Stages

I. Introduction.

The objectives of the lesson.

Today we keep speaking about the family as one of the most essential values of people's life. Today we'll produce the mock-up of the magazine 'Happy Life'

We're going to discuss the materials submitted to the magazine and to prepare your materials for the presentation.

II. Warming-up activities.

People are becoming more aware of the importance of the family network. When the traditional family unit breaks down everything goes with it, but if you have parents, grandparents, the structure is more stable. The understanding of the importance of the family problems, demographic situation in our country is the cause why 2008 is announced as the Year of the Family in our country.

III. Phonetic activities.

When we think about our family it is usually associated with our household, the place where we live with our relatives.

Look at the blackboard. Here you can see some transcribed proverbs. Read them correctly and be careful about stress.

Home, sweet home!

East or West, home is best.

There's no place like home.

Put them down into your sheet paper.

Mr. McEwen narrated about his family home. Listen to his interview, fill in the gaps in the dialogue. Besides you should be ready to answer the question: 'What is Mr. McEwen's attitude to his house?'

mr mcewan Good evening.

journalist And is this your mother and father?

mr McEWAN Yes. My father was a teacher. When I was a boy, I was in his class at school. He had a good (6)____________, too.

5. heart problem (10) listen to the radio

1. What do you value in family relations most?

sharing (mutual) understanding protection trust

respect security comfort privacy

The family is considered to be one of the nature's masterpieces.

Every masterpiece is born in pain, so it would be a mistake to think that a happy family doesn't face any problems. Can you name them?

(Pupils name the problems: the lack of privacy, ….)

One of them is the misunderstanding between children and their parents, so-called 'generation gap'.

It is a well-known fact that at a certain age children tend to think that they are very different from their parents. Their parents' val­ues, behaviour are too old-fashioned. And children know better. However as a rule they owe their par­ents much more than they think they do. A famous writer once said: "When I was 20 I used to think "How stupid my father is". Now I am past 50, I keep thinking "How wise my father was".

Some teenagers dream to live on their own, to be independent.

And what do you think? Is it always good to be on your own?

To be on your own is bad because…

To be on your own is good because…

• There is nobody around you

• Nobody feels jealous of you

• Nobody is interested in you

• You have to run everything in your house

• Nobody wants to know what you are up to

• There is no lack of privacy

• You don't work for others like an unpaid slave

IV. Reading.

Teacher:

And now I'd like you to read a story about the complicated period in people's life - adolescence.

It'll be the expressive reading with the elements of dramatization.

1. Read the text, then put the sentences (a-1) in the logical order.

TEEN AGE

One day I walked down N. street. It was raining. I felt lonely. No sun, no green trees, no smiling faces. November was in my soul.

I saw a monument. I didn't know who the figure was. Frankly speaking, it mattered nothing to me. But I came across a crazy idea: to talk to him.

'Hi! I am as alone as you are.'

To my surprise he said: 'Hi!' I was shocked! I have never heard the voice of a monument.

'I see you are shocked. Don't you know that monuments can talk like people?'

'But why haven't people ever heard your voice?'

'Alas! People have never tried to talk to us. You think we are a mere mass of marble or bronze. I observe people and think a lot about them. They are passing by so fast, and nobody looks around! Have you ever looked at the sky? Have you ever seen the stars?'

'I'm sorry for the mankind. But in our practical world we suffer from a lack of time. We can't spend it on such stuff', I tried to explain.

'But then how cruel and selfish you are! In my first life (when I was a man) I was like you. I wanted to be at the top. All people wanted to be at the top! But I was the best!'

'Oh, I know who you are. You are Napoleon, aren't you?' I guessed.

'Foolish girl! You are so naive!'

'Stop! Don't forget that you are only a monument.'

'Sorry. You - people - are all quite the same.'

'Forgive me, please.'

The monument kept silent for several minutes and for those minutes I waited. Frankly speaking, I felt admiration talking to him. Then I said, "Hi, Mr. Napoleon! What are you thinking about?"

'Are you still here? I am thinking about eternal things. But why are you here? Your parents are worrying about you. They are waiting for you. Your mom has already cooked a tasty dinner, your dad is sitting and watching TV as usual; your brother is listening to his crazy music. They love you. Go home and don't disturb me!'

After his words I thought: 'Really, what am I doing here? Alone, in the rain? It's simply my dangerous age - teen age, as my mom says'.

Put the sentences (a-1) in the logical order.

a. Your parents are worrying about you.

b. To my surprise the monument began speaking.

c. What am I doing here?

d. November was in my soul.

e. How cruel and selfish you are!

f. A crazy idea came to my mind.

g. I observe people passing by.

h. I felt lonely.

i. It's simply my teen age.

j. They love you.

k. I'm thinking about eternal things.

1. It was raining.

Teacher:

So, it's not easy to make head or tail of oneself at this period. Youth is really a difficult time, isn't it?

Here is an exercise in which I believe we'll find some advice.

2. Read the text below. Use the word given in capitals at the end of each line to form a word that fits in the space in the same line.

RELAXATION:

Leisure

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare!

No time to stand beneath the boughs,

And stare as long as sheep and cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance

And watch her feet, how can they dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is, if full of care

We have no time to stand and stare.

W.H. Davies (1871 - 1940)

Editor-in-chief (Pi). Good day dear friends! Now we are to discuss all the materials submitted to the magazine "Happy Family"

Technical editor (T). We have got some articles for our MAGAZINE.

I give the floor to the Editorial group. They'll present the magazine's visual style.

Designer (P₄). The layout of the cover is ready! The cover will be blue. Besides, I'm going to include a lot of photos of different fami­lies.

Picture editor (P₅). As a picture editor, I have chosen some interesting pictures that could be used with this or that material. I think we are going to include some songs and poems for mothers and fathers.

Correspondent (P1) Here are some.

Technical editor (T). "Leisure time" Section

Correspondent (P2) There will be a song for mothers and a poem for grandmothers. And besides, it is necessary to include some material about, for example, American family holidays.

Correspondent (P₃) My article is about Father's day in America. This material is modern and interesting!

Technical editor (T). "Lifestyle" Section

Correspondent (P1)

Correspondent (P2) I'd like to propose my arti­cle about changes in family life of Britain. In recent years there have been many changes in family life of Britain. I think this material is very important.

Correspondent (P₃)

Technical editor (T). "Youngster" Section

Correspondent (P1)

Correspondent (P2)

Correspondent (P₃) We have a teenager's letter. This girl writes about her problems with the parents and sisters. And we've got a letter of advice in agony column.

Technical editor (T). So, I think, everything is ready for our magazine! Let's collect all the material together.

I'd like to say some words about our magazine "Happy family":

- On the first page there'll be the song for our dear mothers "More".

- On the second page you'll see the article about family values. The author of the article writes about eternal values: love, caring, re­spect.

- On the third page you'll read a teenager's letter. This letter is about generation gap in our country.

- And of course, we've got a letter of advice in agony column.

- Besides, you'll read a very interesting article about American family holidays.

Our magazine will be full of impressive photos and exciting pic­tures. So this magazine is worth reading,
