Ход урока

1. Орг.момент.

Teacher: Dear friends! Nice to see you. Today we are going to have a lesson-concert "The Beatles Forever". Our students will perform their 10 favourite songs by the Beatles. The fact is that singing the "Beatles" is a hobby for our students and it is already a traditional at parties. These songs are beautiful, so it will be useful and interesting for you to listen to them, to sing the songs with us.

P1: Dear guests! Look at the blackboard! Here you can see photos, postcards, pictures, posters, devoted to the "Beatles". The drawings are made by our hands. So, you see we are fond of singing and drawing as well. We also collect books about the "Beatles".

P2: For us the "Beatles" are forever ! The "Beatles" unite the people of different generations and different ages, because their music is wonderful, kind and exciting.

2. Развитие навыков произношения и аудирования.

Teacher: We'll start our lesson with the song "Hey, Jude". It is devoted to John Lennon's elder son Julian Lennon who is also a musician. This is my favourite song and I used to sing it when I was a student.

P1-P4 (singing):

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let get into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder

Teacher: John Lennon's song "Norwegian Wood" is a real surprise for you thanks to its unusual melody and surrealistic rhymes. The main character is in despair because of his girl's leaving.

P1, P2 (singing):

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...
She showed me her room, isn't it good, Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed"

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norwegian wood?

Teacher: The song "Because" is very lyrical and gentle. It is one of John Lennon's compositions, made by him when Joko Ono (his wife) was playing the piano from Betchoven.

P1, P2 (singing):

Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high......aaaaaaaahhhh
Love is all, love is new

Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue.......aaaaaaaahhhh
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh....

Teacher: The song "Yellow Submarine" is very popular thanks to the cartoon film "Yellow Submarine" in which the Beatles fight against the pointed monsters with the help of their music, love and justice.

P1- P9 (singing):

In the town where I was born

Lived a man who sailed to sea

And he told us of his life

In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun

Till we found the sea of green

And we lived beneath the waves

In our yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine (3).

And our friends are all on board

Many more of them live next door

And the band begins to play

We all live in our yellow submarine (3).

As we live a life of ease

Everyone of us has all we need

Sky of blue and sea of green

In our yellow submarine.

We all live in our yellow submarine (3).

Teacher: The popular song "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney is a lyrical ballad. It is performed in thousand versions by other singers and became the national pride of the English people.

P10 (singing):

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm.

Teacher: A splendid song "When I am 64" is made in the style of marriage advertisement, when the young couple ask questions to each other. We want to show you our version of this song. It's devoted to Paul McCartney's parents.

P10-P15 (singing):

When I get older losing my hair, Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
You'll be older too, and it you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be hardy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fire side
Sunday mornings go for a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

Teacher: The composition by George Harrison "While my guitar gently weeps" is the best in the Album "The Beatles".

P1, P2 (singing):

I look at you and see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps.

Teacher: John Lennon's song "In my Life" is about his youth in Liverpool and it sounds so nostalgically.

P1, P2 (singing):

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone, but some remain.
All these places had their moments,
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living In my life

I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning.

When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life, I'll love you more .

Teacher: The whole world was shattered by the tragic death of John Lennon in 1980 and the lost of a remarkable man, but he left behind the great heritage.

P1, P2 (singing):

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us only sky.

Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine, there's no countries
It isn't hard to do.

Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man.

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

Teacher: So, he was killed in front of his house in New York, but his songs are alive and now we all want to sing "All Together Now".

All pupils (singing):

One, two, three, four,
Can I have a little more ?
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
I love you.

A, B, C, D,
Can I bring my friends to tea?
E, F, G, H, I, J,
I love you.

Bom, bom, bom, bom,
Sail of the ship

Job of the trip

Skip the rope

Look at me

All together now (5)

Black, white, green, red
Can I take my friend to Fred ?
Pink, brown, yellow, orange, blue
Jane, I love you.

Bom, bom, bom, bom

Sail of the ship
Job of the trip
Skip the rope
Look at me
All together now (5)
