Ход
подготовки проекта:
Урок подготовлен и проведен с использованием УМК Кузовлева
В.П. Это заключительный урок по разделу 2 “Western Democracies.
Are
They
Democratic?”, который по решению ребят мы должны были провести
неординарно, поэтому ему предшествовала большая подготовительная работа. Класс
разделился на несколько групп, каждая из которых отвечала за свой этап урока.
Первая группа отвечала за монтирование видеоматериалов к
уроку. Решено было начало урока представить в виде программы «Новости»,
озвученной на английском языке. Итоги урока тоже подводились в программе
«Новости» в выступлении Путина В.В., также смонтированного на английском языке.
В нее входило 3 человека.
Вторая группа непосредственно отвечала за проект “An Ideal State System”.
В нее входило 6 человек.
Остальные готовили сообщения о политическом устройстве США,
Великобритании, Австралии, России.
Третья группа, оформительская, состояла из 2 человек. В их
задачи входило подготовить все необходимые плакаты, схемы и т. д. к уроку.
Одна ученица подготовила доклад о премьер-министре
Великобритании.
Другая ученица готовила ролевую игру «Выборы президента». Она
отобрала трех представителей, которые должны были баллотироваться в президенты
и представить свою предвыборную программу.
По временным рамкам мы не укладывались в урок, поэтому мы
попросили диспетчера поставить в этот день пару.

Teacher:
Is the mother democratical?
Pupils:
No, she isn’t.
IV
Teacher: The idea of democracy plays
a great role in politics. What does “democracy” mean? Many people think that
democracy is when people do what they want. Are they right?
Pupil 1: No, democracy is when people do what they want within the
framework of law.

Teacher: We need all these
words to speak about political structures of the English-speaking countries,
such as Great Britain, the USA, Australia and of our Motherland, of course. I
want you to tell us everything you know on these topics. And you are to take
any of these cards to choose the country you’ll speak about. These schemes will
help you. Who wants to be the first? Listen and be ready to add the missing
information.
I. CША (рассказ ученика)
II. Великобритания (рассказ
ученика)
III.Австралия (рассказ ученика)
Teacher:
So you’ve learned a lot about the
policy of the English-speaking countries. And now listen to the dialogue
between two girls, guess what country Kate has visited and say what information
helps you to understand it.
(запись диалога с.58-59)
Pupil 1: Kate has been in the USA because the Senate and the
House of Representatives are the legislative branch of the USA political
system.
IV. Russia (рассказ ученика)
Teacher: Now long ago we celebrated
the anniversity of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. When was it
adopted?
Pupil: It was adopted on
December, 12 1993.
Teacher: It establishes the basic rights. What rights are guaranteed by
the Constitution of the Russian Federation? Will you restore some of its
articles. (AB Ex.10, p.27). You know that in official documents the verb shall
is used. (книжка со статьями Конституции)
Teacher: And when is the Constitution
Day of Bashkortostan?
Pupil: It is on the 24th
of December.
VII
Teacher: I am sure that you know our
politicians well. Try to guess whose voice it is. Say what he is.
(запись голосов политиков)
Teacher: Politicians play a great
role in their countries and even in the world. To get to know the name of one
of the most respected and devoted British politician you should do the
crossword. Ex. 6(2), p. 24-25. AB.
Pupil 1, read the first sentence. Write the word “Commons” here and spell it,
please.

Pupil: Churchill was the British
Prime Minister.

Teacher: And who is the British
Prime Minister now?
Pupil: Tony Blair.

him for you. Listen to her, please.
Pupil: Anthony Charles Lynton Blair
was born on the 6th of May 1953 to a wealthy family. He went to a
prestige school in Edinburgh and then to Oxford where he was reading law in
1972-1975.
He has 3 young teenage children whose company he enjoys, and a baby son. His
wife, Cherie Booth, whom he married in 1980, is a lawyer and earns much more
than Tony Blair ever has.
The future of the monarchy is a disputable question in Britain. What does Tony
Blair think about it?
Tony Blair doesn’t see Britain without the monarchy. Some people don’t like
this point of view, they think that the leader of the Democratic Party should
be in the opposition to the monarchy.
To sum it up: Born to a secure professional family , T.Blair is well-educated,
handsome, followed his father’s choice of law as a career, is secure in his
wife and 4 children, commands a joint income of over
S
500,000, is outgoing in nature, balanced, quick on the uptake, earnest and
serious.
In an interview before the 1997 election he said, “Yes, I do want to get
elected, and will fight very hard to make sure that we do – but it is for a
purpose”.
Now, agree or disagree
-
Tony Blair was born in a poor
family.
-
He has got 4 children.
-
His wife is a doctor.
-
Tony Blair sees Britain without
the monarchy.
-
He is the leader of the Labour
Party.
Thank you.

