Предлагаемая нами презентация « Выдающиеся британские писатели»,результат проектной деятельности учащихся 7 класса, может быть использована в сценарии литературной гостиной о жизни и творчестве Даниеля Дефо, Джонатана Свифта и Чарльза Диккенса.
“Гостиная” - это встреча любителей литературы и поэзии, а также обучающихся, увлеченных чтением приключенческих рассказов, участников литературного кружка и тех, кто любит английский язык и изучает его с удовольствием.
Само слово “гостиная” предполагает круг определенных лиц - гостей (guests) и “хозяев” (hosts), которые ведут задушевную беседу, ненавязчиво развлекают друг друга.
“Хозяева” - это аудитория, принимающая самое непосредственное участие в действии, а также ведущие (comperes - конферансье, ведущий программу).
Функции или роли «хозяев» всегда расписаны в сценарии. Важно составить сценарий так, чтобы не было затянувшихся пауз, которые могут привести к усталости аудитории и потере интереса.
Непременным условием сценаристов (учителя или старшеклассников) является равномерное распределение словесных форм общения на английском языке, и вставных номеров, т.е. музыкальных произведений, отрывков из пьесы, инсценировок какого-нибудь рассказа или романа, исполнения танца или песни.
