Ходурока

1. Beginning.

Good afternoon, boys and girls. Glad to see you. Take your seats, please. The theme of our lesson today is “Living things around us”. We’ll speak about flora and fauna of our planet Earth.

2. Phonetic drill.

But first let’s revise the tongue twister. Look at the board.

A big black bug bit a big black bear.

A big black bear bit a big black bug.

3. Vocabulary work. Crossword “Birds”.

I’d like to start our lesson with some riddles about birds. You will get cards with riddles. Answer them and write the answers into the crossword. Put down your names. Give me your crossword.

A bird which is black-and-white and which often takes to its nest small bright things.

(amagpie)

A small brown singing bird that lives in the field, has its nest in the grass and usually sings early in the morning. (a lark)

It is easy to teach these birds that live in South Africa, Australia and South America some words that people use. (a parrot)

A small bird that can sing better than any other. It usually sings at night. (anightingale)

A rather big black or grey bird that lives in cities, and in the Tower of London. (acrow)

A large beautiful white or sometimes black bird bigger than a duck, with a long neck that lives on rivers and lakes. (aswan)

A night bird with large eyes that eats mice and other small animals. (an owl)

(В выделенных клетках читается слово ostrich – страус)

4. Listening to the text “Ostriches”.

And here you see the name of a bird that lives in Australia and some other countries – ostrich. Listen to the text about it and say if sentences of ex.1 p.123 are true or false.

Ostriches are the biggest birds on our planet. Though they have wings, ostriches cannot fly. But they can run. They run so fast with their speed about 70 km/h that horses can’t reach them. Some people may think that ostriches eat only grass, but they are wrong. When ostriches are very hungry they can eat even lizards and snakes and even stones. These birds really like bathing in rivers very much and they are not afraid to get wet.. Not long ago ostriches lived only in the wild in Australia, South America and Africa, but people learned to domesticate them and now ostriches live on farms in many countries including Russia.

Ostriches have no wings.

Ostriches can run as fast as horses.

Ostriches live in Asia, Africa and South America.

Ostriches hate water because they can get themselves wet.

Ostriches eat only plants and nothing else.

Ostriches live only in the wild.

Not everything that people believe about ostriches is true.

Now listen to the text once again and try to retell it as if you work at an ostrich farm as a guide.

5. Game «What am I? »

Fauna is represented not only by birds but by animals. We know that animals are divided into wild and domestic.

Name domestic animals. How do they help people?

Which wild animals are exotic for our country?

And now imagine that you are an animal.

What animal would you like to be? Who are you ?

6. Vocabulary work. English sayings.

Match the two columns and you’ll get some English sayings. Find the Russian equivalents. I hope the pictures will help you to do the work as quick as you can.

7. Flora. The Symbols of the countries. Pair work.

We’ve spoken about fauna. And what is flora represented by?

Here you see some trees and flowers. They are associated with different countries. What countries are they symbols of? (maple leaf – Canada, red rose – England, yellow daffodil – Wales, thistle – Scotland, shamrock – Ireland, birch – Russia, chrysanthemum – Japan)

When people want to congratulate each other they give flowers. Now look at these pictures. You see different sorts of flowers here. Which of them are wild? And are there any house plants?

8. Presentation of projects.

At home you made a project about Flowers. Please, present it!

9. Sum up.

I think that now you know much about living things around us. They play a very important part in our life and it is always interesting to speak about flora and fauna. Thank you for your projects.

Look at these pictures and compare them.

Would you like to live on such a planet?

We cannot live without water, air, plants and animals.

What must we do to save our planet clean and beautiful?

Imagine that you are a member of an ecological club. Think of some its rules and write them down.

Let’s finish our lesson with a song “Everything at once”.

10. Homework Ex. 4, 5, p. 7 WB.

Thank you for your work. You were so active, attentive and confident. The lesson is over.

Good-bye.
