Ход урока

1. Начало урока

1. Организационный момент.

Т:  Good morning, dear guests! Hello, my dear pupils! I’m very happy to see you. And welcome to our English lesson.

1. Warming up

• Before we start the lesson I want you to warm up. OK? Ready? The task for you is very easy: you should repeat the actions and the words after me:

It’s time to think

It,s time to speak

It’s time to show

Ready! Steady! Go!

- Now, we will try to do it a bit faster, ok?

- And let’s do it as fast as you can.

- Are you ready for the English lesson? Take your seats.

3. Просмотр видео. Речевая зарядка. Определение темы урока.

T:  - Today we will have an unusual lesson. We’ll have an amazing virtual trip, but you should guess by yourselves where we will go a little bit later. And now I suggest you to watch a short video. Please, watch it attentively and be ready to answer my questions:

1. What is this video about? (It’s about London.)
2. Is it a big city or a small town? (It’s the biggest city of England.)
3. What is the name of the river on which London stands? (the Thames.)
4. Are there any interesting places in London? (Yes, there are a lot of them.)
5. Where does the queen live and work? (The queen lives and work at Buckingham palace.)
6. Is Big Ben a clock or a Tower? (It’s a clock.)

• So, I suppose that it’s not difficult to guess. What is the topic of our lesson? Exactly! London and it’s places of interest. We are going to revise all we know about London, to speak, to do some exercises and to learn more about the capital city and have some fun (may be).

• The famous English poet Samuel Johnson said: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life”. Today, more than 200 years later, Johnson’s words still ring true. There are few places in the world that offer such a variety of sights, entertainments, world famous museums and theaters. So, his words will be the motto of our lesson.

2. Центральная часть урока

1. Актуализация лексических (лингвострановедческих) единиц.

• Have a look at the screen, please. This is a map of Great Britain. How do you think: Why the word London is in bold (in other words: why is it typed by Capslock)?
• Look here please, you can see some words and they are jumbled. Put these words in the correct order. The first word is… (London, etc.) London is the capital of both England and Great Britain. Translate this sentence, please. (Almost everyone in the world knows this phrase and you don’t even have to be the best student in your class to know it.)

• Let’s check what places of interest of London do you know. Your task is complete the geographical names of the sights).
• Now, look here, please. This is the map of London, and you can see some places of interest there.
• Now, I want you to repeat the pronunciation of these words after me all together (as they are rather difficult to pronounce them correctly).

2. Проектная работа. Проверка домашнего задания.

- My dear pupils, it’s high time to create! We will make a similar map of London by ourselves. (Try to remember where each sight stands). Your home task was to revise some general facts about sights and be ready to speak about them. Let’s see what do you know about London’s sights. (Use these pictures and the glue, stick them on the map.) And then we will compare them. So, are you ready? Let’s start:

• The Houses of Parliament. The buildings in which the British parliament sits. Country’s leaders speak there. (Дом Парламента. Здания, в котором заседает Британский Парламент. Лидеры стран вещают оттуда).

• Big Ben  is the famous clock. It is real bell. People say that it is a face of London. (Биг Бен – это знаменитая башня с часами. На самом деле – это название колокола. Люди называют Биг Бен лицом Лондона.)
• Westminster Abbey. It is a large gothic church. All kings and queens have been crowned there. Many famous British people buried there. (Вестминстрское Аббатство. Это большая церковь в готическом стиле. Все короли и королевы коронуются там. Многие известные британцы похоронены там.)

• Buckingham Palace. The Queen of Great Britain lives there. It is the home of the British royal family in London. (Букингемский Дворец. Королева Великобритании живет там. Это дом королевской семьи).
• Picadilly Circus
• Trafalgar Square. It is a central square of London. There is a monument to Admiral Nelson. (Трафальгарская площадь. Это центральная площадь Лондона. Здесь расположен памятник Адмиралу Нельсону).
• National Gallery

• St.Paul’s Cathedral. It is fine cathedral in central London. It was built by Sir Christopher Wren. (Собор Святого Павла. Это прекрасный собор в центре Лондона. Он был построен сэром Кристофером Реном).

• Tower of London. It was a fortress, a royal palace and a prison. But it is a museum now. (Башня Лондона. Она была крепостью, королевским дворцом и тюрьмой. Но сейчас это музей.)
• The Tower Bridge. It is the best-known bridge. This bridge is across the Thames. (Тауер Бридж. Это самый знаменитый мост, который расположен над рекой Темза).

- Have a look, what a fantastic map you have created! I really like it! Thanks a lot! And now, let’s compare these two maps. Does each sight stand on the right place? Yes! Good job!

3. Введение новой лексики (части света)

- If you look at the map carefully, you will see that London’s places of interest are located in different directions. And we will learn to determine them.

- Do you know what is it? This is a compass. And every compass has 4 cardinals: North, South, East, West. (Repeat after me)
