PROCEDURE

1. Introduction

T: Dear students! Today’s lesson is dedicated to the topic “Appearance and character of a man.” We have been learning this topic for 5 lessons. Today we are going to systemize your knowledge on the theme revising and expanding the topic-related vocabulary. You will practice your reading and speaking skills working in pairs and groups. As the final step of your work on the topic “Appearance and character of a man” you will have a test at the end of the lesson.

 

Home-task checking:

T: Your home task for today was to comment on the given proverbs about human nature. Another task was to create an emblem, divide it into 4 parts

and write in it characteristics of your friends. As you see the task was creative. That’s why I’m eager to listen to your variants. The first proverb was:

•        A friend in need is a friend indeed.

The second proverb was:

•        A man is known by the company he keeps.

The third one was:

•        Clothes don’t make a man.

             

II. Main part

1. Group work

T: Thanks for your work. It was really very interesting to listen to your commentaries. Now, let’s move on and play a game. You are divided into groups. But your groups don’t have any names. How do you like the idea of giving names to your groups in an unusual way? This is what I mean. To choose the name for your team, you have to find out the necessary pieces of a motto, which are hidden here in the classroom. They are written on the colored pieces of paper. Each group will be looking for its own color. Now, let’s choose your colors and names. Answer my questions, please:

•        What color is the sky?

             (The group which gives the answer first will be called “The blues”)

 

•        What color is a cucumber?

              (The group which gives the answer to the question will be named “The greens”.       And “The reds” will be the name of the last group. So, now each team starts looking for its own color and tries to make up the whole sentence. The group which will be the first raises up their hand.

(After that their motto will be put on the desk, written on a sheet of colored paper)

The mottos are:

•        “Don’t talk too much if you want to be listened to”.
•        “Who chatters to you will chatter of you”.
•        “A man is known by the company he keeps”.

              (At the end of races the teacher checks up the motto of each group, the group reads it out).

2. Brain-storming: (HO-1)

T: Now, you’ve got one more joyful task! We have boys and girls in the class. They say that those two genders differ. Let’s try to prove or disapprove this statement. On the given sheets of paper there are 12 statements. Try to sort out the written characteristics in the following way:

•        group 1, “The blues”, will mark characteristics which are true to girls;
•        group 2, “The greens”, will think of characteristics which are true to boys;
•        group 3, “The reds”, will mark characteristics true both to boys and girls.

So, let’s start!

(After the task is completed, the pupils share their opinions)
