“COUNTRY CALENDAR”

- Good afternoon! We are glad to see you. Today we would like to tell you about the most popular British holidays such as St. Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas and Halloween. Let’s start from the most romantic holiday St. Valentine's Day.

A waltz is being performed.

– ST. VALENTINE'S DAY is celebrated on February 14. Every St. Valentine's Day thousands of people travel to a small village on Scotland's border with England to get married. The village is called Gretna Green. It was the first stop across the border. Many young couples came to Gretna Green to get married there.

– Nowadays, in this place, at least one couple gets married every day of the year. On this day boys and girls, sweethearts, husbands and wives, friends and neighbors exchange greetings of affection and love. People send each other greeting cards, chocolates and flowers. Valentine's cards are very colorful, with a couple of human hearts on them.

One of the best presents on St. Valentine's Day are flowers. Let’s listen to the poem “Flowers”.

FLOWERS

I like flowers that are bright,

I like flowers that are white,

I like flowers with a nice smell,

That blossom in gardens so well

On this day women get not only flowers but compliments, too. We want you to take part in the competition of compliments. Tell your partner some nice words. As soon as you do it take a step to your partner. Don't repeat the same words. The winners are the partners who meet first.

Summing up the results of the competition and presenting sweet prizes.

The holiday which all people love very much is EASTER.

– Easter is one of the famous and favorite holidays. In England everyone presents each other with Easter eggs which are the most popular emblem of Easter painting egg-shells is an old custom and painted eggs always decorate breakfast tables on Easter days. Easter eggs are usually made of chocolate. Nowadays they are often artificial.

– There are some Easter games. For example: sometimes Easter eggs are hidden about the house for the children and they must find them.

Every year London greets the spring with Easter Parade which took place for the first time in 1958 and since that time it has become a traditional religious festival.

– The parade passes the royal palace through the streets of the city. I wonder what the royals eat for breakfast? Are they really chocolate eggs?

– No. The famous English writer, author of fairy tales about Winnie the Pooh, Alexander Milne, tells us about this in his poem. And to the question “What do royalty eat for breakfast?” you can answer by watching the skit.

Scene

The King asked

The Queen: "Could we have some butter for

The Royal slice of bread?" and

The Queen asked

The Dairymaid:

"Could we have some butter for

"The Royal slice of bread?"

The Dairymaid

Said: "Certainly,

I"ll go and tell

The Cow

Before she goes to bed"

The Dairymaid

She curtsied

And went and told

The Aldermen

"Don't forget the butter for

The Royal slice of bread"

The Aldermen

Said sleepily:

You'd better tell

Miss Majesty

That many people nowadays

Like marmalade

Instead."

– So what do the king and queen like for breakfast?

CHRISTMAS

– It seems to me that the life of a king and queen– a complete fairy tale. What a holiday– the most magical?

– Well, of course it's Christmas! Just imagine a quiet winter night. The stars and moon appear in the dark sky, Christmas trees are lit in the houses, the trees are covered with sparkling snow, Christmas is approaching. Night. Everything around froze in anticipation of a miracle.

Christmas day is the most popular holiday. It is celebrated on December 25. People try to be with their families on that day. They make or buy Christmas cards and send them to their friends, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. They decorate the Christmas tree with colored lights and toys. On this day many people go to churches, eat a Christmas dinner of roast turkey and Christmas pudding. Many people watch the Queen's Christmas broadcast on TV. One of the most important Christmas traditions is giving presents. Family members wrap up their gifts and leave them at the bottom of the Christmas tree to be found on Christmas morning. People say that at night Father Christmas puts presents into the stockings, which children usually hang on their beds. This day is a traditional day for meeting relatives and a special day for children.

Let's listen to the rhyme about winter.

WINTER

It's winter now, so bundle up light!

Warm mittens and caps will be just right.

Ice on the lake, snow on the ground,

Time to ski and skate all round.

Winter, spring, summer, fall-

I like winter best of all.

There are many symbols of X-mas. They create beautiful atmosphere in our houses. You are to choose those things (dishes, decorations, symbols). We shall have 2 teams, each containing 5 boys and girls.

Now let’s sing a popular English song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”.

HALLOWEEN

– On the 31st of October in GB there is a nice holiday for children Halloween. It isn't an official holiday. but it is a very special day. People put pumpkins on the window-sills. They draw eyes. noses and mouths on the pumpkins and put candles into them. So the pumpkins look like a face.

