T: Good morning, everybody. Glad to see you. Sit down, please. How are you? (P1, P2, P3: OK./ Fine, thanks./ Not too bad, thank you. )
What is the date today? (P: It’s the 14th of February today.)
Do you know what holiday do British and American children celebrate today? (P: As far as I know, they celebrate St. Valentine’s Day.)
Congratulate each other, say, “Happy Valentine’s Day”. OK. Let’s start our lesson. The theme of our lesson is “What do you think of popular things”. Try to guess what we are going to speak about. Begin with “Maybe/Probably we are going to speak about …”. (P: Maybe we are going to speak about people’s opinions about popular things? – T: Yes, you are absolutely right.)
Do you want to know their opinions? – Cl.: Yes, we do.
Look at the blackboard again, you can see two English proverbs here. Let’s read them.
(T – Cl., P1, P2.)
- Every bird likes its own nest best. (Всяк кулик своё болото хвалит.)
- There is no place like home. (Дома и солома едома.)
How do you understand them? What do they mean? (P: As far as I understand, they mean that every person likes his own place and everything in it best of all.)
Children, do you think that we can have the proverbs as our motto? (Cl.: Yes, we can.) So today we are going to speak about popular items in different countries.
II. Контрольно-оценочный этап.
1. T: I think it will be easier to talk if we remember opinion and fact adjectives we’ve learned recently.
Let’s make a Word Web. Try to name as many adjectives as you can. The student who says the last adjective in a group gets a counter.
(P1, P2, P3, …)
Brand Name Goods
2. In order to remember some popular items I suggest you to play a game “A Cat in a Sack”. Do you want to play? – Cl.: Yes, we do.
Take out a card, read and guess what popular item it is. (P1, P2, P3, P4, …)
Cards:
