Хід уроку

1. Warm-up.

Tell students how you slept last night, e.g. Usually I sleep deeply, but last night I kept waking up. When I got up this morning, I felt tired.

In pairs, students describe how they slept last night.

Ask Ss questions (ex.1 p.36):

1 What time do you usually go to bed

a) on weekdays

b) at the weekend?

2 What time do you usually get up

a) on weekdays

b) at the weekend?

3 Have those times changed much since you were younger?

2. Listening \ watching the video (The Circadian Rhythm and Your Biological Clock).

1.       Introduce some of the vocabulary from the video.
2.      Before watching, ask Ss to watch the video and answer the following questions:

• What is a circadian rhythm?
• How long does the circadian rhythm last?
• What problems may occur in case of the circadian rhythm disruption?

3.       Watch the video, then check understanding by answering the pre-vide questions.

3. Reading.

1.       Go through the Reading Strategy together. Then ask students what they could do to match a question with a paragraph. (They could look for the same words, words in the same word family or for associated words.)
2.      Students read the text and then answer the question.
3.       Check answers as a class. (ex.2 p.36)
4.      Ask students to read the instructions carefully. (ex.3 p.36) (With a weaker class, ask students to underline the key words in each question that will help them to match it with the correct part of the article).
5.       Students then read the article and match the paragraphs with the questions.
6.        Check answers as a class.
7.      Ex.4 p.36: Pre-teach lark /lɑːk/ (a small brown bird with a pleasant song, noted for its early rising) and owl /aʊl/ (a nocturnal bird with large eyes that hunts small animals at night).
8.      Students read the questions, scan the text for the answers and write the answers in their notebooks.
9.        Check answers as a class.
