1. Вступительное
слово учителя. Сообщение цели урока.
Our lesson today will be devoted
to youth subcultures. You have already learned a lot about different youth
groups and movements and today you’ll sum up your knowledge and try to create an
ideal youth subculture.
A lot of teenagers join different
groups and movements nowadays. Why? Perhaps it is the lack of any other way to
express themselves that attracts young people to different subcultures. May be
they protest against their parents or rebel against the older generation. In my
opinion, the main reason of joining a group is the ability to show their
solidarity with like–minded friends. There are a lot of different subcultures,
so young people can find a group or a movement according to their interests.
2. Аудирование с
целью общего понимания прослушанного.
a) At the blackboard you can see a
definition of the word subculture. I’d like you to read it and tell if you
agree with this definition.
A subculture is any
group with a distinct style and identity.
Different subcultures
have their own beliefs, values, fashion
and favourite music.
b) What are the main сomponents of a youth
subculture according to this definition?
Youth subculture
Music
Fashion
Values and beliefs
c) Now I’d like you to listen to the
descriptions of some youth subcultures and guess what they are.
Goths.
They appeared in
the early eighties but are still rather popular today. You can tell them from
the costume and make up.
They are really
interesting and can look really striking with their white skin, black or purple
hair, black lipstick and fingernails.
They see the
world as a dark place, are quite pessimistic and interested in death.
Ravers.
They are thought
to be violent and rebellious because they organize massive all-night dance
parties with loud computer-made music and drugs. They like to be in a
collective and want to try out all sort of options.
Punks.
They rebel
against the values, norms and materialism in society. They express this in loud
and violent music, strange clothing and brightly coloured spiked hair.
They reject
everything and their angry songs critisize big business, the media and the
government. The subjects of many of their lyrics are boredom and teenage
rebellion.
Skinheads.
They cut their
hair shorter than others do. The majority of them are working-class, patriotic,
reggae and football fanatics. Most wear tight trousers and heavy boots (Doc
Martens). They are regarded as extremely violent and aggressive.
Hippies.
They were
opposed the normal standards of society, showing this by dressing in unusual
clothes, having long hair and living in groups together, often in quiet places
in the countryside.
They believed in
peace and showed their peaceful feelings by wearing flowers in their hair. For
this reason they were also called ‘flower people’ or ‘flower children’.
One of their
favourite sayings was ‘Make love not war’. They always wanted to change the
world for the best.

4. Аудирование с целью извлечения конкретной
информации.
What
do some of teenagers think about joining a subculture? Listen to their opinions
and name the reasons they give.
Why Do Teens Choose a Subculture?
Anthony: It seems to the kids
that the parents are always saying No! That everything
about us, our
hair, our music, our clothes, the way we talk, our heroes our dreams, all are
considered bad by the generation who can’t stop patting itself on the back over
how democratic and liberal it is.
Dick: I think the
inspiration to form a youth culture comes out of a combination of
fashion, style
and music. And often it’s the particularity of the music, which then gathers
the group and then extends and develops.
Roger: You want to know when
you are 14, 15, 16, 17, you want to know who you are
and try out all
sort of options. The way you look, the way you dress will tell you and
everybody else something about the person you need to be.
Tracy: In many ways the
elder generation cannot understand the younger, because
so much has
increased in complexity. Besides the youth always tend to change the world.
Angela: You’re unsure of
where you are going. Some people know exactly of where
they are going
but most teenagers don’t have an idea, and it’s a way of, kind of, having
something that they can say they belong to and that they are ‘whatever’.
5. Беседа с учащимися.
a) Do you agree with these teenagers?
What is your own opinion about joining a subculture?
You may use the following ideas:
to express their
own identity;
to know who they
are;
to solve their
problems;
to change the
world for the best;
to try out all
sort of options;
to rebel against
the society / the older generation;
to protest
against their parents;
to reject everything;
to be in a
collective;
to differ from
other people;
to show off.
Don’t forget to use these phrases.
b) Many teenagers believe that they can
solve all their problems by joining a group. Do you think they are right? May
be in a group they can face more serious problems? Give your arguments for and
against belonging to a youth group.
6. Чтение с
целью извлечения конкретной информации.
One of the main сomponents of a
youth subculture is music. There are various music styles and
members of different youth groups have their own favourite music. At the
blackboard you can see the names of some music styles. On the cards you will
find the information about them. Match the descriptions with the styles.
Techno Punk Rock Reggae Rock’n’Roll
Indie Rap
A. This was the
most important form of West Indian popular music of the 1970s and 1980s. It
came from Jamaica in the Caribbean. It had a heavy dance beat, but was not too
fast. Its superstar was Bob Marley. This style was a mix of rock, African and
South American music.
B. It began in
the early 1950s in the USA. Within a few years, It had become America’s newest
and most popular kind of music. The singers of the ‘50s were rough and
dangerous. Their music was dangerous too. Teenagers all over the world fell in
love with this new style. In the mid-1950s it became the central part of
teenage rebellion.
C. This music was
started by DJs in the USA, where rock music was still popular. This was the
music of technological advance. It is usually used by ravers on their all-night
dance parties. Hackers also like it.
D. In the 1970s
some bands started to play loud, violent music. It had simple structure and
arrangements. The songs were short and fast, and the lyrics were often shouted
out. The musicians didn’t look rich. They looked poor and angry. They brought
new energy to music. All this started as a revolution and soon it was the
fashion.
E. In the late
1980s and early 1990s this kind of music with its heavy beat and lots of words
became very popular as an expression of hip hop culture. The themes of many
songs were often based on realistic images of violent inner-city life and
seized the attention and interest of young people.
F. The name of
this music means ‘ independent’. It is played by the new British bands like Mega
City Four, Nine Inch Nails and Primal Scream. They are different, modern,
interesting but not many people appreciate them. Old people just think that
they are dangerous.
d) I’d like you to listen to some
musical extracts and guess what musical styles are these.
