I. Introduction

1.   Greeting

T: How are you today? I hope everything is O.K. 

T: What about you, Dima?

D: I'm all right.

T: I'm glad to hear you are fine. Nastya, does anything trouble you?

N: Nothing at all. I'm eager to start our lesson.

T: So, let's begin our lesson. I hope you'll be creative and active during our today's lesson.

2.   Introductory Talk

T: To begin with, I want to draw your attention to the quotation on the blackboard: "He, who loves not his land, can love nothing". These wonderful words belong to the great poet G.G. Byron. His love to his land was deep and passionate. He could not imagine his life without his Highlands. He was so devoted to it, for him there was nothing like his Homeland. I think these Byron's words can be the motto of our lesson.

3.    Presentation of the topic and the aim of the lesson

The topic of our today's lesson is "My native land". It is devoted to our little Motherland – the village of Andriyivka

The poem read by the pupil of the form Dasha Chige

Земля моя, земля найкраща в світі!
Я твій маленький, тонкий пагінець.
Без тебе я ніде не зможу жити,
Для мене ти і ненька, і мудрець.

Земля моя, мій милий рідний краю,
Тебе я в щасті й горі пізнаю.
Твою красу всім серденьком вбираю
І хочу знать історію твою.

Я хочу знати всі твої джерела
І рідну мову, щирості слова.
Бо ще жива культура, ще не вмерла,
Бо Україна — вічна і жива!

Земля моя, земля найкраща в світі,
Ось тут моє коріння і рідня.
Бо тут мого дитинства сонце світить,
Я тут росту і тут живу щодня.

Земля моя, прекрасна Андріївка

Твоєю піснею я серденько живлю.
Для мене ти і вічна, і єдина,
І я тебе всім серденьком люблю!

My earth, the earth is the best in the world!

I'm your small, thin sprig.

Without you, I will not be able to live anywhere 

For me, you are a mother and a sage.

My land, my dear native land,

I know you in happiness and sorrow.

Your beauty with all my heart is absorbed

And I want to know your story.

I want to know all your sources

And native language, sincerity of words.

Because the living culture is still alive, it's not dead yet

Because Ukraine is eternal and alive!

My earth, the earth is the best in the world,

Here's my roots and relatives.

Because here my childhood shines the sun

I am here growing up and I live here every day.

My land is beautiful Andriyivka

I love your heart with my heart.

For me you are eternal and united

And I love you all the heart!

The problem of the lesson is to prove that our region is really one of the most important places of our country. We have also to give ideas how to make Andriyivka  better because it is our little Motherland. We are the pupils of our school. We are proud of our village and school.  Listen  to the story of our school.

T. Storytelling.

Almost a century and a half above the village sound of school bells.

Autumn off-road, winter snowfalls or overgrown with spring ridges went to school children, because they sought knowledge, lively thoughts.

 It was not just their ways to the school, it was a road to the future.

More than one generation grew up in its walls, spread its wings to fly. Developed, developed and it.  The school lived and worked, because faith in the goodness and creativity in man is the cornerstone that underlies its formation. Like people, has its own biography:

Year of  the birth-1849.

Nationality-UKRAINIAN, because it sounds native language - "the best intimate conductor of thoughts, feelings, impressions."

II. Warming-up

T: So, I offer you to speak about the village in order to increase your ability to speak English. What do you think about your native land?  Talk, please, about our village.

P1. Dima: My native land ... A cherry garden flourishing in spring, a quiet river, a field of sunflowers that stretches of beyond the horizons.

P2. Danyl: My native land ... The street where my friends and I live, the school we all go to, the old park we used to play in when we were kids.

P3. Illya: And now I want to recite a poem "Native land" by Volodymyr Symonenko (Photo 2)

Native land of mine! My mind is brighter,

Tenderness and love in my soul grow,

When your mighty hopes and dreams uplifting.

 In my life here, strong and steady flow.

You are bread for me, my aim for living.

From your soul I came and shall return.

And beneath your high domed heavens.

Life's hard lesson my young soul did learn.

People tricking you from love reserved.

People who concern of yours avoid.

May Earth's gravity betray them,

May they sink obscure into the void.

T: Thank you. The Zaporizhzhian Region is a wonderful place to live in, enjoy its beauty, share the glory of the past days and great changes that are taking place now.
