THANKSGIVING
Steps
of the lesson
Teacher: People all over the world like holidays. So dc
we. So do people in America. Today is a great holiday there, it's Thanksgiving.
But sometimes Americans are called a nation of immigrants. What is their
attitude to their customs, traditions and celebrations.
Pupil: Though American nation is so young and consists of so many
ethnic communities traditions and customs play a great part in a nation. They
believe they really are the nation though often called a nation of immigrants
except for the Indians perhaps.
Pupil: Technically there are no "national" holidays but most
of them are celebrated national. I the states observe federal public holidays.
There Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Christmas, New Year's Day and some
others. On these days school banks and all offices are closed.
Pupil: By the way when a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday it is usually
observed on the M lowing Monday or preceding Friday.
Teacher: But the most American of the holidays Thanksgiving.
Pupil: Of course, it's celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November,
today. This holiday commemorates the first hard year the Pilgrims lived in the New
World.
Pupil: And they've got a very good reason to celebrate this holiday
because when the English pilgrims first came to the New World they had a very
hard winter and it was questionable if most of them would survive.
Pupil: When they began planting seeds they had to struggle with the
rocky soil and bitter climate. Finally in the fall the fields produced a yield
beyond expectation. They couldn't have done it on their own.
Pupil: Thanksgiving also includes the native American Indians who
helped them and showed them how to use fish heads as fertilizers.
Teacher: So the Pilgrims had to overcome the
difficulties they met on their way. Can you give us the adjectives which
characterize them?
Pupil: They were courageous.
Pupil: Brave.
Pupil: Strong
Pupil: Naive because they believed they could
prosper in the unknown land
Pupil: They were superstitious.
Pupil: They were decisive.
Pupil: They were bigoted.
Teacher: Do you believe they were
superheroes?
Pupil: Yes, in my opinion they were superheroes they
stood that hard winter, they were friendly to Indians and owing to them a lot
of European people started to settle in America.
Pupil: I don't agree to it, the people we know as Pilgrims
have become so surrounded with legend that we tend to forget that they were
real people. They courageously made the famous 1620 voyage and founded the 1st
New England colony, but they were still ordinary English men arid women, not
superheroes.
Pupil: They were English people who sought, to escape
the religious controversies and economic problems of their time by emigrating
to America.
Teacher: What clothes wore typical of that time?
Pupil: The clothing brought by the Plymouth colonists was
typical of that worn by all English yeomen in the early XVII century. It was
fashioned from wool and linen cloth, with some leather.
Pupil: There was a much wider range of colours that
exists in the modem image including reds, yellows, purples and greens as well
as black and grey.
Pupil: Some of these colours had social significance
— black was indicative of solid respectability; blue was frequently worn by
children and servants and reddish-brown was a country-man's colour.
Teacher: Please, explain to us what you are wearing.
Pupil: I'm wearing a white blouse & a waist coat. My skirt is oing
and I have a white long apron on it.
Pupil: On my head I'm wearing a white cap which is called BIGGIN.
Pupil: Women of that time were wearing shoes with bright buckles and
without heels.
Teacher: The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621. Who were
parttakers of plenty?
Pupil: The "Mayflower" passengers participate in the 1621
Harvest Festival. The group included 16 men, 4 women, 23 children and 9 hired
seamen an servants. Only half of the number which left England
in 1620 lived through the first winter and man individuals were the only
survivors in their families.
Pupil: There were about 140 people at the 3 days celebration, 90
Indians and 50 British.
Teacher: There were about 140 people at the 3-days celebration. There
were only 4 adult women who survived that first winter. They probably oversaw
the cooking and preparations with the help of the children and servants.
Pupil: The feast included cod, sea bass, wild fowl (such as ducks,
geese, turkey and swans), corn meal and 5 clear brought by Indians.
Pupil: Meat fish and bread were the most important elements of the
English diet at that time, although fruit and herbs were also eaten.
Pupil: The meats were roasted or boiled in traditional English fashion
and fish boiled or grilled in the Indian manner.
Pupil: The pilgrims had a number of native & English fruits and
herbs. Native plants: walnuts, chestnuts, grapes, gooseberries, raspberries, wild cherries, ground
nuts, wild strawberries, beans, pumpkins, currents, wild onions.
Pupil: English plants: carrots, turnips, onions, cabbages, melons,
radishes beets.
Teacher: The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621. When did it
become a federal holiday?
Pupil: It became a federal holiday when Lincoln was President. He
issued a proclamation in 1863 declaring Thanksgiving a federal holiday. Today t
is a very much family holiday celebrated with big dinners and happy reunion.
Pupil: It is a time for families to get together or what is often
called a long weekend. Schools rid offices are closed, relatives from other
cities, students who have been away at school travel long distances to spend a
holiday at home.
Pupil: The traditional food is Thanksgiving turkey and pumpkin pie.
Teacher: You've told us that Thanksgiving turkey is a traditional food.
I'd like to read you one article written by President B.Franklin. "I wish
the eagle hadn't been chosen as the representative of our country. The turkey
is a much more respectable bird. Tastier too Trenches of wild turkeys were served
up at the first Thanksgiving feast and the over stuffed gobbler is still the
steaming emblem of America's heartiest holiday".
Teacher: We've got many guests today and one of them is
Sharon Baily. Gould you share your experience of celebrating Thanksgiving?
(Sharon tells the students about celebrating Thanksgiving in the USA)
Teacher. Have you got any questions to our guest?!
Pupil: Do you give any presents on Thanksgiving?
Sharon: No, it's only a great feast.
Teacher: As we know, it's the most family holiday in America,
& as our school belongs to English-speaking community in St-Petersburg,
let's celebrate it American way. I invite Sharon to help me.
(Sharon reeds a Thanksgiving prayer. All students are sitting at
the table and say their own Thanksgiving prayers).