Children dress in fancy costumes as witches, ghosts, or characters from TV programs, and so on. The windows of many houses are brightly decorated on Halloween. In the evening groups of children go from house to house, knock at the doors and say "Trick or treat"(Which means "if you don"t treat us to something tasty, we shall play a trick on you"). People give them sweets, fruits, cakes or money.

This is a nice, funny and "tasty" holiday, isn't it?

– And now let's play the game.

Dynamic game

Pass the witch's broomstick

Round and round the room,

While the music's playing

Quickly pass the broom.

Everyone is out

Who the broomstick drops,

And the one who has it

When the music stops.

We hope it was interesting for you and you have learned something new and had a good time.

WALT DISNEY AND HIS HEROES

Walt Disney was born Chicago, his father being Irish Canadian, his mother of German-American origin. He revealed a talent for drawing and an interest in photography early on and after service with the American Roy Cross in the First World War. In 1923 he left with his brother Roy for Hollywood and for some years struggling against poverty while producing a series of cartoon films. In 1927 he had some success with the series called "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit", but it was not until September 1928, when "Steamboat Willie" appeared, the first "Mickey Mouse" with sound, that he achieved lasting success. Mickey Mouse became a household word together with such companions as Minnie, Pluto, and – perhaps the favorite of them all – Donald Duck.

"The Three Little Pigs" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", with their still familiar songs by Frank Churchill, immediately spring to mind. After the Second World War Disney turned his attention to real-life nature studies and non-cartoon films with living actors. After a rather unsuccessful feature cartoon "The Sleeping Beauty", he made a triumphant come-back with the very successful "Mary Poppins".

In 1955 he branched out into a different enterprise – “Disneyland”, a huge amusement park in southern California. Disneyland is located 27 miles south of Los Angeles, at Anaheim. Of all the show-places none is as famous as Disneyland. This superb kingdom of fantasy linked to technology was created by Walt Disney.

The park is divided into six themes and there is so much to see and do in each that no one would attempt to see all of them in one visit. For extended visits, there are hotels nearby.

Walt Disney died in California at the age of 65. His works have given so much pleasure for many years to many people, young and old, in many countries.

Questions:

1. Where was Walt Disney born?

2. What were his first hobbies?

3. When did he leave for Hollywood?

4. When did Walt Disney have his first success?

5. What are the most popular Disney heroes?

6. What are his most famous cartoons?

7. What is "Disneyland"?

8. Where is it located?

Task 4.

You are to make up a story. I have the first and the last sentences – the beginning and the end of it. You have 6 minutes.

Summarizing. Winner's reward ceremony.

EXTRA-CLASSROOM ACTIVITY

ROLE-PLAYING GAME

“A Teacher + A Student =?”

Prepared and conducted by teachers: Varlamova I.E.

2008

Extracurricular activity “Role play A Teacher + A Student =?”

Goal: to stimulate cognitive interest in issues of interpersonal communication, social self-identification of the student’s personality, which is an important component of the communication process in the educational process.

Progress of the game:

The game involves 2 subgroups: 3rd year students (team of “students”) and 4th year students (team of “teachers”) of the “Foreign Languages” department.

Compere: You know how important it is to concentrate on relations between students and teachers and create a suitable atmosphere in class. Looking at students as colleagues is of principal importance for every teacher. Respect for them is a must. We hope that being taught in an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation will help them in the future to communicate with everyone easily and feel responsibility for their actions and words. Love for children and warm relationships with them are important to themselves. This is something we should discuss with the students all the time. So, the title of the role play is “A Teacher + a Student =?”. At the end of the game we are to give an answer to this question. Two teams participate in the game – the team of the teachers and the team of the students. As the 4 th year students have already had some experience at school they are to take the role of teachers, so the 3d year students are to be themselves, students. To warm up I suggest that you answer the following questions:

• If you were allowed to choose the subjects you want to study, what subjects would you prefer?
• If education required payment, for whose lessons would you pay the most?
• Who has the most pleasant voice among the teachers?
• Do you want your child to become a teacher?
• What is your favorite classroom in our college?
• With whom of the teachers would you like to spend 10 years on a desert island and why?
• Do you believe in superstitions before the exam?

Contest 1

Compere: Having listened to all your answers we have got an impression of each of you. So, it’s high time to begin the game. Each team should give an answer to the following questions:

A question to the teachers:

What student do you consider to be ideal?

