Работу с учебниками и объяснение грамматики никто не отменял, но и их тоже хочется разнообразить чем-то необычным и веселым!

#Teachaholic предлагает 5 забавных и немного сумасшедших заданий, которые однозначно порадуют ваших учеников:

SCRIPTEASE

Это задание позволит студентам попробовать себя в роли сценаристов и актеров. Суть задания — одному или паре студентов необходимо создать диалог на основе нескольких готовых фраз, а затем разыграть его перед группой.

Группу можно разделить так, чтобы несколько пар работали с первым диалогом, а остальные – со вторым. Просмотрев и прослушав всех «актеров», не забудьте вместе с учениками проголосовать за самые креативные и артистичные пары.

CRAZY SCIENTISTS

Повторение слов по теме «Еда» и «Животные» может получиться очень непредсказуемым и забавным.

В зависимости от количества людей, студенты работают индивидуально или в парах.

Каждый участник или пара выбирает одну карточку с изображением животного и другую — с едой. Их главная задача – помочь животным избежать исчезновения, скрестив их с разными пищевыми продуктами и получить новый вид – foodimal .

Этот новый вид студентам необходимо нарисовать и придумать ему название (напр. mosquito+ toast = mosquitoast; bat+noodle=boodle). Далее ученики должны презентовать свое животное, рассказать о месте его обитания, чем он питается, кто его враги и как он приспособлен к выживанию на нашей планете.

Перед началом каждой презентации, дайте остальным ученикам возможность отгадать составляющие каждого фудимала. Поощряйте студентов задавать вопросы после каждой презентации.

QUESTIONS WITH A TWIST

Часто учителя сталкиваются с проблемой, когда ученики не слушают ответы своих одногруппников на вопрос учителя. Либо им не интересно, либо они сосредоточены на построении своих ответов.

Чтобы вовлечь каждого ученика, можно сделать задание более необычным. Это задание подойдет для практики герундия и инфинитива — тем, которые не всегда вызывают много энтузиазма у изучающих английский.

Каждый студент выбирает себе вопрос и отвечает на него – все просто. Уловка в том, что необходимо заменить ключевое слово или фразу в ответе на абсолютно другое, не относящееся к теме вопроса. Остальные студенты должны догадаться, о чем шла речь. Вы сами можете предложить ключевое слово (например, известные персонажи, такие как Santa Clause или Sponge Bob), которое все студенты будут использовать в своих ответах.

Предположим, студенту достался вопрос: What is something you ’ re pla n n ing to do soon?

Его ответ может выглядеть так: «I’m planning to find a new Sponge Bob. It’s challenging because there aren’t many Sponge Bobs that I’d like to do. I found my previous Sponge Bob on the Internet but it turned out to be low-paid and depressing. Now I’m looking for a Sponge Bob that can make me happy».

Как вы догадались, речь шла о работе, но Спанч Боб смог сделать этот рассказ особенным. Таким же способом можно ответить и на остальные вопросы.

Материалы : пустой лист

И еще одно задание, которое включает рисование! Оно отлично подойдет для повторения лексики связанной с одеждой, внешностью человека и частями тела.

Шаг 1. Выдайте каждому студенту чистый лист бумаги. Цель этого упражнения – общими силами нарисовать человека.

Шаг 2. Ученик начинает рисовать человека (начинаем рисунок с головы, затем шея, туловище и т.д.) Каждый студент рисует только одну часть тела.

Шаг 3. После каждого этапа студенты сворачивают лист так, чтобы скрыть ту часть тела, которую они нарисовали, и передают его дальше по часовой стрелке. Таким образом, каждый ученик привносит что-то свое, не видя общей картины. Напомните студентам, что каждого человека нужно рисовать в одежде и с аксессуарами, добавляя запоминающиеся черты к их внешности (усы, шрам, очки, татуировка и т.д.).

Проверяйте, чтобы все вовремя передавали друг другу рисунки. После последнего обмена, предложите студентам развернуть свои листочки и посмотреть на конечный результат.

Студенты низких уровней могут описать внешность и одежду человека на рисунке, который им достался. Высоким уровням можно усложнить задачу – пусть они используют свое воображение и расскажут личную информацию о Mr. X (имя, род деятельности, семейное положение, место проживания, хобби) и расскажут интересные факты из его жизни.

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO…

Настоящие актеры вкладывают в роли все свои эмоции и чувства, чем и займутся студенты на занятии, разыгрывая диалоги из известных фильмов.

Шаг 1. Для начала нужно выписать незнакомые слова со всех диалогов и разобрать их значение со студентами.

Шаг 2. Каждая пара выбирает диалог и знакомится с его содержанием.

Шаг 3. Теперь пришло время для чувств – все получают карточки с различными эмоциями, которые не всегда будут совпадать с тем, что происходит в диалоге. Задача студента – прочитать свои строчки диалога, используя только ту эмоцию, которая ему досталась.

