Student 1. Look
at this mysterious Stonehenge.
:When we look at it we imagine Great Britain at once. But what is
it-Stonehenge? ( Students’ answers)
Student 1.
Stonehenge dates from between 1900 and 1600 B.C. It is made of many upright
stones, standing in groups of twos. They are joined on the top by other flat
stones. Was it a burial-place or a sacred place where early man worshipped the
sun? It is still a mystery.
Student 2.
Today we shall learn more about the history of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland.
TOGETHER: The
pages of History.
You know
now Great Britain consists of four countries –England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland. What are their capitals? (высказывания учащихся)
Look at
the Union Jack- the national flag of the country. Find the mistake.
Student 3. What
are the patron saints of these countries?
Student 3. Let’s
speak about the national emblems of these countries and the legends, connected
with them. What is the national emblem of England? Wales? Scotland? Northern
Ireland?
Student 2. Do
you know the legend about the thistle?
( The handmade cartoon
film about the thistle.) In very ancient times the Norsemen landed somewhere on
the east coast of Scotland with the intention of plundering the country. The
Scots assembled with their arms and located behind the river Tay. They arrived
late in the day and were very tired after a long march. They rested not
expecting the enemy before the next day. The Norsemen crossed the river,
intending to take Scots by surprise and kill them in their sleep. They took off
their shoes so as to make the least noise. But one of the Norsemen stepped on a
thistle. The sudden and sharp pain he felt caused him to shriek. The alarm was
given in the Scots’ camp. They defeated the Norsemen and took the Thistle as
the national emblem for its unexpected help.
Student 3. We
can see the red right hand on the Irish coat of arms. Do you know why?
Student
6. The legend says that in the 8 th-10th centuries the
Vikings from Scandinavia were sailing by Ireland.
Two Viking chiefs
decided that one of them would become the king of Ireland. The one who would
first touch Irish soil would become King. They set off in their big boats. The
race was very even and each crew did everything to win the race. When they were
quite close to the shore Heremon O’Neil, that was the name of the Viking chief,
that became king, cut off his right hand and threw it on the land. It is due to
this that the red right hand had been a part of the coat of arms of Ireland
ever since.
The
scene - a group of students.
Two
thousand years ago, in the year fifty five before our era…
Heavy clouds are over a stormy sea. Eighty Roman ships
are sailing on the grey waters
to the unknown land.
Julius Caesar is on the first galley,
surrounded by his centurions. All are looking at the distant shore. “By
Jupiter!” - says Julius Caesar, is
that a cloud in front or a mountain covered with snow? “Where?
Over there?” “Oh,”
- says one of
the centurions, «Those
are cliffs, I can see them very well». - “Yes,
they are cliffs- and they are white.”
-
- “Yes, they are cliffs- and they are white.”
-
“The land behind them must be white,
too.”
-
“It is a White Land,” exclaims Julius Caesar. “We
shall call it Albion.”
-
“Albion, Albion!”
shouted the others. Alba in Latin means white, and the name Albion remains to
this day.
Student
3.
The
Romans came to a small settlement named Llyndin(which means a
lonely port) on the banks of the river Thames. Britain was conquered and for
400 years remained a Roman province.
Student 1. Look at this female figure. Do you know its name?
(Students’ answers)
Britannia
is an ancient term for Roman Britain. Britannia is usually shown sitting down,
wearing a helmet and holding a trident. Next to her feet she has a shield with
the design of the British flag on it. Britannia was shown on some Roman coins.
Student

