PROCEDURE OF THE LESSON

I The beginning of the lesson

1. Greeting

Good morning, my dear pupils! I am very glad to see you at our unusual lesson that will help you understand animals better.

2. Warm up

As you've understood you are going to work in groups. So, first of all take cards on your desks and find your group. Pay attention that we have 3 teams. (Children have 3 types of cards: 1 - domestic animals (a rooster, a rabbit, a turkey, a goose, a duck, a cow, a goat, a horse), 2 - wild animals (a wolf, a bear, a fox, a giraffe, a tiger, a zebra, a lion, a hippo), 3 – pets (a parrot, a hamster, a dog, a cat, fish, a mouse, a rat,  ). Pupils have to understand in what group they are. Then they choose a leader and a name of the team).

Now I would like you to memorize these tongue- twisters. Try to pronounce them quickly Each group has their own one on your desks. Those group that will do it the best, will get one point. Good luck!

II. The  main part of the lesson

So, have a look on the board and the topic of our lesson. Why do you think we are going to talk about kindness to animals today on the 4^th of October?

Remember that the 4^th of October is a World Animal Day. That's why we are to speak about it in order to treat animals with love and respect.

Revising vocabulary and discussion

Now you are playing a game “Bank. Donate. Bankrupt”. On the board you see words and phrases. You have to make up a sentence with one of them taking turns.

(A teacher writes 50, 100, bank or bankrupt on the opposite side of the poster due to each phrase.

Take care of animals - 100

Feed animals properly -50

Clean up their cages - bankrupt

Wash and brush them - donate

Play with them – 100

Take to a vet – 50

Take to animals – donate.

Each team chooses a phrase and makes a sentence with it. Only then a teacher says the score)

(Pupils sing a song clapping instead of one letter. And at the end they clap instead of saying B-I-N-G-O)
