Teacher: Start speaking.
Pupil 1. I invite you to join the tour around Britain. British literature is rich. You can always find a town, a city connected with a famous writer. I want to speak about Scotland, Scottish literature.
In South West Scotland you can follow the story of Robert Burns, the great Scottish poet. He was born in Alloway in 1759. Scots the world over celebrate his birthday every year on the 25th of January. The celebration is called Burns’ Night. It’s held not only in Scotland, but also amongst British people living in other countries. The celebration usually takes the form of a supper called Burns’ Supper, at which traditional Scottish dishes are eaten. Often a Scottish piper plays traditional Scottish songs and wears the national costume which for men is a kilt. Burns’ poems are recited and after the meal is finished there may be some Scottish dancing. The best – known of these dances is the so – called Highland fling. It is usually danced by one man alone.
Edinburgh was and is the home and classroom of dozens of writers.
Pupil 2. I am going to tell you some words about Wales. Wales has not only produced celebrated writers in Welsh and English languages, it has inspired poets such as Wordsworth and Dylan Thomas, too. Here not far from Cardiff, the modern children’s writer Roald Dahl was born.
In Wales you can see the White Rabbit Memorial which proclaims that Wales inspired Lewis Carroll to write his literary treasure “Alice in Wonderland”.
Pupil 3. Now England.
England is the birthplace of such writers as Jerome K. Jerome, the author of the popular novel “Three Men in a Boat”, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens, who wrote about life in England’s workhouses in “Oliver Twist” and English schools in “Nicholas Nickleby”. His novels “Dombey and Son”, “David Copperfield”, “Hard Times”, “Little Dorrit” and many others made him one of the most beloved of all English writers.
The historic town of Stratford – upon – Avon is known as William Shakespeare’s birthplace. It’s also the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, the world’s finest classical theatre company. The first theatre in honour of Shakespeare at Stratford was founded by Charles Tower. In 1926, the theatre was destroyed by fire. Shakespeare lovers all over the world, particularly Americans, rebuilt the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre (now the Royal Shakespeare Theatre). The building was reopened in 1932. The company presents Shakespeare’s works in a lively way so that today’s audiences can enjoy his plays as much as audiences did in the 16th century. Its Shakespearian style of production attracts an international audience and from time to time, the company tours overseas.
Pupil 4. The best place to begin a literary exploration of London is at Westminster Abbey. Here you’ll find the Poets’ Corner with monuments and tombs of outstanding writers.
Many famous writers made London their home. Some of their homes are open to the public. You can visit Charles Dickens’house, where he lived from 1837 – 39. The houses where Oscar Wilde, George Eliot, Mrs. Gaskell, T. S. Eliot and others lived are also museums. Only in London will you have the chance to visit the fictitious addresses of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
Cambridge University has produced a galaxy of writers: from Wordsworth to Thomas Gray and Milton and Thackeray.
Oxford University’s list of former students reads like a writers’ who’s who: R. D. Blackmore (author of “Lorna Doone” ), C. S. Lewis (author of the all – time classic “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” ), J. R. R. Tolkien (author of “The Hobbit” ) and many others.
Pupil 5: I can’t but mention Bath.
Bath is a cultural centre which has attracted many novelists, diarists, poets and playwrights. The poets Wordsworth, Shelley and Alexander Pope, writers Tobias Smollett and Henry Fielding, the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan all spend time in Bath. Notable authors Walter Scott and Charles Dickens stayed there, too. Jane Austen lived and worked in the city between 1800 and 1806.
Take the Dracula Trail around Whitby and see the town which inspired Abraham (Bram) Stoker to write the classic vampire tale, “Dracula”.
Jerome K. Jerome was born in Walsall.
(?) T: Thanks, you good worked
I offer to relax. Listen to tape and imagine you in place of main character and make all hi make. ( дети слушают и делают то о чем говориться в литературном отрывке про Тома Соера)
III. Групповая работа по опорным сигналам “Celebrated writers”, “My favourite writer and his/her books”.
Teacher. And now work in groups. Consult the LCGG, p. 201.
“ The best manager game” ( в основу игры положено монологическое высказывание на тему « My favorite book». Учащимся предлагается следующее задание:
T: “ You work as a manager for a famous Bloomsbury Publishing House in G. B. You are going to discuss the list of the books to be published. Next month. That problem is that only 5 books can be published. You need to convince the owner to publish the book you suggest. Managers, whose suggestions will be accepted, will be given a promotion”
Don’t forget to tell about: :
-The writer, the title of the book
— The content of the book in brief
— the style and the language
— why the book will be interesting for readers ( what about the age?)
You have two- three minutes for your speech.
Учащиеся обсуждают в группах, затем рассказывают о выбранных им книгах для публикации и представляют книги ( учащиеся могут брать книги со стенда)
Teacher. Now let us present (introduce) your favourite book.
Ученик со стенда берет одну из книг. На стенде книги: “Алиса в стране чудес”, “Трагедии Шекспира”, “Айвенго”, стихи Роберта Бернса и т.д.
Pupil 1. The title of the book is “Alice in Wonderland” I enjoy it very much. The author of the book is Lewis Carrol, the English writer. The book was written many years ago but it is a favourite with the children and grown ups. It tells about girl’s adventures in Wonderland, how she lived in a wonderful country. The book is interesting and easy to read. It is useful and gives you knowledge of many important things. It is the type of the book that makes me think.
Pupil 2. And I want to tell you about the write of this book. Lewis Carrol – is a pen – name of Charles Dodgeson. He was a professor of Maths. He didn’t have a family of his own but his friend had. Charles often spent his free time in the friend’s family. The family had three daughters, but Charles loved the smallest one, Alice by name. Very often he told her stories which he thought over for himself. Once he told her the story of Alice which later was handwritten into a book. His friends liked the book and advised him to publish it. So, the book was published and came in 1856. On money that he received from the publishing of the book he traveled much, he visited Europe.
IV. Литературоведческая работа по опорным фразам.

Pupil 1. Books play a very important part in our life. We learn many things from them. They help us in self – education, in deciding problems of life. Some books are interesting and easy to read. They are full of information about things which happen in real life. Such books are useful and give you knowledge in many fields of man’s activity. Books make me think. Some authors have a fine imagination, they hold our interest right to the end of the book by creating very believable characters. And you can spend hours with such books. “Reading makes a full man”.
Pupil 2. I like to read, I have many books at home. I think there is practically no family that doesn’t have books. Books are our teachers and advisers. Our teachers recommend them to us for reading. There are many kinds of books. They are adventure stories, historical novels, books about nature, books on science, etc. Most of them describe true events, real life to the readers, they are original and funny. Such books make interesting easy reading, but others make unhappy reading. They help us to shape our life and how to take the next step when we face a difficult situation. In a word all books are various and we enjoy reading them. So, “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
