Task (Задача - коммуникативно-ориентированная).

Your homework was to make reports about Russian Winter Festivals. Please, tell us about them.

Pupil 1(P 1): First of all I would like to tell you about the favourite holiday of Russian people. On the 31^st of December we always celebrate the New Year's Eve. And the 1^st of January is the New Year's Day.

The New Year holiday is very popular in our country, especially with children. In every house there is a fir-tree. The presents are supposed to be sent by Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. People usually see the New Year is sitting round a festive table. They are addressing New Year's greetings and good wishes to one another. They are raising their wine glasses filled with sparkling champagne.

This tradition goes back to an ancient time. In 1700 Peter the Great opening the window on the West ignored the old tradition and introduced the Julianian calendar that started with the approximate date of the birth of Jesus Christ. Peter ordered to celebrate the New Year on the 1^st of January. And since time we always celebrate this holiday on the 1^st of January.

Teacher:

What other winter festivals would you like to tell us?

P 2: As for me I like Christmas. And I tell you about this holiday. The Russian Christmas is celebrated on the 7^th of January. The holiday is connected with the wonderful birth of Jesus Christ as it is described in the Holy Bible.

On that day, about 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem .

When Jesus was born, wise men from the East came to worship him. They gave the Child presents-gold, frankincense and myrrh. That's why people nowadays try to please their friends and relatives giving them Christmas presents.

P 3:To my mind Christmas-tide is a very interesting period. It is from January the 7^th (Christmas) till January the 19^th (Epiphany). It was established by the Church in honour of the birth and baptism of Jesus Christ. At the period people used to walk wearing fances costumes and singing songs, they went from house to house giving and receiving gifts and treats.

P 4: And I want to tell you about Russian Shrovetide. It is the last Sunday before the Lent that proceeds Easter. It is celebrated as the Farewell-to-Winter Festival. On the day people have fun. They ride a troika, climb a pole for a gift.

Eating pancakes on that day is a pagan tradition. It is connected with glorifying the sun: pancakes are oval as the sun. Father Frost and Spring the Beauty are the main characters of the festival. In some regions people burn the figure of the Winter. On this day people say goodbye to

winter and welcome spring.

III. Беседа о русских традициях. (Задача- обмен мнениями). (приложение № 5)

T: Singing songs is an old tradition. Songs about winter are very popular, they are numerous. I want you to name them.(Обучающиеся называют песни ,прославляющие русскую зиму.)

And what is the most popular song about Russian Winter? (Учащиеся называют "В лесу родилась ёлочка" сл. Кудашевой, муз. Беркманса. Звучит мелодия данной песни).

And now I want you to give the main idea of this song very shortly.

P: This song tells us about a fir-tree. It was born in a deep wood. And in the wood grew tall. Than the fir to the party has come and brought joy to everyone.

T: And who remembers fairy-tales where Winter, Father Frost or Snow Maiden are main characters? Name them. Does anyone want to tell one of them in short?

"Twelve Months"
"Snow Maiden" etc.

Well done! (Обучающиеся называют сказки и кратко передают их содержание).

IV. T: Read the poem(ex.4 p.104). This is the way the Russian winter is described.

Neath lucid skies of cleanest asure
The winter's rich and duzzling
treasure,
Her gorgeous rugs of snow
are spread.
The wood is etched against them
darkly,
The firs, rime-starred, are green
and sparkling,
In shiny mail the stream is clad.

Do the tasks.

1) What epithets are used to describe winter?

2) Remember the original poem. Who is the author?

(Многие учащиеся узнают этот отрывок из стихотворения А.С.Пушкина "Зимнее утро").

Под голубыми небесами
Великолепными коврами,
Блестя на солнце, снег лежит;
Прозрачный лес один чернеет,
И ель сквозь иней зеленеет,
И речка подо льдом блестит.

T: And who knows brainstorm sayings and proverbs connected with Russian winter?

Example:

• Мороз не велик, да стоять не велит.

• Зима красна снегом, а осень хлебом.

• Сердита матка, да прикрыла деток до красного дня пуховым одеяльцем.

• Скатерть бела весь мир одела.

• Была белая да седая, пришла зелёная, молодая и т. д.

Well done! (Побеждает тот , кто за отведенное время назвал больше всех).

V. Teacher: Now I want to tell you some words in conclusion. Though different traditions and holidays people all over the world know some of them. They are Christmas, New Year, Easter. But we have also known to celebrate Shrovetide is a Russian tradition. Life is constantly changing in Russia. Some holidays have become history. New holidays have appeared. In spite of some of them are constantly.

Приложение № 5

A small fir seedling growing
Somewhere in the wood,
It was evergreen an' beautiful,
Its cheer was always good.
A lullaby was being sung
By whirling snowstorm,
The frost did never hurt the fir
For it was covered warm.
A frightened hare running by
Past little green fir tree,
A wicked fierce big grey wolf
Was hunting it to eat.
One day an old peasant man
Appeared in the wood.
He cut the best New Year tree,
He said: "This one is good!"
And now it's in the party hall
With garlands, candles lit,
With lots of sparkling stars and balls.
Let's dance around it!
