Хід уроку
Warm-up
1. Draw or stick weather pictures to the board: the pictures of the shining sun, falling raindrops, blowing wind, falling snow and clouds. Ask pupils to call out the weather words
2. Game “Flashcard charade”
Divide the class into groups of three or four. Give each group a flashcard (about weather), making sure that other groups don’t see it. Explain that children must think of a way to mime their flashcard. Give them a minute or two to prepare this. Each group then takes turns to do their mimes to the rest of the class and guess each other’s flashcards.
Presentation
3. Listen and repeat (p. 103, ex. 1).
Teach and then drill the new words using the pictures.
Read out the caption for each of the pictures in turn, while pupils listen and look at the pictures. Use board flashcards.
Pupils take turns to read out the words. Help with pronunciation.
Repeat with every pupil. If you have enough time, make sentences with every word.
4. Listen and read (p. 103, ex. 2).
Pre-reading: Ask pupils to look at the picture. Ask to describe the picture especially the weather.
Read the text. Ask pupils to read the sentences in silence after you. You can translate difficult sentences into the native language.
Pronounce the words clearly.
Do choral and individual repetition of difficult words. Follow the same procedure three or four times.
Then pupils read the text themselves in a chain.
While-reading: Ask the questions, “What season is it? What did the friends do? What games did they play? When? Why?”
Post-reading: Ask pupils to say what kind of the text it is and what is missing at the end of the letter.
Practice
5. Listen again and complete the sentences (p. 104, ex. 3).
Ask pupils to listen or to read the text of the e-mail letter again.
Then ask them to complete the sentences using the information from the text.
Ask some pupils to go to the board and write the sentences on the board. Other pupils write them into their copybooks.
Answers:
1. Winter came to Ukraine yesterday.
2. Taras wrote the e-mail to Bill.
3. He looked through the window in the morning.
4. He saw a beautiful picture outdoors.
5. Windows had beautiful snowflakes outside.
6. He made a funny snowman in front of the house and played snowballs with his friends.
7. They are going to sledge and ski in the park next weekend.
6. Listen and sing the song (p. 104, ex. 4).
Tell pupils to look at the picture on p. 104, ex. 4. Ask what they see. Pupils give different answers about the picture and about the people on it.
Tell pupils that they are going to learn the song about winter, winter activities and free time. Ask pupils to point to the things on the picture while they are going to read the lines.
Read the words of the song, pausing after each line. Pupils repeat the lines chorally and individually pointing to the time and mime the actions.
Sing the song chorally.
Mime the actions while singing the lines of the song again.
Reading and Writing
Pay the pupils’ attention to the Section ‘Remember’.
Before reading, write the sentences on the board. Read them. Underline the ‘ed’ ending. Do the same with ‘did’ and ‘did not’.
Pair work: Ask pupils to point to and read aloud the verbs ending in ‘-ed’ and without ending ‘-ed’. Pupils must find these words in the Section ‘Remember’ as well.
Explain that present means every day, and past means yesterday, or a time that has finished.
Pay pupils’ attention to the words ‘last’ and the short form ‘didn’t’.
7. Look at the picture and help Bill to answer his friend’s e-mail (p. 105, ex. 5).
If the class is not strong or you have not enough time, write the endings of the sentences on the board.
Ask pupils to match the beginnings of the sentences with suitable endings. Answers:
…your letter.
…snowy and windy outdoors.
…snowflakes.
…it is raining.
…a lot of puddles.
