III. Основна частина уроку

А) Ознайомлення із новими ЛО

At first I propose you to play a funny game. This game is called “The type machine”. For this I need 2 volunteers. At this table we have the buttons of the type machine. You two see only the numbers. When I say the number you must choose the right paper and pick it up. And all the rest must write the letters from the papers. In such a way you will get the words that name the parts of the computer.( На парті розташовані листочки із номерами відповідними до номера букви в алфавіті. Діти-помічники бачать тільки номери, так як на картці зверху є номер, знизу – буква англійського алфавіту. Напр.: зверху 1 – знизу А, зверху 2 – знизу В, і т.д.)

16 18 9 14 20 5 18 (printer)

19 16 5 1 11 5 18 19 (speakers)

13 15 14 9 20 15 18 (monitor)

11 5 25 2 15 1 18 4 (keyboard)

19 25 19 20 5 13    21 14  9 20 (system unit)

23 5 2 3 1 13(webcam)

Write these words on the papers and now put them on the board in front of the letters that means the parts of the computer. (На дошці малюнок комп’ютера, до якого треба приєднати отримані в попередньому завданні слова).

B) Розвиток навичок читання

 G. When I need to know

• Match the titles and the texts. Use 1 letter only one time.

1. I can’t imagine my life without a computer. I even do most of my grocery shopping on-line now. Price comparison websites show the best thing for me is you can get information on any subject in seconds. Now, when I am preparing for an essay or research for a project I don’t need to go to a library to get the information I need. I just click the right button to get it! (G)

2. I don’t understand the motivation of these people. May be it is some kind of revenge on society. But the kids (and it is mostly young people) who create and send out viruses cause incalculable damage. So everybody needs anti-virus software now. With all the updates needed it is not cheap. But these days you cannot go on-line without defending your machine. (B)

3. I have filters, virus protection software and a fairly high tech system for storing unwelcome  addresses but I still can barely cope with the huge amount of spam I receive. What is slightly alarming is that so much of it seems to contain risky or dangerous material. Many of them concern drugs and a lot are trying to steal your money. (A)

4. It is amazing to think that even twenty years ago most people wrote letters with pen, paper, and ink. These were sent in envelopes on which were stuck postage stamps and the message sent would arrive in two or three days. Business letters are still sent but it is increasingly rare. You could send and receive 10 or 12 letters in a month at some cost. You can exchange 10 or 12 emails in two hours at virtually no cost. (C)

5. On-line  theft (крадіжка) continues to grow year by year, in step with new technologies. Some of the computer criminals can hack through any firewall to penetrate a system and steal valuable data. Some have also created sensors for reading credit and debit card numbers whilst they are being used in cash machines. It is a good idea to change your passwords regularly but even this does not protected you completely. (D)

6. Company is stimulating and most of us prefer to travel to a place of work  where we can be amongst other people all day. Like wise the majority would prefer not to stay at home working and be alone all day. But the fact is that communications technology is now so good that efficient and secure home working is now possible. Probably in the future, most people will need to work from home part time. (F)

C) Project works “Advantages and disadvantages of using computers”. (Роботи були підготовлені учнями у групах заздалегідь)