Остальные попытаются отгадать фильм и персонажей, а также назвать эмоции, которые были переданы каждой парой. И конечно, самая экспрессивная пара заслуживает «Оскар» и аплодисменты зала!

Эти задания помогут вам сделать свои уроки веселыми и запоминающимися. Good luck!

Government

New Zealand is a sovereign, independent state and a member of the Commonwealth. Its form of government reflects its historical association with Great Britain.

New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy. The British monarch is the head of state, represented by the governor-general. As in Great Britain, the legislature is called the Parliament. In New Zealand, however, Parliament consists of only a single chamber, the House of Representatives. Its members are elected every three years.

There is universal suffrage for all citizens over the age of 18. In 1893 New Zealand became the first country to give women the right to vote. Elections are conducted on the party bases: the party gaining a majority of Parliamentary seats forms the government. There are 2 major parties: National and Labour. The Prime-minister, who, with appointed ministers, heads the formal Executive Council and the informal but influential Cabinet. The Parliament seats in Wellington in the building which is called The Beehive because of its form.

Executive power is vested in a governor-general, representing the crown, and a Cabinet and Prime-minister.

Executive action nominally is taken on behalf of the governor-general, who is appointed by the British Monarch. The governor-general usually works in concert with the Executive Council, which is composed of the governor-general, the Prime-minister, the ministers heading the various governmental departments.

New Zealand was among the first countries to adopt the secret ballot. The Prime-minister is the leader of the Party in power. Members of Parliament who belong to the party not in power are known as the opposition.

The Constitutional act was adopted in 1986. It defines the relationship between the legislative, executive and judicial roles of government.

Read these statements and decide which of them are True and which are False and tick (  ) one of the boxes to show whether the answer is true or false.

True

1) New Zealand is a colony of Great Britain

2) The British monarch is the head of state in New Zealand

People from all over the world come to Moscow to see its places of interest. The Moscow Kremlin bells attracts a lot of people (all over the world). Read the information below and find out more facts about Kremlin Bells.

Kremlin Bells

The ringing of bells accompanied the whole life of Moscow in ancient times. Bells rang invasions and during the frequent fires, in cases of popular uprisings, and to announce victories or holiday celebrations.

Even today bells ring on the Kremlin’s Spassky Tower.

At present there are 29 ancient bells in the Moscow Kremlin. Some of them hang in the Ivan the Great bell tower and in the buildings around it.

The biggest bell weighting 65 tons and 320 kg can be seen in the embrasure of the “Filaret building” which rises next to the Belfry under a golden dome. The bell is called the Assumption Day Bell. It was cast by Yakov Zavyalov of metal taken from an even older bell which used to hang in the building and was broken when the bell tower blew up in 1812.

The most famous of all bells, the Tzar Bell, stands on the ground at the foot of the Ivan the Great bell tower, and is surrounded by people from morning till night. It’s history in brief is as follows. In 1730 Empress Anna Ivanovna ordered that a bell weighting 9000 poods (126 tons) should be cast. German, the casting master of the French king thought it was a joke. Ivan Motorin, the most famous casting master in Moscow in those days, declared that it was possible.

A special casting pit was dug in Ivanovskaya Square in the Kremlin. The pit was 10 meters deep. Huge amounts of copper, tin and sulphur, as well as 72 kg of gold and more than 500 kg of silver were used.

Ivan Motorin failed to finish the casting and it was completed by his son Mikhail. Apart from all kinds of ornaments found on the bell, there is the following inscription: “This bell was cast by Russian craftsman Ivan Motorin, the son of Fyodor Motorin, and his son Mikhail Motorin”.

The casting was successful and finally the bell stood ready to be lifted on an iron grating. During a very bad fire that raged in the Kremlin on May 29, 1737, the wooden building above the pit caught fire. People rushed to extinguish the flames and poured water onto the burning log that had fallen into the pit. Due to uneven and fast cooling the metal cracked out and a fragment weighing 11,5 tons broke off.

The bell remained in the pit for a hundred years. In the 19 th century it was hoisted onto a white stone pedestal for public observation.

Here are a few statistics about the dimensions and weight of the giant. It is 6,14 metres high, has a diameter of 6,6 metres, and weighs 202 tons and 924 kg. Hence its name – the Tzar Bell.

The Wired-up School.

Churchill Community School in Somerset is a place where pupils and staff have mastered the art of getting what they want out of their computers. Like many school boys, Philip Eagle and his friends enjoy making paper aeroplanes. The only difference is that these boys are being given tips by a computer. “It’s physics, aeronautics and education”, insists Philip. He forgets to add that it’s also a pleasant way of passing the time during the morning break. He is currently working on his personal statement for the UCAS university Entrance form. “I’ve word-processed it so I can get more words into the space on the form apart from that, it looks much better type-written”.

He is one of the many pupils at Churchill Community School who have chosen to spend their twenty minutes of freedom on the learning resource centre. Here they can borrow books, do last-minute homework, catch up on gossip or take a turn on one of the computers that are always available for them to use.

