоторые «цветные идиомы» и пояснения к ним. Эти фразеологизмы обогатят и разукрасят речь учащихся. Благодаря простым примерам они смогут быстро их усвоить и с легкостью увеличить свой словарный запас. Но для этого, уважаемые коллеги, попрошу вас выступить в роли учеников. Спасибо.

Слайд 1.Colors make a difference in our life…

Учитель: Our lives are filled with colors from the start,

And Red is the love that comes from our hearts.

Blue is the sadness that drips from our eyes,

But Black is the evil that makes us tell lies.

Green is the shade of jealousy and rage,

And Grey is the hair that comes with old age.

Purple is the mood most misunderstood,

But White is the color that makes us feel good.

Life is full of meaningful colors…They can symbolize ways of feelings; paint our world or represent people’s cultural creativity. In all cultures, different colors have different associations. Today the colors and I are getting together to teach you some English idioms, my dear colleagues and students at the same time. Idioms are accepted as part of everyday speech. Native speakers use them frequently in their everyday life. I bet you’ve never been taught by the colors before!

Слайд 2. Color Idioms

Учитель:Let’s take the color red. It’s my favorite one. Red can be positive but also negative. It can represent Strength, Power, Energy, Love, Fire, but it can also emanate Hate, Pain, Anger, Danger, Attention, and Aggressiveness. Oh, sorry, I’ve nearly forgotten. We, the teachers of English are used to begin our lessons in such a way. Could you tell me, please, what day it is today?

Участник:The 15th of January.

Учитель:Well done! Who can add anything else?

Участник:I’ve heard today is the birthday of Wikipedia.

Учитель:Great! Be active, guys!

Участник:The contest ‘Teacher of the year’ is being held today.

Учитель: Fantastic. It’s a remarkable day. Let the best teacher win!

Участник:Today is Vera Pavlovna’s jubilee.

Слайд 3. A RED LETTER DAY

Учитель:Oh yes! It’s a day of great importance! It’s A RED LETTER DAY! In English, if you speak about a day, when something important occurs, you may call it A RED LETTER DAY.

Слайд 4. TO PAINT THE TOWN RED

And, after this activity, I hope we’ll celebrate this event with my colleagues at the cafe. We’ll PAINT THE TOWN RED. In English, if you go out to celebrate something, you can say “I’LL PAINT THE TOWN RED’. Now back to our lesson. Well, guys, do you like your job?

Участник:Oh, sure.

Слайд 5. RED TAPE

Учитель:So, do I. I like English. I love my school and my students. Only RED TAPE makes me SEE RED, LIKE A RED RAG TO A BULL (красная лента в руках). Does anybody guess what RED TAPE means?

Ответы участников.

Слайд 6. SEE RED, LIKE A RED RAG TO A BULL

Учитель: It’s bureaucratic paperwork. In English, if something makes somebody angry, we say it’s LIKE A RED RAG TO A BULL or it makes somebody SEE RED.

Go ahead. Let’s take the color blue. It is the coolest color - the color of the sky, ocean, sleep, twilight. Blue is the calming color. In the US and UK it is very common for uniforms to be blue worn by sailors, police and workers. By the way, do you like to wear a school uniform?

Участник:Yes, I do. /No, I don't.

Учитель:Do you like to do homework?

Участник:No, I don’t.

Слайд 7. ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

Учитель:Neither do my students. I say to them ‘Do your homework. Do your homework.’ In fact, they do it ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. In English, if things happen extremely rarely, we can say they happen ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. ‘Do your homework.’ I say it until I’m BLUE IN THE FACE.

Слайд 8. TO BE BLUE IN THE FACE

In English, if we say something until we are blue in the face; we waste time and effort because we won’t get any results.

Слайд 9. TO FEEL BLUE

So, I’m FEELING BLUE. It means I’m feeling unhappy.

Участник:I did my home assignment.

Слайд 10. A BOLT FROM THE BLUE

Учитель:It’s completely unexpected. In fact, it’s come as A BOLT FROM THE BLUE! (звуки грома) In English if something comes as a complete surprise we can say it’s A BOLT FROM THE BLUE. (звуки грома, дождя) Oh no, clouds. Looks like rain. For most of the people it is boring weather. Do you like rain?

Участник: Yes, I do. /No, I don’t. I love sunny days.

Учитель:For me there is no bad weather. I love gardening on sunny days. At the same time rainy days give me the chance of having rest, dreaming, arranging a sleep-over, watching a movie and what not!

Слайд 11. EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING

EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING. In English it means that there is a positive side to every unpleasant situation.

You are really good students and colleagues. I hope you won’t judge me very strictly. You’re wonderful. And your English is PERFECT. No, no, it is MAGNIFICENT. In English, we call someone who speaks in such a pleasant way and it can make other people do things for him a silver-tongued.

Слайд 12.TO BE SILVER-TONGUED

Yes, I am SILVER-TONGUED. Yeah, my students are not keen on doing homework. But at the same time they are so kind and helpful, obedient and active, intelligent and sporty.

Слайд 13.TO BE AS GOOD AS GOLD/TO HAVE A HEART OF GOLD

In short, they are AS GOOD AS GOLD. THEY’VE GOT A HEART OF GOLD. In English, if people are very well-behaved, kind and helpful we say they’re AS GOOD AS GOLD AND THEY’VE GOT A HEART OF GOLD.

СЛАЙД 14. A SILVER SURFER

Besides, they are so advanced and real wiz at computer staff, not that me, A SILVER SURFER.  In English A SILVER SURFER is an elderly person who learns to use the Internet right.

       Here are some idioms in which colors are mentioned. Now try to use them in the sentences according to the pictures. (раздаются картинки)

Examples:

Her boyfriend didn’t call her yesterday. She feels blue.

The teacher talked to him till he was blue in the face but the boy didn’t change his mind.

My granddad was taking a bath when the idea was a bolt from the blue.

I didn’t get the required papers in time as there was so much red tape.

A silver-tongued salesman persuaded my father to buy a new computer although the one he had was fine.

To celebrate their victory, the students decided to paint the town red.

My son always gets bad marks on Art. He doesn’t like drawing- it's like a red rag to a bull.

It's a red letter day tomorrow in the company. It's our tenth birthday!

We see each other very seldom. I can say once in a blue moon.

My wife is a very quarrelsome woman. It makes me see red.

I have a difficult problem. But I know every cloud has a silver lining.

Our nurse is as good as gold. She is very kind and helpful. She has got a heart of gold.

At least our grandparents are ready to join the silver surfers.

       Wow! Well done, guys! I see you’ve acquired the information. Thank you for your attention. You are intelligent students and wonderful colleagues!
