Keesh
план-конспект урока по английскому языку

1.

(Introduce the story.)

– Today we will read “Keesh”, a story about a young Eskimo boy. He has a problem. In this story, we see how he finds a very creative way to solve his problem. How about you? Do you ever think of new ways to deal with the problems in your life?

(Listen to students’ comments about solving problems. Encourage them to give an example of one problem they solved.)

(Locate the population centers of the indigenous people known as Eskimos on a map or use the following slide. Show an image of Eskimos. Teach the vocabulary for the story.)

2.

(Introduce the task to students.)

– As we read the story today, we will practice the strategy “predicting” to guess what will happen next in the story. When we think about what the characters in a story will do, we are using our imagination to help us understand the story. I’ll show you how to do this.

(Play or read aloud to “… .”)

(Tell students, “… .”)

(Model the strategy: “… .”)

(Play or read aloud to “… .”)

(Check prediction: “… .”)

3.

(Ask.)

–  What do you think will happen when Keesh goes out hunting? Will he be safe? Remember, I told you before that Keesh came up with a new idea to solve his problem. Keep that in mind.

(Listen to students’ ideas about Keesh’s hunting trip).

(Explain)

–  Good. You are making predictions now about what will happen next in the story about Keesh. Let’s read some more and check on our predictions.

(Play or read aloud to “… .”.)

(Instruct students to talk about the predictions they can make.)

–  Think, what will happen now? How is Keesh hunting so well? Is he using magic? Is the spirit of his father helping him, as the villagers say?

(Give students time to discuss their predictions. Ask them to write down at least two predictions on a notebook or paper. Let’s read some more of the story. Keep thinking about your prediction.)

(Play or read aloud to “… .”’)

(Review the events of the story by asking students to summarize.)

–  What did the villagers find when they followed Keesh? Can you guess, or predict, what he was doing?”

(Give students time to discuss their predictions.)

(Play to the end of the story.)

4.

(Ask students to talk about Keesh’s explanation at the end of the story.)

–  Do you understand what he did? Did you predict that he had a trick like this?

(Give students time to talk about their predictions.)

(Ask.)

–  Now I’d like to ask – what do you think about using this strategy “predicting” when you read? Did it help you follow the story? Write a sentence or two on your paper to turn in about how predicting helped you today.

5.

(Ask.)

–  Are there other times when you can predict?

(Listen to students’ responses.)

(Continue.)

–  This strategy is helpful in both reading and listening. Predicting prepares your mind to understand what you read or hear. And remember, it doesn’t matter if what you predict happens. Just predicting is enough to get your brain more active as you learn. Try using this strategy tonight when you do your homework, or in your next class. Let me know how it goes!
