                                    PROCEDURE

1. Organization moment. Greetings.

 

T: Good morning, boys and girls! I’m glad to see you. I think you are all fine and I hope you will be very active and energetic during our lesson.

2. Main body.

 

1. Introduction of the topic and the aims of the lesson.

T: Tell me, please, what is the weather like today? How do we get information about weather, news, famous people?

P: The weather is… We can get information about weather, news, famous people from radio, television, Internet.

T: You are right. So, today we’ll have a lesson devoted to Mass Media and television in Ukraine. During the lesson you will:

• revise and enrich your vocabulary on the topic: “Mass Media”;
• work in pairs and in groups over the kinds of Mass Media and different kinds of TV programmes;
• watch the video and do some tasks;

 

  So, what can we tell about Mass Media?

People have always wanted to be well-informed in current events. They used to read books, newspapers and magazines. The world was changing rapidly. Mass Media has become a very important part of our life. We all have already become listeners, readers, viewers long time ago. We get information we need while we are reading newspapers and magazines, watching TV, listening to the news on the radio. If you want to relax, you can just switch on any FM station and enjoy music or you switch on your TV set, choose one of the music channels and have fun. Now you can hardly imagine that just more than 30 years ago there were no FM radio in our country, no satellite television and Internet at all. And we may assert that Mass Media is in control of most spheres in the life of society.

 

  2. Brain-storming. Work in groups.

T: Name the words the Mass Media must have. ( Pupils’ answers) Let’s divide these words into the following categories:

         PRESS

Let’s unite into four teams of four pupils. I’ll give you the cards with the names of the categories and a list of words which are associated with these categories. Your task is to match the words with the appropriate category. (You’ve got     minutes).

 

THE WORDS: NEWSPAPER, VIEWER, TALK SHOW, MAGAZINE, SOAP OPERA, SCREEN, FILM, FM, WEATHER, BROADCAST, PAGE, ARTICLE, CHAT, NETWORKING, VIDEO,  PRINTER, COMPUTER, LISTENER, CROSSWORD, PROGRAMME, DJ, ADVERTISEMENT, MESSAGE, ONLINE, JOURNALIST, DOWNLOAD, MOVIE, HOROSCOPE.

4. Developing of the listening skills.

 Watching the video-trailer to the film “Pan”.

 \

T: And now, we’ve got a very interesting task.

 You are going to watch a video trailer to the film “Pan” by Warner Brothers.

    I’ll give you the tasks on the sheets of paper. Here are tests. Look through the task attentively. What words don’t you understand?

    Let’s watch the trailer for the first time. Your task is to watch and to do the test. Choose the right letter from each sentence. (Watching to the trailer).

   Watch the trailer for the second time and check your answers. Exchange the papers with your neighbour and look at the answers on the screen. At the bottom of the sheets of paper you’ve got the criteria of the mark. Count your mistakes and put the mark for the work. Exchange your papers again and raise your hand who has got “12”. Excellent. And now - those who made only one mistake. Well… So I see you can listen and understand the English speech well.

 

5. Developing of the reading and writing skills.

 

  T: Now you have got a text “Television Programmes”. Your task is to read the text, to understand it and answer 6 questions after the text. Then you have to underline the sentences with the Relative Clause and tell what words connect two parts of the sentences. (You’ve got …min).

                    TELEVISION PROGRAMMES

  Let’s look at the television guide now and see what programmes we can watch today. I see that at 9:30 a.m. on the channel “One plus One” I may see a programme called “Tom and Jerry”. This is an American cartoon about a mouse and a cat that have many problems and funny situations. Next at 10:30 I see on the channel “Inter” they’re showing an American film called “Hard Nut”. This is a very popular action film about a police officer. The main star in the film is Bruce Willis. At noon I turn on the TV. On the local Kharkiv channel they’re showing a special programme about festivals in the city. I see that at 1:30 on the “1+1” channel they will be showing a programme called “The BBC Wildlife Show”. Today the programme will be discussing animals that live in a savanna in Africa. Next I see that we may watch a soap opera called “Roxolana”. It is about a very young, clever and beautiful Ukrainian girl who was taken to the Turkey. She was in the Turkish sultan’s harem and fought for her life and happiness. The main star of the film is Olha Sumska. Finally I see that in the evening if you are interested in what is happening in Ukraine and in the world you may watch the local evening news which is on at 8 o’clock on “Inter”. Also if you want to learn about sports news you may watch “Inter Sports” at 8:30. So those are some of the interesting programmes which you can see on television today.

 

                                 Answer the questions.

1. What kind of programme is “Tom and Jerry”?
2. What kind of film is “Hard Nut”?
3. Who is the star in the film?
4. When can you watch a programme about festivals in Kharkiv?
5. On what channel can you watch the “BBC Wildlife Show”?
6. What may you watch at 8 o’clock on “Inter”?

T: Read the text for the second time and find and underline the sentences with the Relative Clause. (You’ve got…min).

     Let’s check your task. What your answers for the questions? Read the sentences with the Relative Clause. What words connect two parts of the sentences in Relative Clause?

    Well done. I see you’ve got good reading and writing skills.

6. Doing a project. Work in groups.

 

T: And now you’ll have a project work. Let’s unite into four groups. Your task is to make a page from the magazine. You’ve got a big sheet of paper, parts of the articles, pictures, and headlines. You have to put the paragraphs of the articles in the correct order. For this you must find the beginning, the main part and the ending of the text. On the top of the project is going to be the headline of the article. It’s up to you in what way you will place the pictures in the project. Every group must present the project and pay attention to the most important points in the article.

(You’ve got… min).

T: Well done. Your job is nice, colourful and interesting. You are very friendly pupils.

3. Summarising.

T: Our lesson is coming to the end. We have discussed some aspects of the theme. Did we find a golden mean? We tried to do it. So, use all advantages that the Mass Media offers us but don’t forget about real life.
