Сценарий проведения  внеклассного мероприятия  о знаменитой ливерпульской четверке.

1 СЛАЙД   (Welcome to the Beatles)

2 СЛАЙД   ( фото the Beatlles)

Student 1

Good afternoon dear teachers.

Student 2 

Good afternoon boys  and girls , our dear guests.

Student 1

Today we’ve gathered together because we'ld  like to speak about  The Beatles.

 Student 2-

Our mothers and fathers grew up with their songs. We hope our love of this group will help us to understand each other better.

Student 1.

So let’s start.

3 СЛАЙД   (MUSIC)

Student 2-

 Music is the greatest thing which connects people all over the world.

Student 1.

It hasn’t nationality or citizenship.

Student 2.

It’s a common human property.

4 -6 СЛАЙД

Student 1.

Who are they? Or maybe it would be more logic to ask – who were they? Because  they don’t  exist as a creative union for more than 40 years, and two of them, died. So – who ARE they, the four young Englishmen called ”the famous four?”

 Student 2. 

The answers may be numerous.

Well, some may say they are four young long-haired hooligans singing primitive rock’n’ roll tunes like “Can’t buy me love”.

Student 1.  

The others may put them in the same rank with the greatest composers, such as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach.

Student2. 

Still the others may call them outstanding pacifists, philosophers and optimists remembering texts of their compositions, their mode of life and their obvious influence on the young generation in the sixties.

Student 1. 

Let us try to find our own answer to this question.

7СЛАЙД   (THE BEATLES AND LIVERPOOL)

Student 2 

Surely, they are four boys from Liverpool, who decided to play and sing together. None of them got any special musical education. Each and every has got his own strong and sometimes strange individuality.

Student 1

15 years of joint life and work, several concerts at the greatest TV-studios, concert-halls and stadiums of the World, some more than 200 songs.

Student 2 

and the super-popularity which doesn’t fade away after so many years of their break-up.

Student 1  

They are: energetic, always fighting John Lennon( Слайд о Дж. Ленноне, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Star)

Student 2

romantic and fantastically talented Paul McCartney

Student 1

 philosophical and bit religious George Harrison

Student 2

Well, what’s the use of all that talk? – They are THE BEATLES.  Have you never heard of them?

8 СЛАЙД  (БИТЛОМАНИЯ)

Student1 

A hysteria   that the newspapers called “Beatlemania” swept through Britain and America. In 1964 the film “A Hard Day’s Night” was made. In this film we can see John, Paul, George and Ringo and listen to their songs

Student 2

The group came to be perceived as the embodiment of progressive ideals, seeing their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s

9СЛАЙД (the team included фото всех битлов появляются)

10 СЛАЙД ( Джон Леннон)

Student 1

here were four people in this group. John Lennon is considered to be the organizer and the leader of the ensemble. He was born on the 9th of October 1940 in Liverpool

Student 2 

John's father, Alfred (or Fred) worked as a waiter on merchant ships. John's mother's name was Julia Stanley; she was kind and cheerful. John lived with his mother only for 18 months. His father was thought to have died at sea, so Julia re-married. This is why John was brought up by his aunt Mary, Stanley's elder sister. John called her Mimi.

Student 1 

After finishing the elementary school, John attended the Quarry Bank Grammar School for Boys. . However, the teachers didn't like him because John wouldn't follow the strict rules. John wasn't a good student at his school. His mother Julia encouraged her son to pursue musical hobbies, teaching him to play the harmonica. Julia later bought a guitar for her son and John spent a lot of hours playing different melodies.

Student2 

One day he had the idea to organize a band. The group was formed and called themselves The Quarry Men. The boys began playing at home and school parties, birthday parties and street holidays. John became acquainted with Paul McCartney at one of the holidays in 1956. John Lennon once said that the story of the Beatles had begun on that day when he had met Paul McCartney.

11 СЛАЙД  (Paul McCartney)

Paul performed well at the Liverpool Institute, doing best at Latin, Greek and English Spelling. He took an active part in extracurricular activities. At school Paul found out that he was left-handed – he couldn’t write with his right hand.

Student 1

Paul was keen on football, but music didn’t play an important part in his childhood. However, he learned to compose songs on his piano very quickly.

Student 2

Paul asked his father to buy him a guitar. He had to rearrange the strings on his guitar because he played with his left hand. Paul was fond of rock’n’roll and Elvis Presley. His brother Mike remembers, “When Paul took up the guitar, he forgot everything

12 СЛАЙД (George Harrison)

Student 2

 Ringo Starr was born on July 7, 1940. His father, Richard Henry Parkin Starki, worked as a baker. His wife, Elsie Gleeve, was a waitress in a bar.

Elsie worked hard, that  is why little Richard had to stay alone or at their neighbour’s

Student 1 

Richard was very sociable as a result. He was a very weak boy and often missed classes at school. He couldn’t read even at the age of 8, though Elsie tried her best to help her son.

He was invited to join the group in summer 1962. He was paid 25 pounds a week.

14 СЛАЙД  (достижения)

Student 1 

Every morning Paul sat at the piano and played his own music. The melody of “Yesterday” appeared one morning while Paul was cooking breakfast. That's why first he named the song “Scrambled eggs”.

Student 2 

But he couldn’t think of words. Nice sad music didn’t agree with simple words. The words came after several days and they were charming. Let’s try to sing it all together
