PROCEDURE
- Greeting and Introduction
T. Good morning, friends!
P. Good morning, teacher!
T. I’m glad to see you!
P. We’re glad to see you, too!
T. I hope you are fine!
P. We hope you are, too!
T. Today we’re going to have an unusual lesson. During our last lessons we read & spoke much about our houses & flats, furniture & our household chores. But today we’re going to speak about something interesting & exciting in our world.
I think it’s better to start any work or business with a nice mood. Let’s see how are you today .Take your ‘’faces’’ & if you feel well, – draw a smile, if you feel neither well or bad – draw a face without smile, and if you’re sad and unhappy – draw a sad face.
( The children are drawing ‘’faces’’ ).
T. Now, show me your ‘’faces’’
( The children are going to the blackboard & telling about their mood ).
Ps. I’m happy ( relieved, scared, worried, tired, bored, surprised, excited, tip-top, so-so, fantastic, OK ) – We ‘re glad to hear that, It’s a pity, I’m sorry to hear that, Don’t worry, Be happy, I’m sure everything will be all right, etc.
T. Look at the blackboard! Choose the pictures which aren’t connected with the topic “ Houses & Furniture “. Write the first letters of the words connected with this topic and make up new words, which tell you about the topic of our lesson – Crazy Houses.
- Warming-up ( Riddles and a Mind Map )

The pupils are guessing the riddles & writing down the Mind-Map on the blackboard.
- Гра “ Ghost writing”.
One of the pupils is “writing” the words-names of the buildings in the air. The pupils have to guess what the word it is.
The words: a bungalow, a hotel, a skyscraper, a cottage, a block of flats, a farm, a detached house, a mansion, a terraced house, a ranch, halls of residence, a mobile home, a shelter, a semi-detached house, a nursing home, a townhouse, a villa, a penthouse.
- Home Assignments Checking ( Presentation of Projects )
T. Of course, these kinds of buildings we can see every day and everywhere. But there are some buildings in the world which are unusual and even strange. Last year I visited Lutsk and saw a very unusual house. It looks like a small castle. It is decorated with different sculptures of people, animals .It was exciting! Let’s travel around the world! During our travel we can see a lot of strange houses , another words- crazy houses!
Watching Video
Your hometask was to find information about different strange houses around the world. Are you ready today? – Of course, you are.
( Some pupils are presenting their projects – another pupils are choosing the right picture )
- Jigsaw Reading ( Group work )
T. Now you’re going to read three texts just to enrich your outlook.
Both groups have the same text, but some information in them missed.
You should get this missing information by asking questions to each other.
Crazy houses!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The first photo shows an underground house in the opal mining town of Coober Pedy in the Great Central Desert of Australia. Temperatures can reach up to 60*C and some people live in underground houses where the temperature is much cooler.
The Bedouin are nomadic Arabic people who live in the deserts of Arabia and North Africa. Traditionally they live in tents and travel with herds of horses or camels. However, in modern times more and more Bedouin are finding it necessary to give up their traditional lifestyle to live and work in towns.
( Pupils listen to the text for the first time ):
TAPESCRIPT
Teri My name’s Teri. It’s very hot where I live in Australia, so my family live in an underground house! Our house in Australia is quite big and there are four bedrooms. My bedroom is really very nice. It has got a bed, a wardrobe and two bookshelves. There’s a carpet, too. It’s like a normal bedroom really, but there aren’t any windows!
Khayam Hello, I’m Khayam and I’m from Jordan. I’m a Bedouin so I live in with my family in a tent in the desert. There are only two bedrooms in our tent. One room is for the boys and one room is for the girls. I share the boys’ room with 3 people! We must tidy the tent every day because there isn’t o lot of space. I haven’t got a bed – I sleep on a carpet on the floor. There are a lot of carpets so it’s very comfortable.
Play the CD again. Students complete the sentences and check the answers with the class
- Relaxation ( A Song )
T. Very well, children. It’s time to have a rest.
( Pupils sing a song ‘’ Crazy House ‘’ )
- Writing ( Wall Dictation )
T. Now let’s check your spelling skills and write down a short dictation which is called ‘’ Wall Dictation ‘’.
The leader of each group will dictate the text which is hanging on the wall. You can ask the spelling of any word. At the end we’ll check someone’s work and the same mark will be given to this person and to the leader.
Good luck to everyone!
