I. Beginning The Lesson..
1 Greeting.
2 Teacher introduces the students to the topic and main aims.
e.g. Our lesson is devoted to music and musical traditions and its title is ‘Face Music Everywhere’. We really can’t imagine our lives without music. It has always been the language people understood very easily. It has always reflected the spirit and the character of different nations and nationalities.
3. Warming Up.
e.g. On what occasions and in what situations do people listen to music?
What are the reasons for listening to it? /healing; relaxation; dancing; doing exercises to it, having fun, etc./
T: Today we are going to make an imaginary trip to the UK and Mari El and try to see what common musical traditions they have. Here you see the representatives of these countries. All of them are wearing their bright national clothes and have much to tell you about.
II.Presentation (Visiting Cards of Countries).
/ Each group of students introduces the class to the most interesting features of the chosen country /
Time: 1 min.
Features to speak about:
- flag or symbol and the legend connected with it;
- peculiar features;
- the most famous musicians; names of famous music festivals; etc.
e.g. We are from Wales. Our country’s name in our national language sounds like ’Cymru’. It means ‘the comrade’. We are sometimes called ‘Taffies’, because our pride is the River Taff flowing through Cardiff. Our patron saint is St. David and his feast day is 1 March, which is also the national holiday. On this day Welshmen wear either a daffodil or a leek pinned to their jackets, which are regarded as emblems of Wales. Our national flag represents a red dragon on a white-and-green field. We are proud of our poets (Thomas Dylan and Thomas Stuart), painters (Richard Wilson),explorers (Sir David Livingstone). Eisteddfod is well-known all over the world and we want to invite you to Wales saying: “Croeso i Cymru” which means “Welcome to Wales.”