Teacher: Some people think that in
politics much depends on the personality of a politician. Which traits are
positive and which are negative for a politician in your opinion? Open your
activity books at page 23 Ex.6(1) and choose the words meaning positive traits.
Pupil 1: I think a politician should
be power loving. He should have a will to win and a wish to have power.
Pupil 2: To my mind a politician should be gifted. Any politician who
wants to win should be a real personality. No image-maker can help a person who
is nothing. It is impossible to improve “nothing”. Image-makers and advisors
can add only 15-20 % to the image of a politician.
Pupil 3: I am sure that a politician should have an ability to risk and
to love risking if he wants to win. He should be able to take non-traditional
decisions.
Pupil 4: In my opinion a politician should be ambitions. He should use
power for improving the situation in the country.
Pupil 5: I believe a politician should be pliable. A politician who
follows one and the same strategic line and doesn’t revise his/her ideas won’t
live a long life in politics.
Teacher: And which traits are negative for a politician?
Pupil 6: A politician shouldn’t be hypocritical.
Pupil 7: He shouldn’t be cunning.
Pupil 8: He or she shouldn’t be deceitful.
X
Teacher: You are quite right. Thank
you.
Unfortunatily young people often think that politics is
for adults. But very soon you’ll turn 18 and you’ll have to make a choice.
Let’s try to rehease now. 3 of you are politicians who contest the election.
They will tell us their political ideas and we’ll elect one of them. Listen to
interviews with them.
Pupil: Hi! My name is Nina. We have 3 candidates for the President. Let
me introduce you the only woman Miss Brown. Hello!
Mrs Brown: Hello, everybody! My name is Elizabeth Brown.
Nina: What party do you present?
Mrs Brown: I am the leader of the
Women’s Party and I am sure that it is only a woman who can rule the country in
the proper way.
Nina: Why is it a woman?
Mrs Brown: Yes, it is a woman who
gives a birth to a child and I’ll be the very president who will give a birth
to a new country– country
without
war , mother’s tears and children’s cry.Give your votes to me and you life will
be better and happier.
Nina: Are you sure in it?
Mrs Brown: Yes, I am quite sure.
Nina: Thank you. And now I’d like to speak to the next candidate. Hello!
Will you introduce yourself?
Mr Green: How do you do? I am John Green. I am an economist.
Nina: Why do you want to be the head of our state?
Mr Green: I want to be the head of our state because I am eager to
improve the situation in our country and to achieve definite aims.
Nina: For example?
Mr Green: For example, to rise the minimum of living for our citizens,
to provide free education and medical sezvice, to give people a chance to get a
job and to be well paid for their work.
Nina: What do you think of terrorism?
Mr Green: I am against of terrorism of any kind. And I think people of
the world must get together to fight against terrorists. I believe that
positive ideas will win and we’ll be able to build our future ourselves if we
are together.
Nina: Thank you very much. Hi! What’s your name? What would you like to
tell to our people?
Mr Black: Hi! Mr Black is glad to see you! I hope so you are!
Well,
it’s obvious that our country needs the head strong enough to stand against the
world and local terrorists, to keep the country’s borders safe and not to allow
foreign bussinessmen use our country as a source of their richness.
Nina: What’s your occupation?
Mr Black: I am a former officer, I am experienced in giving orders to
people and in taking decisions. To my mind I am worth your trust and your
choice.
Nina: Thanks a lot. Well now it’s high time to make a choice.
( музыкальное сопровождение пока голосуют)
Nina: While they are counting your
voices will you explain your choice.
Pupil 1: I’ve elected Mr Green because he wants to improve the situation
in the country.
Pupil 2: I’ve elected Mrs Brown because she is eloquent and
strong-willed.
Pupil 3: I prefer Mr Black for the President because he is a former
officer and that’s why he is disciplined, power-loving, risky.
Guest: I’m sympasize the ideas of Mr
Green.
Teacher: Now let’s see who has won the election.
Pupil: Mr Green has won the election. He has .......... votes .
........... people have chosen Mr Black. And only ...... of us give voices to
Mrs Brown.
XI
Teacher: In 1516 the brilliant English statesman, scholar and writer
Thomas More published the famous book “Utopia”. In it he describes an ideal
state. (показываю книгу)
We’ve
got a creative group. They have done a project where they explain their idea of
a perfect state.
Pupil 1: We’ve done a project “An Ideal State, as We Understand
It”. You know nothing can be perfect but we did our best.
Pupil 2: It was difficult for us to determine the political
system because 3 of us think that a presidential republic is more democratic
than a parliamentary monarchy. But the other 3 disagree. So we decided to
question different people.
(интервью на видео):
Pupil 3: Which system would
you advise us to choose?
