• Reading    the text (5 min)

( Slide 12,13,14)

T: We have to read and discuss one more point .open your books at p.36 .Let’s check  the text yor had to read at home )

Role-Play  “Studio”                                                                                                                                         

T: Let’s imagine we are at the studio of  TV show “The Point Of View”. I propose to begin our conversation on the topic  THE CASE OF COEDS

The point is PROS and CONS education in coeds and single-sex schools  .

T: So! Let’s divide in two groups and try to help this girl! Give your ideas!

First of all let’s revise the rules of the discussion ( Slide 15,16)

Group Work ( 5 minutes)

                                                              Sample answers:

Group1 Сons

- we think the game who likes who , who is cool and who is not is really important in coeds schools. It’s not “cool”to be excited about school! So, the results in studying are better in single-sex classes

-We are sure that the discipline at the lessons and during the brakes is better  in single –sex school,for there is no distraction, for example ,for girls if there are no boys!

-I don’t agree with you !I can say when I was in the 9^th form I liked one boy and I was afraid to answer at the lessons . Now when he isn’t in our class I think I try to study better! So I’m sure it’s an argument!

-You will agree that in single-sex schools  boys have more opportunities to develop the talents, they become more interested in drama, languages,t ake part in the school concerts and parties

Group2Pros

- 1.If you want , I can say I study in almost single – sex class.Since we are the pupils of the 10^th form there is only one boy in it. But I can’t say all the girls began to study better!The results are the same!

-2.Look here , please ! We have made a  research and now are ready to introduce the results to you!      1.So!here you can see General Certificate of Secondary Education results of boys and girls, the pupils of the 9-A form! Red colour –for   girls and blue-for boys.

-2.And here you see last year results! We have only one boy in class Let’s see! We can’t say the girls became more successful in study . The difference isn’t great!

- As for discipline! Girls sometimes argue more often than boys. So it is not the argument we think!

-We are at school for 11 years , then a real life will go on! And in real life men and women live together. So, as we live in society, I’m sure it’s important to get to used to each other since childhood!

T: So, dear boys and girls, and guests of the studio, let’s make a conclusion! Will you agree with me if I say the main thing is to study hard and understand that knowledge is a great power, which open new horizons to us!?

And now let’s connect with Madelyn!

( watching video)

Madelyn: I liked your discussion! I’d like to say I also studied at coeducational school and I agree with the idea that as we live in the society boys and girls must go to school together!

T:Madelyn, did you like our lesson, what do you think about the work of our pupils?

M: I see most of the pupils were really active and have very good language skills . I remember Lolita, Lera, Kate, Maria … a lot of pupils!

As for my surpise! Do you know , that FLEX programme is taking place in Ukraine now!Last  Saturday it was in Kryvyi Rih! You can take part in it  and if you pass your exam in English you’ll have a chance to continue your study in the USA! Good luck to you and good bye!
