1. As you can see the Motto of our lesson is (сл

Today we are going to speak about family matters, but before we start I’d like you to explain the meaning of the word “FAMILY”. As you know “a family” means a group of people who are re­lated to each other by blood (e.g. a brother or a sister) or by marriage (e.g. a husband and his wife’s sister). Look at the word “MATTERS” in the title. Is it a noun, a verb or both?

Look up the word in the dictionary an give the Russian equivalent.

Matter, n. - вопрос, дело

To matter, v. - иметь значение.

Can the both meanings be suitable for it? (yes, they can)

Each group will have one paragraph and will fill in the gaps with proper grammatical form of capitalized words. Then you will try to put the paragraphs in the right order. After all you’ll think of a title for the text.

Spend Time with Family and Loved Ones

When was the last time you told your family and close friends that you loved them? Whatever you answer, do it today. A few days ago my grandfather was taken to hospital, just days after his eightieth birthday, for heart problem. He had already had heart surgery, and this time, as in the past, he managed.

But any day can be his day, the day when it will be late to tell him how much he meant to me over the years. Don’t let that day to come for you loved ones without telling them what they mean to you. I know that for many of us, expressing those kinds of feelings isn’t easy. That’s try for me, but I have tried to overcome those barriers since I understood it.

But even if that is too difficult for you, I recommend you to spend more time with your family or your best friends. Talk to them. Listen to them. Understand them. Just spend a little time with your loved ones showing that you care. I have already come to the point that it’s not our words, but our actions, really speak what our hearts are feeling.

VIII. Рефлексия деятельности. Подведение итогов урока.

You are absolutely right. I am very proud of you. And to conclude the point let’s create a portrait of a good and happy family. What are the most important qualities of a good family?

Pupils answers: respectful, loyal, friendly, caring, helpful, supporting, loving, honest, understanding, responsible. It’s time to make up a Cinquain related to the word family. Let’s remind each other what is a cinquain. Cinquain is a short poem which appeared in the USA under the influence of Japanese poetry. It consists of five lines.

Line 1: title – 1 noun

Line 2: description – 2 adjectives that describe line 1

Line 3: actions – 3 verbs that relate to line 1

Line 4: a sentence of 4 words, that relate to line 1

Line 5: one word (synonym of line 1) that sums it up.

Now lets see if you managed to realize your hopes. If you think you did – clap your hands.

Thank you. Your home task is on the screen. Good bye!
