Ход урока
1. Организация урока:
приветствие, сообщение темы и плана урока.
T: Good morning boys and girls! Today we are having a lesson on
the topic, which you are going to guess about after watching a short episode.
So, what do you think we are
going to speak about at our lesson? Yes, you are right about wonders of the
world. I know that you’ve already learnt something about it, so we will revise
it again and widen our knowledge about it. I hope our lesson will be
interesting and usеful.
The planet we live on is full of
wonders. We are going to talk about ancient, modern wonders and about wonders
of our country.
Warming up.
T. We will start our lesson with a
discussion on beauty around us.
What is the
most beautiful place you have seen?
Where is it?
Is it natural
or man made?
And now let’s find out what
the word “wonder “means?
(The possible answer: It is a
feeling of amazement and admiration, caused by something beautiful, remarkable,
or unfamiliar. Or : It is a person or thing regarded as very good, remarkable,
or effective:
What makes a wonder a wonder?
T: Think and tell why the wonders of the ancient world seem to
be concentrated around a particular region of the world.
(The possible answer: That was
the whole known world of that age.)
T: Why were only 7 masterpieces considered as wonders? Why not 5 or
6?
(The possible answer: The
number 7 was chosen because the Greeks believed it to be the symbol of
perfection and plenty. This number means “wisdom” and brings happiness).
2. Фонетическая зарядка. Фронтальная работа над
наиболее сложными словами и именами собственными.
T: The
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is a listing of notable objects built
between 3000 BC and AD 476. The practice of the seven wonders probably began in
Ancient Greece. The Ancient Romans also listed memorable things that travellers
should see. Through the years, many lists have been made, but all the lists of
ancient wonders included only objects MADE BY MAN and considered special
because of their GREAT SIZE.
Let’s revise the pronunciation
of Ancient wonders of the world.
The Pyramids ['pɪrəmɪd]
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon ['hæŋɪŋ gɑːd(ə)nz əv bæbɪlɔn]
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia ['stæʧuː əv zjuːs ət ə'lɪmpɪə]
The Colossus of Rhodes [kə'lɔsəs əv rəudz ]
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus [ˌmɔːsə'liːəm]
The Lighthouse at Alexandria ['laɪthaus ət ˌælɪg'zɑːndrɪə]
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus ['templ əv ˈɑːtɪmɪs ət
'efəsəs]
Now you are going to watch a
short video about 7 Ancient wonders of the world. Say how they disappeared and
what can still be seen. You have got sheets of paper with the tasks on your
desks. Look at task 1.