Students use the computers for a wide variety of tasks. Ian Blomfield , for example, used a CD-ROM of back-issues of The Times and Sunday Times; along with the electronic encyclopedia Encarta, to find out about environmental damage caused by oil-tanker disasters. But he was able to go a step further. He used E-mail to pick the brains of campaigners and Friends of the Earth. “There was no other way we could have got such up-to-date information”, he says.

Because of a technologically advanced link to the Internet, twenty-eight computers can remain permanently on line. Cliff Harris , the school’s computer technician, explains that pupils can use the Internet as easily as any piece of software. “A lot of students are likely to have a PC at home in their room”, he adds. “They go home and have conversations with their schoolmates on the Internet”.

Most children seem to use their PC in a way that would please any teacher. Charles Palmer , who can also be found in the resource centre at break-time, says, “I didn’t exactly learn to read using a computer, but it was the adventure game Monkey Island that made me really want to learn. If I couldn’t read what was on the screen, I couldn’t play the game”. Charles also uses his PC for designing his family’s Christmas cards.

Helen Brown finds that her PC is an invaluable home tutor that can offer her that little extra bit of help. “Sometimes there are things in Algebra or Biology that teachers only go over once, and I don’t understand them. but I can use a program I’ve got at home which explains it again and again until I do understand it!”. However, she isn’t impressed by the possibility of computers replacing teachers. “You can’t ask a computer questions”, she says. “It just asks you”.

Her view seems widely shared. “It would be totally boring”, says Chris Richmond . “You’d switch the machine off, or switch off yourself”. Nevertheless, he is currently using his PC to Write an article on passive smoking and claims that he is being given the chance to write the best essay he could possibly write with the use of his computer.

Pupils without access to a computer at home are obviously at some disadvantage. The school tries hard to make up for this. They want all pupils to have a chance to take advantage of this valuable, interesting – and often fun – form of technology.

The creatures that time forgot

0

The process of evolution has been very hard on some creatures. Just think of dinosaurs along with many other species, they were unable to adapt to the changing environment and as a result, died out. But sometimes members of a species have managed to hide away and live on. Meat-eating sponges, coelacanths and the white salamander are three such creatures.

1

The remarkable thing about these three creatures is that they have not changed for millions of years. They have remained hidden away in some of the darkest under-water places on earth. These are caves which, until now, have not been properly explored; they lack light and food and the creatures that live in them have had to struggle to survive.

2

The most exotic of these creatures lives deep in an underwater cave in Europe. It is the while salamander which is a member of a species 350 million years old – older than the dinosaurs. Over the last 20 million years, it has been driven to isolated places in order to escape being hunted. The underwater cave was the ideal place. In fact the salamander managed to hide so successfully that the first sighting wasn’t reported until 1689.

3

The salamander is usually a pale, milky colour and it is almost blind. It can live for up to 100 years, and can apparently live decades without food. The salamander is under threat, though as a result of pollution in underground rivers. Scientists have had problems trying to raise salamanders, so they have created a laboratory in underwater caves in order to do this.

4

In equally dark caves under the sea, there has been an even more surprising discovery: a sponge that eats meat. It was discovered in a cave that was flooded 7000 years ago. The water is cold and still and has no nutrition. Faced with this lack of food that other sponges take from the water, this species started catching tiny sea animals like shrimps and prawns and eating them. This was the only way this strange creature could survive.

5

The most famous of all these creatures, however, is the coelacanth. This ancient fish has lived in the sea for more than 300 million years. Until 1938, scientists thought it had died out a long time before. Then one was caught in the Indian Ocean. This fish has fins which resemble legs, and these have not changed for millions of years. A recent study showed that, unlike other fish, it lives and breeds in caves and the only time it ventures out is for food.

6

Because of fishing and tourism, the coelacanth is in great danger of dying out. Experts say there are only about 200 of them left. It seems that the isolation which protected these ancient creatures for millions of years is no more. Humans are, of course, the biggest threat to them, and now that their secret places have been discovered, they have nowhere left to go.

A A completely new species

B Surviving unchanged

C The threats people pose

D Changing eating habits for survival

E Exceptions to extinction

F Hiding from hunters

G Saving ancient lives with science

H A surprising reappearance

Life is like a Cafeteria

A friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat dawn at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end”, she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay’.

“I soon learned that’s how everything works in America”, the grandfather told a friend. “Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get if yourself”.

Правила игры:
Игра проводится в спортзале или в кабинете, если позволяют его размеры.
На «Финише», т.е. у дальней стены спортзала для каждой команды стоит своя парта, до которых участники по очереди, добегают, выполняют задания, возвращаются назад и передают эстафету следующему участнику команды.
Задания и условия каждого этапа объясняет учитель, он же и следит за выполнением заданий. Выполненные задания проверяет жюри и считает баллы. Баллы можно начислять как за правильные ответы, так и за быстроту выполнения.
Количество этапов, их последовательность, задания могут варьироваться по усмотрению учителя.
