Ход урока

Вступительное слово учителя и речевая зарядка

Good morning, everybody!

        Look at the blackboard. What’s the theme of our lesson?

        Right, the theme is “Holidays”. Holidays go round and round the whole year. We live waiting for holidays. Which is the next? When is the nearest? What shall we do then?

        People all over the world love holidays. Any holiday is an event. We feel happy and exiting and not only because of a day off after our hard work, and not only of presents which all of us like getting. I think we need holidays because of their magical influence on people. We get not only presents and the best wishes but we get a lot of positive, pleasant emotions, which help us live.

        The task of our lesson is to answer the question “what are holidays?”, discuss different kinds of them, listen to people celebrating some events.

        We have just finished Module 5 in our textbook called “Celebration” and it fits our discussion perfectly.

        So, what are holidays?

        What do they serve to?

SS:        Holidays serve to meet specific social and psychological needs of the people of the country.

What groups of holidays can you name?

SS:        Holidays can be official and unofficial

SS:        Religious and secular

SS:        State and professional

SS:        Family and national

        Well done, pupils!

Now, look at your desks. They are different. You can see some symbols or attributes connected with different holidays. Most of them belong to the same group, but one is odd. Name the holidays represented on your table and name the odd one and explain why you think so. I’ll give you two minutes for discussion.

        Now, whose desk wants to be the first?

SS1:        We think these are symbols of Russian state holidays.

        Russian national flag says about Russian Independence Day.

        Russian Constitution – about Constitution Day.

The cruiser “Aurora” is the symbol of Great October Socialist revolution.

The odd one is this box. It is beautifully decorated. It may be a present. Presents are not usually given on these days.

T:        Do you agree with the answer?

        Any questions?

        S1, ask S2 when people celebrate Russian Independence Day.

S1:        S2, when do…?

S2:        On the 12th of June

        S2, ask S1 when Russia became independent.

S2:        S1, when did…?

S1:        In 1991, after the break up of the Soviet Union.

S3:        I would like S1 to tell us about November holidays.

S1:        The 7th of November used to be the greatest official holiday of the country celebrating the anniversary of the October Revolution. This day was celebrated by military parades in Red Square in Moscow and in other big cities.

But after the collapse of the Soviet Union this day was renamed into the Day of Reconciliation and Harmony. It was marked by marches and demonstrations. For many people it was just another day off.

Since this year we have had another holiday, another day off – the 4th of November – the Day of National Unity. This day is devoted to the people’s struggle in the war against Poland in 1612. The monument to Minin and Pozharsky in Moscow reminds us of this period of history.

T:        Well, who is the next group?

SS:        The main Russian holidays are represented here.

I think these things (I don’t know the word) belong to an officer. On the 23rd of February we celebrate Country’s Defendant Day. Soldiers and officers and everyone else who ever defended the country or are in the Army are greeted with special cards and given presents. Traditionally, we greet all men and boys.

S4:        Flowers and chocolates are the best present on the 8th of March. On this day, on the contrary, men and boys try to please their mothers, sisters and friends by giving them presents and doing the housework.

The odd one is the pumpkin, which is often made for Halloween. It is not so popular in Russia as it is in the USA. Young people prefer celebrating it because they have a lot of fun on this day.

T:        Look at this wartime card and at this medal. They belong to my father and my father in law. They tell us about one of the greatest holidays in our country – Victory Day. Who wants to tell us about this day? Besides, this year we have celebrated the 70th anniversary of our Great victory.

S5:        I want to tell you about it.

First, I want to say that the memory of World War II and the Great Patriotic Was is deeply felt in Russia. Almost in each family somebody either took part in the war or died because of it. We remember all of them.

On the 9th of May parades and processions of veterans are held in big cities. The veterans meet in the parks and squares of the cities to recollect the days of war and exchange greetings. Wartime music is played everywhere. Films about the war are shown on TV. People lay flowers at the tombs of soldiers.

This day is the greatest holiday but it’s the holiday with tears in our eyes. At night fireworks and great salutes are let off.

T:        S2, ask S3 if this day is celebrated in other countries.

S2:        S3, is this day celebrated in Europe?

S3:        Yes, it is. This day is widely celebrated in many European countries because they fought against fascism too.

T:         Do you know that some our pupils took part in celebrations of the 60th anniversary of our great victory?

S4:        I know that S1 is a member of our famous dancing company “Un Len”.  I’d like to know if they took part in the celebrations with their friends-dancers.

S1:        Yes, we did. We danced at the concerts for veterans and other people.

S4:        Where were the concerts? On the 9th of May we walked in the centre of S-Pb, but I didn’t see stages.

S1:        We danced in different places, in the “Oktyabrsky” concert hall, in “Ledovy”. All in all we took part in 5 concerts.

S4:        Great! My granny was invited to “Ledovy” and she liked the concert very much.

T:        Well, what the third group can you tell us about your holidays?

SS:        We can see the symbols of the most important religious holidays: Christmas and Easter.

        Christmas is celebrated on the 24th of December in Europe and on the 7th of January in Russia.

        Easter is the main Orthodox holiday. Children colour eggs and enjoy traditional dishes. Churches hold special services on these days.

T:        I want you to listen to music. What’s this?

SS:        It’s a carol, a Special Song.

Originally carols were songs performed with dancing at Christmas and other festivals. They were often sung outside houses by fantastically dressed actors called Mummers. Many of today’s carols were written as Christmas hymns celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

I heard that in many European cities and towns there are special carol services. Special people sing and ask for money. They collect money for homeless and poor people.

T:        Well, and what about the odd symbol on your table.

S:        Oh, it is an ABC-book. I think everybody agrees that it says about the 1st of September, the Day of Knowledge.

T:        The last group of holidays is…

SS:        Family holidays.

        We are sure that they are the most favourite.

        As for me I like New Year most of all. Many people believe it is a family holiday, but many young people like celebrating it together.

S7:        S8, could you tell us about one of your family celebrations which you remember best of all?

S8:        I can tell you about one of the best New Year celebrations.

S2:        How old were you then?

S8:        I was …, and my sister was ….

S3:        But why was it the happiest day? I can’t believe it.

S8:        My Mum and Dad invited all my friends. We were dressed in different costumes, even my Mum and Dad.

S3:        You are joking! What costumes?

S8:        My Mum was a ……, and my Dad was a ……. In the end we were given presents. I got a doll, but what a doll! It was as big as me, it was the most beautiful doll in the world.

S2:        And where is it now?

S8:        I’ve been keeping it since then and every time when I look at it, I remember that day.

S4:        And I remember all my Birthdays because I like getting presents.

T:        And what about the odd one?

S7:        This big Valentine doesn’t belong to this group, because people usually send them to the people they love, and I think it’s a personal holiday, a holiday for two people.

T:        Well done! I see you know everything about holidays. But do you remember certain rules and obligations connected with parties?

        Let’s remember modal verbs, let’s talk about what you can or can’t, have to or don’t have to, should or shouldn’t do at parties.

• You should dress smartly even if you are at home.
• You shouldn’t be late to a dinner party if you are invited to somebody’s place.
• You can bring a present or flowers.
• You don’t have to buy an expensive present, especially if you don’t know the hosts very well.
• You don’t have to bring food to parties, but sometimes you can bring something tasty or unusual.
• People can’t smoke at the table.
• Adults can drink alcohol, but they shouldn’t drink too much.
• Children can’t drink alcohol.
• You should thank the hosts after the meal.
• You can help them with the washing up.
• You mustn’t forget the main table manners.
• You shouldn’t forget our national dishes.

T:        Well, our discussion has touched national dishes and traditions.

        It’s time to remember the texts in our textbook about British national celebrations. It was your home task. You had to read them at home. Open your books, p. 42. Look through the texts quickly and answer the questions.

SS:        

T:        We have remembered some British celebrations. Are there similar holidays in Russia? Do they remind us of something?

S:        On the 1st of May people celebrate the coming of spring.

In Russia early in spring people celebrate Maslenitsa. This colourful festival marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring and Lent. People make pancakes, sing and dance and visit each other.

On the other hand the 1st of May is the Day of Spring and Labour. It’s marked by demonstrations and different kinds of outdoor activities.

T:        We have discussed many holidays but haven’t mentioned more than fourty professional holidays.

        Don’t forget to congratulate your nearest and dearest people with their professional holidays.

If you do it, it means you respect them and their occupations, you value their jobs. You say some warm pleasant words and it means you take care of these people, try to cheer them up.

Isn’t it nice?

And, what else?

Sometimes, we have days neither holidays nor days off, but we want to remember them because they have a special meaning for us, and we want to spend them in a special way.

Now, I want you to listen to four people.

What are they celebrating?

Answer the questions: what do they feel? Why?

…

Well done, everybody!

So, what’s the result of our discussion?

SS:        

• We need holidays.
• We don’t have to forget our national traditions and customs.
• We don’t have to forget professional holidays.
• Try to do your best if you want to make your friends and relatives happy.
• It’s too pleasant giving presents not only getting them.
• Wish everybody good luck and it will be back soon.
• We should be more interested in traditions and customs of different countries.

T:        Thank you, everybody.

A beautiful song in the end.
