Teacher:The first question you need to answer is who this man is? Why have people been still celebrating this date? Why are we fascinated by his plays that were written so long ago? What central themes did he deal with in his plays? What do you know about his powerful influence on English language and his contribution to world literature?

Ученики отвечают на вопросы учителя

Teacher: It must be obvious to you that Shakespeare’s prodigious vitality remains unimpaired for centuries. But let’s sum up all the information we have discussed and set out the aim of our lesson.

Ученики определяют цель урока

Teacher: And now meet William Shakespeare!!!

Звучит музыка из балета «Ромео и Джульетта», танец рыцарей. На сцене появляется Шекспир и 2 ученика (Магомед Г, Саша И), они танцуют.

Shakespeare (Даня):Good morning, class! Iam a great writer, I’m William Shakespeare. I’ve come here to share some knowledge with you. Would you like to ask me some questions?

Pupil: In spite of your fame, we know very little about your life because you didn’t write any diaries and reminiscences, could you tell us anything?

Shakespeare: Of course, with great pleasure!

Шекспир знакомит учеников со своей жизнью, на экране воспроизводится презентация.

 I was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, a small English town. Oh, here you can see my house. My father, John Shakespeare, came to Stratford  and opened a shop there. His business was making and selling leather gloves. Yes, that is my family. I studied at local grammar school because my father wanted me to be an educated person. Now you can see my school. At the age of 18 I married Anne Hathaway, we met by the river Avon, and she called me «Sweet Swan of Avon» and we had 3 children. Meet my wife! I lived in Stratford until I was 21. I was fond of actor’s profession and decided to become an actor. With this purpose I went to London and also I started to write. I wrote 37 plays, two narrative poems and 154 sonnets.

Pupil: What is a sonnet?

Pupil: A sonnet is a poetical form. Shakespeare’s sonnet has 14 lines, it’s divided into three stanzas of four lines with a final rhyming couplet. Let’s listen to the sonnet 76

Ученики 7 класса читают сонет 76

Pupil: Who were your sonnets about love dedicated to? This woman must be a Goddess?

Shakespeare: Oh, no! I am very sorry but this woman is known as a Dark Lady. I can’t tell you who she is, it’s my secret. But she is young, married and faithful to her husband, but I can’t help loving her…..

Ученики 10 класса читают сонет под музыку Прокофьева

Teacher: Not only did Shakespeare turn tables in the world of literature, but he also changed the world of theatre.

Shakespeare:I love theatre, it’s my passion!

Teacher: Dear Shakespeare, we  prepared a small performance for you! Everybody knows that your greatest tragedy is Hamlet and its hero is  one of the most popular characters in world literature.  This philosophical drama is the most widely staged, read and discussed of all the stories in the world.

Shakespeare: It’s great! Hooray! And I wonder what your attitude is to my Hamlet?

Ученики отвечают на вопрос Шекспира

Teacher: Let’s enjoy the performance!

Начинается выступление Гамлета, а на экране появляются афиши спектаклей и фильмов по произведениям Шекспира

Hamlet (Никита): To be or not to be....

Включается видеоролик, в котором звучит продолжение монолога на английском языке, затем звучит  перевод, исполненный И.Смоктуновским  

Shakespeare: Thank you! It was magnificient! You know, it would be interesting for me to know how you spend your free time?

Ребята отвечают на вопрос Шекспира

Shakespeare: In the 16th century we used to gather and dance on the balls. Now let me show you the way we did it.

Звучит музыка, начинается танец «Volta», который исполняют три пары (Даня+Аида, Тася+Никита, Света+Саша Р)

Pupil: And then again, Shakespeare's impact on the English language is simply unbelievable. The incredible total number of 1,700 words that the poet introduced to the language strikes your imagination.
Being familiar with the fact, one can easily understand that an awful lot of words we use in the modern English originated from Shakespearean works. Now let’s watch a video and play a word game. You will see several sentences, you should find the words that were first introduced by Shakespeare in each sentence.

Начинается просмотр видео, ребята выполняют задание

Pupil: If his influence still doesn't seem great enough, here are even more words that Shakespeare used for the very first time in the history of English. Show the words!

Все ученики в зале  показывают карточки со словами, которые придумал Шекспир 

Teacher: Also there are some phrases that have become part of everyday language of Englishmen and Russian people as well. I will tell you the english quotes, and you should tell me the Russian equivalents.

All’s well that ends well. All that glisters is not gold. A sea of troubles. Brevity is the soul of wit.......

Shakespeare: Thank you very much for this lesson. Now I can see that my works are immortal and will remain truly immortal as long as the mankind exists. But best of all I liked the phrase that John Webster said about me:: “Next to God Shakespeare has created most!”

Teacher: Did you enjoy our lesson?Was it difficult for you to understand the language of Shakespeare? All is well that ends well. Our party is coming to an end. I do hope you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your attention. And dear children enjoy reading Shakespeare!
