ХОД УРОКА

I. Greeting. Warm-up

1. Saying compliments

T: Hello, everybody. The subject of our lesson today is “A Job for Life”. We are going to have a lesson-discussion, a business game where various jobs will be discussed. You know that people must be tolerant to each other, so let’s start with saying compliments.

(Учащиеся передают друг другу небольшой глобус и говорят комплименты)

e.g. P1:  You look wonderful today!
P2:  Thanks, you are very kind. Jane, your smile is so charming!
P3:  Thanks a lot. I’m pleased to hear that. You have very beautiful eyes!
P4:  You look pretty!
P5:  I like your hairstyle!
P6 : Your dress is wonderful and very fashionable!
P7:  You have a very kind face!

2. “Hot chair” game

T: What should we take into consideration while choosing a profession? 
Is character important? I think, yes. 
We’ll play a psychological game which is called “a hot chair”. The game is simple. One of you will sit down on the chair, the others will speak honestly about his(her) traits of character. Then our psychologist (name) will give her comments.

P1. Sits down on the “hot chair”
Pupils speak in turn. E.g. I think you are (communicative and sociable)
In my opinion you are (generous and amiable)
I am sorry to say, but you are (a bit lazy, you should be more hard-working)
You are …, but sometimes you are …etc

(После того, как учащиеся высказались по поводу характера своего одноклассника, ученик, выступающий в роли психолога, дает совет о том, какую профессию следует выбрать учащемуся).

Psychologist: I would advise you to become a … because you are…
If you like a job which involves offering a service to other people you are supposed to choose (you will be probably choose, you are likely to choose) the general service category (practical, nature, scientific, outdoor active, computational, social, artistic).

P1. I think I have an aptitude for working with figures and solving mathematical problems and I am interested in knowing how and why things work. So I think I can work in a scientific or computational field.
Ps: I strongly advise you to become a doctor. 
P2: I'm afraid I can't. I wouldn' t like to work with people.
Ps: Would you like to go to University? 
P3: I'd love to .But I'm not quite sure what course to take. 
Ps: Perhaps you could take up a profession of a driver? 
P4: I like working with machines.  – Of course, very often, but I haven't decided yet. 
Ps: It might be a good idea to try yourself in a profession of a teacher.
P5: I'm afraid that's not my line. I'm thinking of becoming a photographer.

III. Conclusion

Writing a sinkwein poem.

Синквейн – это пятистишие, где первая строка – одно ключевое слово, определяющее содержание синквейна. Вторая строка – два прилагательных, характеризующих данное понятие. Третья строка – три глагола, показывающих действие понятия. Четвертая строка – короткое предложение, в котором автор высказывает свое отношение к проблеме. Пятая строка – одно слово, обычно существительное, через которое человек выражает свои чувства, ассоциации, связанные с данным понятием. Например,

Урок
Интересный, запоминающийся
Вдохновил, заинтересовал, запомнился
Я получила удовольствие
Здорово.

Так как урок был посвящен выбору профессии, я предложила ребятам придумать синквейн о профессиях, например,

Doctor 
Caring, attentive
Examines, treats, cures
Helps people
Satisfaction.

Дети выполняют подобные задания с большим интересом.)

But I think it is more important what kind of person you will become. I wish you to find yourselves in this world, be kind, be honest, be noble everywhere and in everything.
