 ХОД УРОКА

I. Introduction.

– Good morning, children. Sit down, please. Today we have a lesson which is not quite ordinary. Children, I want you to determine the topic of the lesson yourselves after listening to the poem I shall read.

Once upon a time There lived a funny guy. He always lived next door to me With him was very fun to be. I often turned to him for help – He always gave a helping hand. He stood by me no matter what, We both were going in for sport. We talked our problems through together And found what to do in any weather. I knew that he’d betray me never And that it would be so forever.

– So, children, what is the topic of our lesson? – You are right, our lesson is devoted to one of the greatest human feelings – friendship. That is why the topic of it is “Friends and friendship”. The symbol of friendship is two linked hands. – Children, our aim is to make a portrait of an ideal friend to the end of lesson summing up all the facts we will discuss during it.

II. Warm-up activities

– First of all I ask you to say what you think about friends and friendship in 1-2 sentences starting like this “A true friend is a person…”, “A false friend is a person …”, “Friendship is a thing…” and so on. (A true friend is a person who is responsible and who can keep secrets. A real friend is a person who worries about you and tries to understand you. Friendship is a thing that lasts forever. A true friend is someone who stands by you till the end).

III. Checking homework

– Well, thank you, children. I agree with your opinions on this subject. Of course, friendship is a perfect feeling and a lot of Russian and foreign poets sang the praise of friendship and true friends in their poems. Besides, there are plenty of songs and proverbs about friendship. At the previous lesson I asked you to find a proverb on this topic, interpret it and give the Russian equivalent. Let’s check how well you have coped with this task. Who wants to start?

(Proverbs: А man is known by the company he kept. He is a good friend that speaks well of us behind our back. False friends are worse than open enemies. A joke never gains an enemy but often looses a friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A friend to all is a friend of none. The friends you choose help you win or loose. etc.)

– Thank you. The other task of your homework was to make a literature translation of two English poems in pairs. And now you will be poets-translators. Who will start? Please, (names). – Well, thanks. Children, whose translation do you like more? – Can you give the examples of literature characters that may be called true friends? (Tom Soyer and Heckle Berry Finn, Sherlock Holmes and Dc. Watson, Kay and Gerda, D’Artanian and three musketeers).

1). Friendship is a thing for two, Three or four, even more, Like a song that made to sing Friendship is a doing thing.

2). A friend is a person, who shares, A friend is a person who cares. He tries to understand And gives a helping hand.

IV. Practice in making up dialogues according to the situation

– Well, children. I see you remember the vocabulary and now I want you to divide into 2 groups. The 1st group is the 1st row and those who are sitting in the second row are the next group. You must make up short dialogues according to the suggested situations.

The situation for the 1st group:

1) Your family has just moved to another city and you are a newcomer at a school. You have butterflies in your stomach (feel nervous) because you are alone and have no friends there so far. You are trying to meet somebody and maybe to make friends with this person.

The situation for the second group:

2) You are an excellent pupil and carefully prepare your homework every day. Your friend is having trouble in class and is asking your work. - I’ll give you 5 minutes for preparation and then each pair of each group will act out the dialogues at the blackboard.

h other? (They sometimes quarrel but make up quickly)

V. Summation

– Now it’s time for groups to present the portrait of an ideal friend. I’ll give each group the sheets of paper where you must write some words or phrases characterizing an ideal friend. After that you will come to the blackboard in turns, stick the sheet near this portrait and say what a true friend looks like. – So, here he is, our ideal friend! You see that he is loyal, reliable and supportive. He’ll never betray you and always cheer you up in trouble. It is so important to have only true friends because we just can’t do without them.

VI. Homework and marks

– For the next lesson I want you to make a project on the topic “Friendship” in which you should express your own opinion on this matter and tell about your true friends. Besides, you may draw pictures or stick photos of your friends. – Children, our lesson is finishing and I’d like to thank you because you were active and worked hard at the lesson. Now each of you will get the card with a symbol of friendship. On the back side of it you’ll see your mark for the lesson. – In conclusion let’s sing a song called “The more we are together”.
