II. Introduction.

Teacher:   Good  morning, dear friends!  Glad to greet you  at  our meeting. It’s                         

                 devoted to New Zealand, a beautiful and mysterious land, to its culture.              

Some days ago I and my friends came back home from Wellington.We visited our relatives in New Zealand. They invited us for a meeting with  the Ukrainian diaspora. Some of them are our countrymen  who have been  living there for some years. Some of them were the first Ukrainians  settled in  that country in 1949. The meeting was devoted to the 62^nd anniversary of  their first visit to New Zealand.

           They showed us their new native land and told much about their achieve-  ments.

           We were very glad to hear it.  But we were more interested in their culture and education. They gladly acquainted us with their cultural life. All of us were very            much impressed by their culture, especially by the culture of  New Zealand’s   abori- gines. It was very exciting! We enjoyed every minute watching the work of skillful masters, listening to the folk music, seeing  their dances.   So, we’d like to share our impressions with you.

III.   The main part of the lesson.

a)  Teacher:   Meet my friends.  Each of us will speak about one or two cultural aspects. We’ll try to depict their arts as a beautiful flower . ( Making an associative flower).So let’s start.

Guest  1.  I’d like to tell you some words about the country itself.

           New Zealand is a sovereign island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country has two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui), and

the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 600 smaller islands. It has a total land area of 268,000 square kilometres (103,500 sq mi).

 New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, and its most populous city is Auckland.

Teacher:  Comrades, I invite you to the interesting world of New Zealand!  

Guest  2:   As for me , I’d like to speak about the culture of  New Zealand.

Between about 1280 and 1350, Polynesians began to settle in the islands and developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Dutch explorer Abel Tasman became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the United Kingdom and Māori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, which declared British sovereignty over the islands. In 1841, New Zealand became a colony within the British Empire and in 1907 it became a dominion; it gained full statutory independence in 1947 and the British monarch remained the head of state. Today, the majority of New Zealand's population of 4.9 million is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. 

Guest  3:  European New Zealanders (Pakeha) despite their location far from Europe, had strong cultural ties with "Mother England.” Pākehā began to forge a separate identity influenced by their pioneering history, a rural lifestyle and New Zealand's unique environment

Guest  4:  Maori culture has predominated for most of New Zealand's history of human habitation. Māori voyagers reached the islands of New Zealand some time before 1300, though exact dates are uncertain.

Guest  5:  Hello! I want to tell you about their literature.

   New Zealand's most successful early writers were  such as Katherine Mansfield. From the 1950s, Frank Sargeson, Janet Frame and others had  writing careers while still living in New Zealand

Guest  6:   Pre-European Māori visual art had two main forms: carving and weaving. Both recorded stories and legends and also had religious roles. Another prominent feature of Maori culture is the striking tattoos that adorned the face.

The language is very important and for a visitor to speak a little Maori greeting is sure to get a delighted response from both the Maori and the New Zealanders. The Maori language is called Te Reo Maori: -   Kia ora – Hello!

Teacher:   In the streets of  Wellington I met extraordinary artists. Oh, comrades,    

they were ordinary, but their pictures were remarkable. They were  painted on the bird’s feathers. Look! Have you ever seen such masterpieces?

Guest  7:  Performing art is an important part of the culture.Kapa haka

Kapa haka  (kapa meaning 'rank' or 'row' and haka referring to a Māori dance), is the 'cultural dance' component of traditional Māori Performing Arts.

Drama

New Zealand drama, both on stage and screen, has been plagued during much of its history by cost and lack of popular interest in New Zealand culture.                                        

Guest  1:  New Zealand music takes most of the same forms as that of other 'Western' countries, with hip-hop being particularly popular amongst young Māori and Pacific Islanders. New Zealand hip-hop tends to be more humorous and much less violent and sexist than in other countries. There are small but thriving live music and  dance  party scenes.

b)    Teacher:

Comrades, you know there are a great variety of legends created by the people in New Zealand. Most of them are devoted to the creation of the world, the natural for-ces and phenomena and to love, of course.  I want to read one of Maori legends about    love . It’s a wonderful love story.  Listen to it, please.

                      (The teacher is reading the legend   “Hinemoa”) 

The pupils discuss the main characters of the legend. 

c)    Teacher:  Dear friends, I want you to read another New Zealand legend. Its title is “The Story of  Aoraki “. 

   (The pupils are reading the legend  then discussing  it.)

Teacher:   Dear friends!  Look at the board! You can see a lovely flower made by us.  Isn’t it beautiful?  During the meeting we saw many interesting and wonderful things made by skillful  people. We tried to show some aspects of New Zealand culture, especially the  culture  of its aborigines.
