Ход урока

Введение в ситуацию урока

Учащиеся заходят в кабинет. Окна завешаны, звучит песня "Panic! – This is Halloween". Кабинет оформлен в стиле праздника Halloween.
Музыка заканчивается, учитель читает стихотворение.

Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches

Across the sky,
When elf and sprite
Flit through the night
On a moony sheen.

Tonight is the night
When leaves make a sound
Like a gnome in his home
Under the ground,

When spooks and trolls
Creep out of holes
Mossy and green.
Tonight is the night

When pumpkins stare
Through sheaves and leaves
Everywhere,
When ghouls and ghost

And goblin host
Dance round their queen.
It's Halloween.

It’s a very interesting holiday!
I like this day! In school we have Halloween every year!
I hate such American holidays.
My family celebrates only Russian festivals, Halloween is not for us.

- It was a good job!
- Your homework: write down 10-12 sentences about your attitude to Halloween’s celebration in Russia. Must we celebrate this day?

Ответ ученицы Ксении В.:

I want to tell you about my attitude to Halloween. It’s very popular today to celebrate this day in Russia. In schools and universities Halloween parties take place every year. Children and teenagers wear scary costumes, make lanterns of pumpkins. But as for me I hate this holiday. To celebrate this holiday?

No way! We have so many wonderful festivals in our country - Trinity, New Year, Pancake week, Victory day and others. We don’t need such holidays as Halloween and St. Valentine’s Day. But it’s only my opinion. My classmates and friends don’t agree with me.

Thank you for your attention and your work. Today we have learnt some more facts about American traditions and Halloween.
Thank you! Our Halloween party is over. Good bye!
