                                                Procedure

1.       Preliminaries.
   •                  1. Greeting

       Good morning, boys and girls! Nice to see you in good health today. How’s life today? What mood are you in? 

      Let’s say something good to each other. Take this orange and wish something good to your friend. I’ll start “Ann, I wish you to get a good mark today”. (P1 – P2 – P3…)

 

•                   2.  Aim

        Today we’ll go to the country of Health. There is a beautiful garden where different fruit trees grow. Do you like fruit? What fruit do you like? As for me, I like cherries. And you? But the fruit in our garden are magic. If you eat them, you’ll be healthy and will study very well. We must get these fruit and make a Health Cocktail from them. There is an English proverb “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But to get these fruit you have to do a lot of tasks. Are you ready? Let’s go! And the topic of our lesson is “We want to be healthy”.

 

          3. Warming up

       Are you healthy? Let’s check. All of you have three different circles. Listen to me and choose the color of your health, go to the board and stick it on the glass of cocktail.

Pink: - if you seldom fall ill during the year and miss lessons rarely – you’re healthy;

Yellow:  - if you fall ill mostly during the epidermises – you’re healthy in some way;

Blue: - if you often fall ill during the year and miss your lessons – your health is in   

            danger.

2.   The Main Part of the Lesson

1.  Work in groups

      Today you’ll work in groups and you have evaluation charts on your desks. For each task you’ll get 3 points. And the first task is “Associations”. Draw your associations with the words “Health” and “Illness”. You have 3 min.

                                 (учні пишуть свої асоціації під музику )

      Now the time is over. Choose a speaker and explain your associations.

 

•                 2.  Speaking

     What should you do to be healthy? You’ve got a task in groups to prepare a presentation and answer this question. So, group 1 – you are welcome!

 

Presentation of the first group “Healthy food”

•      If you want to be healthy you must eat healthy food which contains hydrocarbons, fats, minerals. They are in meat, fish, eggs, cheese, butter, oil, nuts, bread, sugar, cereals.
•      Don’t overeat – it’s very bad for your health. Don’t eat hot meals, don’t eat very quickly and don’t speak while eating.
•      You must also eat a lot of vitamins A, B, C.
•      Hello, I’m Vitamin A. I am in carrot, butter and some other products.
•      I’m vitamin B and my place is in rye-bread. It’s very useful.
•      Black currants, apples, lemons, onions are full of me. When you are ill, drink tea with lemon and it’ll help you.

Our motto is: Live not to eat, but eat to live.

        3.  Vocabulary practice.  Divide these things into 2 categories: healthy - unhealthy, and write down them in your copybooks.

Chocolate, eggs, carrot, sweets, honey, bread, meat, cake, milk, hot dog, butter, fish, candy, apple, chips, cheese, hamburger, orange, tomato, pizza.

 

Presentation of the second group “Sport and exercises”.

And now group 2 you are welcome!

•      We think to be healthy people should go in for sport and do exercises regularly.
•      There are many kinds of sports you can go in for: swimming, running, skating, skiing.
•      Sport helps people to keep fit, to be healthy and strong.
•      Do you like sport and exercises? Let’s check. We’ll play a game “Simon says!”

(Учні проводять фізкультхвилинку у вигляді гри)

Our motto is: A healthy mind in a healthy body.

 

Presentation of the third group “Laugh and smile”

Group 3 it’s your turn to present your project.

•      Do you know that 1 min. of laughing is as useful as 45 min. of physical training lesson? 5 min. of laughing is the same as 200 grams of sour cream.
•      When you laugh, your breathing is better, your blood circulates better and your brain gets more oxygen.
•      10 min of laughing helps to forget about all pains for 2 hours.
•      Look at each other and smile!

Our motto is: Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

 

       4.  Task on cards “Do you know the English proverbs well?”

               Match the parts of the proverbs about health.

1. Health is better                                      a) than sorry
2. An apple a day                                       b) in a healthy body
3. A happy heart                                         c) than wealth
4. A healthy mind                                       d) keeps the doctor away                                          

     5. Early to bed, early to rise                       e) is a good medicine

     6. Better to be safe                                      f) makes a man healthy, wealthy and 

                                                                             wise

                                                

But people still fall ill in any season of the year. What do you usually do if you fall ill?

Yes, you go to the doctor’s. What does the doctor do? He prescribes you some medicine. And now you’ll have the next task.

 

•                5. Dramatizing the dialogues

    Each group will get a dialogue. Choose two pupils who’ll act it out. The other pupils must choose the best medicine according to the patient’s complains.

•          Oh, hi, Jane. I had a headache.
•          How are you now?

At the dentist’s office

Dentist: Hello!

Roma: Hello!

Dentist: What is the matter?

Roma: I`ve got an awful toothache. I took different tablets, but nothing could help 

             me.

Dentist: Open your mouth, please. Show me your teeth. What tooth hurts you? Oh, 

              your teeth are so bad. Do you brush your teeth?

Roma: Oh, yes, I do.

Dentist: How often do you brush your teeth?

Roma:  Sometimes often, sometimes seldom.

Dentist: You must brush your teeth more than three times a day. And you must visit

              a dentist twice a year. But now I`ll extract your tooth.  It is too bad.

Roma: Oh! My God!

 

A visit to a surgeon

Surgeon: Hello!

Sasha: Hello!

Surgeon: What`s the matter?

Sasha: Oh, I was going home in the evening yesterday.  It was dark.  I didn`t notice a 

             stone on my way and fell down. I felt a terrible pain. I didn`t sleep all the

             night.

Surgeon: Show me your leg, please. Oh, I think you should go to the hospital. 

                 I hope we’ll help you and you`ll get better.