Pupil: I dream of living in the time of queens and kings. So if it
depends on me, I’d like to have a king as the head of state.
Pupil 3: Thank you. Imagine that it is you who create the political
system of our state. What would you like: a monarchy or a republic?
Teacher 1: A republic, of course, it is more democratic.
Pupil 3: Thank you very much. You know Britain is a parliamentary
democracy with a constitutional monarch. Do you prefer it to a presidential
republic?
Teacher 2: No, to my mind the head of the state should be elected
directly by the people.
Pupil 3: Thanks a lot.
We’ve
asked 20 pupils, 10 teachers and 10 parents, put the information into the
computer and found that the majority prefers to live in a presidential
republic.
(идет заставка “B компьютерном кабинете”)
Pupil
4: Our next step was to create the
institutions that will represent the legislative, the executive and the
judicial branches of power
( идет видео ролик обсуждения проблемы )
Pupil 1: Have you got any idea about the institutions of
power?
Pupil 2: May I suggest the American
system of checks and balances?
Pupil 3: I absolutely agree.
Pupil 4: No, I don’t think that the US political system is perfect.
Pupil 5: What don’t you like in it? The 3 main branches of government
are separate from one another and the powers given to each are balanced by the
other two. I think it’s wise.
Pupil 6: I’m of the same opinion.
Pupil 1: To my mind the President should be elected by the people
but should have great power. He won’t do anything if he is controled by
everybody.
Pupil 2: But if his decisions will harm the country?
___________________________________________________________
Pupil 1: So the President is the head of our state and is elected
directly by the people. He has much power and is involved in the work of the
legislative and executive branches.
Pupil 2: Congress represents the
legislative branch and consists of 2 houses: the Senate and the House of
Representatives.
Pupil 3: The Constitutional and the Supreme Court control the
president’s power.
Pupil 4: The President appoints his Administration and Ministers, but
the Senate and the House of Representatives should approve his appointments.
Pupil 5: Nowadays many people avoid elections. That’s why voting in our
imaginary state is compulsory. Those who abstain from voting are fined as in
Australia.
Pupil 6: And to write
“Our Bill of Rights” we asked pupils to give their suggestions.
Pupil 1: Now let’s look at it (разворачивает бумажку). Well. “The government should do more to help jobless
people”
Pupil 2: I disagree. Every person must work. Jobless people are usually
those who don’t want to work.
Pupil 3: Imagine that you’ve graduated from the Pedagogical Institute
and want to work at school but there is no vacancy for you. What would you do
then?
Pupil 4: All right. Who thinks it will do?
(поднимают руки, голосуют, кроме Марселя)
Our Bill of Rights
-
All citizens have the right to education, to free medical servise, to a
qualified judicial help;
-
all citizens are eguol in law;
-
the people have the right to rule
the country through their representatives;
-
everyone must obey the law, even
the president;
-
freemen can’t be punished without
a fair trial in court;
-
the government should do more to
help jobless, old and homeless people;
-
the state should pretect
maternity, childhood and family.
Teacher: Your questions, please.
Pupil 1: What is the function of the
Congress?
Pupil 2: When do the people have the
right to vote?
Pupil 3: To help all jobless,
homeless, old, ill people and children the state must have enough money. Where
can it take it?
Teacher: Thank you for your work.
It’s high time to finish. Listen to the news again.

(Подведение итогов. Выступление Путина в «Новостях» )
Ведущий: Hello! Information Agency
continue to broadcast news from Birsk. Listen to what the Russian President
Vladimir Putin said:
Putin: “ I think that the problems which pupils of the 10th
form have discussed at their English lesson are of great importance for the
mankind nowadays. Because the policy within the country delermines sometimes
the international relationships. And they paid a lot of attention to the figure
of a modern politician, and it’s also very important. In 2 years they will
rule the country themselves. Our future depends on our young generation.”
Ведущий: That’s all
for today! Good-bye!
(музыкальная заставка «Новостей»)
Teacher:
What do you like most of all at our
today’s lesson?
Pupil 1: I like the election compaign. I understood that much
depends on the head of state.
Pupil 2: It was interesting for me to participate in making a project.
And it was difficult too because you should have imagination.
Pupil 3: Earlier I thought politics is dull, but now I think it’s very
interesting and important.
Teacher: It was pleasure for me to work with you. You’ve got excellent
marks, because everybody tried to do their best and was active. I would like
you to analyse our work in writing. Write what you like what don’t, write your
atlitude to the topic we’ve discussed, your suggestions, etc. Give your own
title to your composition. Our lesson is over.
Good-bye.
