At the end of the lesson you are to answer such a problem question: “What are the advantages and disadvantages of daily routine?”

Slide 4

The topic of our today’s lesson is “It’s a Dog’s Life”.

Now open your copybooks and write down today’s date and topic.

- they can’t run where they want and do what they want;

- they eat bones;

- they bark at strangers and street dogs, etc.

T: Do you agree that a dog’s life is not very pleasant? That’s why we say “it’s a dog’s life” which means that life is hard and unpleasant. Look: I've got to learn a poem by heart, then write a composition in World Literature, then do ten extra sums in Maths - it's a dog's life!

3.3.2. T.: Look at the proverbs and find the one which can be the best conclusion to our discussion:

- Health is better than wealth

- A sound mind in a sound body.

- Everyone’s health is in his own hands.

3.4. Emotional relaxation

T.: Do you still remember what the topic of our lesson is? – “It’s a dog’s life”.

We concluded that a dog’s life was not that easy. Did we find any proof while reading the text?

But now as a reward for your hard work I’ll try to give you a minute of emotional relaxation which will probably change your mind. Have fun and relax. Slide 8 Do you see unhappy dogs? One word characteristic would be to the point here.

This album with coins I inherited from my father. He started to work on this collection when he was a schoolboy. When I was a small boy I liked to watch how he organized different coins in his collection and I found this hobby very interesting. Now I am fully in it. My collection contains about 150 different coins. They are from different countries, for example:

a single penny left for me

That's too bad

In my dreams I have a plan

If I got me a wealthy man

I wouldn't have to work at all,

I'd fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In the rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In the rich man's world

Aha-ahaaa

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find

but I can't get him off my mind

Ain't it sad

And if he happens to be free

I bet he wouldn't fancy me

That's too bad

So I must leave, I'll have to go

To Las Vegas or Monaco

And win a fortune in a game,

my life will never be the same...

Do you see this wonderful plant? It serves like a plant symbol of our today’s lesson. Do you want to know why? Then read the text.

Take this plant and put it somewhere in the south or west or south-west part of your flat and put a green banknote near the stem and wait for “money rain”. Besides, this plant is good for your health. It produces some substances which make air clean. You also can have a good rest by this plant.

Keep this plant at your home. It’s easily to look after it. Just remember not to pour water close to its roots. One day you’ll enjoy watching white flowers like small stars.

Lesson-Plan

Topic: Violent Sports: to Be or Not to Be?

(Opinion Essay)

Objectives: to expand students’ vocabulary;

to widen students’ knowledge on the topic;

to develop students’ speaking skills maintaining free discussion

to develop students’ logical and critical thinking.

To develop writing skills.

Equipment: textbook, smart board, video, multimedia presentation, handouts,

Procedure

I. Introduction

T: Dear students, today we’re going to discuss a very important thing “Violence in sports”. At the lesson we shall expand our vocabulary;

widen our knowledge on the topic;

develop speaking skills maintaining free discussion

develop logical and critical thinking.

II. Warming up

T: Today the sports that include aggressive activities are gaining more and more popularity, as they present a way of entertainment to the spectators. The youth enjoy these ‘violent sports’ such as boxing, kick boxing… Will you continue this list? Let’s start our lesson with watching a video on the topic. (Video)

Now, what sports were mentioned in the video?

What actions do you associate with violence in sports?

(tripping, slashing, pushing, hitting, knocking…)

What are the consequences of these actions? (bone fractures, bruises, injuries, disability…)

T : Let’s see the definition of violence in sports given by Wikipedia.

Violence in sports refers to physical acts committed in contact sports such as American football, ice hockey, rugby football, lacrosse, soccer, boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling, and water polo beyond the normal levels of contact expected while playing the sport. These acts of violence can include intentional attempts to injure a player by another player or coach, but can also include threats of physical harm or actual physical harm .

III. Group work Now let’s split into groups. Look, I have symbols “for” and

“against”. I put them into the envelope. Your should come in turn, take one of the pieces and find the members of your group. Those who have a “for” symbol take places at this table. The ones with “against” symbol occupy these places.

The proverb says: “Thought thrives on conflict”. One group finds arguments “For” banning violent sports. Another group presents arguments against it.

Get ready to represent your opinions in 5 minutes.

“FOR”

Sports are an integral part of human life. However, some are considered to be more dangerous than the others. Because of the dangers those sports can lead to, many people believe they should be banned.

Firstly, human life is undoubtedly precious. If somebody, for example, dies of a dangerous sport; his family would be very upset.

Next, sports are meant to help people improve their health. For instance, playing table tennis should give you a better level of reflection.

Moreover, dangerous sports can result in serious injuries which can make them disabled.

Finally, a challenging sport needs not be dangerous. It is commonly believed that people like to play dangerous sports because they are considered to be more challenging. However, there are many challenging sports which do not require people to face dangers.

To sum up, I would strongly recommend that dangerous sports should be banned from our societies. Because they do not contribute to the development of human life and because of the dangers people could face, safer sports should be considered as the best alternative.

“AGAINST”

If we take boxing for example, many people associate it, with a guarantee of injury. It is not really very different for instance, from football. Football is a full contact sport in which players are injured frequently and there seems to be no question as to whether football should be banned.

A lot of people make a living from boxing and it takes alot of hard work and dedication to get to the top of the professional ranks. Boxing has been an Olympic sport since 688 BC, so why should it be banned in 2014? It doesn’t only keep people fit and healthy, but boxers are protected by the rules. There is a referee, and there is also medical staff ready to help. The sport is very popular among those in the working class, and it provides thousands of people with a hobby and a job. Boxing is a true test of a person's physical strength, mental alertness, and courage.

Boxing is a sport, just like football, baseball, basketball, etc. It is violent, but no more violent than football, which encourages people to attack one another. If it were banned it would just go underground, people aren't going to stop participating in and watching a sport that they love to do.

IV. Writing Lab

T: What is an opinion essay? It’s a piece of writing in which we present our personal opinions on a particular topic. Have a look at the next slide. Let’s remind the structure of such an essay. Match the paragraphs and the contents.

V. Speaking

T: These phrases will be useful to give your opinion on the topic.

• I believe/think/feel that…;

• I strongly believe that…;

• In my opinion/view…;

• It seems/appears to me that…;

• To my mind…;

• I (do not) agree that…;

• The way I see it…;

• I am totally against…;

• As far as I am concerned…

•

VII. Reading

Ex.33 p.118

T: Now, let’s read the opinion essay and replace the words/phrases in bold with other appropriate ones. Then answer the questions.

VIII. Listening to the song “We Are the Champions” by QUEEN

Now it’s time to relax a little and enjoy the song “We Are the Champions” by QUEEN.

While you are listening think about the following question:

What is this song about?

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

I’ve paid my dues —

Time after time —

I’ve done my sentence

But committed no crime —

And bad mistakes

I’ve made a few

I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face —

But I’ve come through

We are the champions — my friends

And we’ll keep on fighting — till the end —

We are the champions —

We are the champions

No time for losers

’Cause we are the champions — of the world —

I’ve taken my bows

And my curtain calls –

You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it —

I thank you all —

But it’s been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise —

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race —

And I ain’t gonna lose —

We are the champions — my friends

And we’ll keep on fighting — till the end —

We are the champions —

We are the champions

No time for losers

’Cause we are the champions — of the world
