Ход урока

1. Introduction.

1. Greeting.

Good morning, children! I’m glad to see you. Let’s start our lesson. If you want to know the topic of our lesson look at the picture.

What is it? What can you say about it?

Look at the word. Though it’s a proper name we can split it into two parts in order to find out its meaning.

A stone is the hard compact nonmetallic material of which rocks are made.

A henge is a circular area, often containing a circle of stones or sometimes wooden posts.

2. Mind-map.

So, what do you know about Stonehenge?

When was it built? Where? Who built it? What for? By the end of the lesson you will be able to answer these questions.

2. Main part.

1. Vocabulary work.

1. Work in groups of three. Match the words with their definitions.
2. Work in pars. Fill in the gaps.
3. Tic Tac Toe game. Make up sentences with the words given.

2. Listening and watching. (Heritage is great. From Britishcouncil.org)