A question to the students:

What teacher do you consider to be ideal?

You have some minutes at your disposal. The time is up. Teachers, please. (team of teachers gives answer with comments)

Now let’s listen to the opinions of the students.

These were the portraits of an ideal teacher and student.

Contest 2

Compere: The next task will be the following. You are to complete these phrases:

• I like to go to class when… (don’t forget your roles)
• I don’t like to go to class when…

(Both teams give four answers to each question)

Compere: I suppose teachers and students should take each other’s feelings into consideration.

Contest 3

Compere: Here you should show your creativity and make a dictionary from the teachers and the students giving the five most popular questions and answers in their vocabulary.

Now let’s compare teachers’ vocabulary and students’ one. You should take turns asking questions and your opponents should give answers if they have got such questions. Be attentive and don’t repeat the questions that were mentioned. Now we see what questions and answers are the most popular among the teachers and students. As for the questions that were not answered you are to ask the audience and give your own variant.

Contest 4

Compere: Here is a list of positive characteristics of teachers and students. Look through them and make a portrait of a typical teacher and student. Name the five most important character traits (of a teacher and a student).

And here is a list of negative features. Choose five features which teachers and students should get rid of.

Positive features:

Industrious, kind, strict, alert, brave, responsible, punctual, polite, patient, a sense of humour, social, communicative, highly educated

Negative features:

Lazy, rude, angry, envious, untruthful, bossy, violent, inpatient, selfish, careless, arrogant, a lack of personal discipline, a lack of will

Contest 5

Compere: During this contest we’ll see how imaginative you are. Give new names to the following subjects:

English

Physical Education

Information Technology

Russian

Mathematics

History

Biology

Literature

You have 5 minutes at your disposal. Then you should take turns giving new names to the subjects and the other team should guess what subject it is.

Contest 6

Compere: As you know conflict is a part of everyday life. And we should confess that there are educational conflicts concerning relationships between teachers and students. There are various ways of solving conflicts; according to scientific research the most popular of them are dialogue, making a compromise, having a conversation, and reconciliation. Today you are to find a way out of the given conflicts which may take place during any lesson at any time. Listen to them carefully.

Situation 1.

Situation 2.

Situation 3.

You are a teacher. Marks not given by you happen to appear in the class register. What would you do in that situation?

Compere: The last contest is a question. What word can we use instead of a question mark in the phrase “A teacher + a student is ...? (cooperation, friendship, understanding...).

You are right. A truly experienced and highly qualified teacher is able to transform lessons into fruitful, creative cooperation with students.

Now our game came to the end and we hope that you’ve understood how it’s important to treat people around you as you want to be treated.

Situation 1.

Having opened the door and seen funny expressions on the children’s faces, the teacher stopped in the door of the classroom. The class was eagerly awaiting his next action. “What will happen?” the teacher shifted his gaze to the blackboard – the diagram was up-side down. What should the teacher do in this situation. (Variants: to explain the new material using the diagram turned up-side down and then start to question the children. Let the children try to repeat the material by the diagram.)

Situation 2.

A new teacher entered the classroom. At first she thought that there was nobody in the room, but it turned out that the pupils had hidden themselves under their desks. Paying no attention to this, the teacher introduced herself and began the lesson. In several minutes when the teacher turned aside she saw that some pupils were sitting at their desks. “Who allowed you to sit at the desks?” the teacher asked irritably. After the teacher’s question the children got back under their desks. Was the teacher right?

(3 slide) - Do you have any idea why Englishmen drink tea at exactly this time of the day?

(4-6 slide) -This tradition dates back to 1840 and appeared thanks to Anna Maria Stanhope, Duchess of Bedford, who was the maid of honor of Queen Victoria. The fact is that during the 18th century a supper was put off for a later time until the beginning of the 19th century, and it ended up to be served at 7 and 8.30 pm. The additional meal between breakfast and dinner was lunch. But there was no other meal for a long period of time before supper that people felt very hungry.

Would you care to sit with me
For a cup of English tea?
Very twee, very me
Any sunny morning
What a pleasure it would be
Chatting so delightfully
Nanny bakes fairy cakes
Every Sunday morning
Miles of miles of English garden
Stretching past the willow tree
Lines of hollyhocks and roses
Listen most attentive

Let's sing along! (Everyone sings a song together)