: In the fifth century the Romans left Britain, other
invaders came to the
British shores. The Saxon hordes and the Danes rushed to Londinium, conquered
the land and ruined the city. During nearly 400 years
Londinium lay in ruins, grass grew where the beautiful buildings
had been before, wild beasts walked on the good Roman
road.
In 1066 William the Duke of Normandy with a numerous
army landed in the south of England.
The battle between the Normans and the Anglo-Saxons took place on the 14-th of
October 1066 at a little village called
Hastings. The country came under the power of the new conquerors – the
Normans.
William the Conqueror:
Good afternoon, respected public!
Let me
introduce myself. I‘m William the Conqueror. The strongest and the mightiest
force is my main weapon. I defeated Harold honestly.
That’s why I must be the king. We, Normans, are
better educated and we’ll make this country civilised.
Student 2: In the second
half of the 15-th century Civil War began in England. It was the Wars of Roses
between two parts of the English royal family. One family was called Lancaster
and was represented by a red rose, and the other was called York and was
represented by a white rose. Each one wanted its own leader to be king. Henry
Tudor defeated and killed Richard III at Bosworth Field on 22, 1485 and brought
the House of Tudors to power.
Student 1: What other ruling houses of Great Britain
do you know? (The students’ answers) (the House of Plantagenot (1216-1399),
the House of Lancaster(1399-1461), the House of York (1483-1487), the House of
Tudor (1485-1603), the House of Stuart (1603-1714), the House of Hanover
(1714-1901).
Student 3:
The most
well-known monarchs of England were Henry VIII and Elizabeth his daughter.
-
In
the 16-th century the monarchy was stronger than ever before. The Tudors
established peace throughout England. It was ruled by mighty Monarchs
at first Henry VIII and then Elizabeth I. Henry VIII( 1491-1547) became the
king of England and Ireland on the 22 of April 1509. In his youth he was athletic and highly intelligent. A
contemporary observer described him thus: “he speaks good French, Latin and
Spanish,
he
is very religious. He is extremely fond of hunting. He is also fond of tennis.”
His interests included writing both books and music. He was a player of many
instruments and a composer. Henry VIII was a patron of arts. He was a clever
ruler. He invested
in the Navy and increased its size from 5 to 53 ships.
Henry’s policy led to the formation of the Church of England.
Student 4:The
reign of Queen Elizabeth I is often referred to as “the Golden
Age of English history. She is still one of the best
loved monarchs and one of the
most admired rulers of all time. Elizabeth was the daughter of king Henry VIII.
“I may not be a lion, but I am a lion’s cub, and
I have a lion’s heart” she said. As a child Elizabeth was given a very
impressive education. She
was taught by famous scholars and from an early age it was clear
that she was remarkably gifted. She had a talent for
languages and by adulthood she could speak five languages fluently. She loved
all kinds of sport, especially
horse riding and hunting. She loved music and
dancing, she could even play the lute with skill. She was dedicated to her
country. When she died England was one of the most
powerful countries in the world.

Student 2. But a tragic event happened in 1666, the
year after the Plague. This
story could be called the Great Fire of London.
3000 houses and at least 97 churches were destroyed
through a small bundle of wood. A young and careless Baker
left it at night near a very hot oven.
In a few hours big flames were seen along the narrow street.
All the houses, made of wood, soon were
burning like paper. There were a lot of pigeons in London. They didn’t want
to leave the burning houses and flew and flew about the windows and the roofs,
till they burned their
wings and fell down dead. The Lord Mayor of London with the noblemen came on the
scene, the soldiers were all mobilised, and the king ordered the houses around
the fire to be pulled down. Many hundreds of
houses were destroyed. Soon the wind changed, then stopped
blowing, then a heavy rain fell. London- what was left
of it- was saved. The
fire was very important for modern London, it cleared away the
Plague for ever.
And a new London,
a London of stone, with wider streets and better houses was built.
Student

Student 2. Yes,
these words belong to Admiral Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval leader. He
lost an arm and the sight in one eye during the wars against Napoleon. Nelson
became very popular after winning several important battles at sea. His most
famous battle was the battle at Trafalgar in 1805, in which he was killed.
After his death Trafalgar Square and Nelson’s Column were built to honour him.
Today we have spoken much about the history of Great
Britain and let’s finish our party with a popular national song called Rule, Britannia!
«Правь, Британия, морями!» (англ. «Rule, Britannia!») — патриотическая
песня Великобритании, написана по поэме Джеймса Томсона на музыку Томаса Арна в
1740.
Была написана к маскараду в доме Фредерика, принца Уэльского, который
покровительствовал обоим авторам.
"Rule, Britannia!"
is a British patriotic song, originating from the poem "Rule, Britannia" by James Thomson and set to music by
Thomas Arne in 1740. . It has become the unofficial national anthem
of the United Kingdom.
Известна, благодаря двухстрочному рефрену в конце каждой строфы, собственно
и давший имя песне:
Rule, Britannia! Rule the waves:
Britons never shall be slaves.
Перевод:
Правь, Британия! Британия, правь волнами:
Британцы никогда не будут рабами.
When Britain first, at Heaven\'s command
Arose from out the azure main;
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:
"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."
The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
"Rule,
Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never
will be slaves."
The results of the
competition.
