4) Загадки. Описание жанра – название. Слайд 3
What genre is it? I’ll describe the type, and you try to guess.
a) It can last for months and even years, the action is rather slow. If you miss one series, or even ten, you find that the plot has not developed much. The characters can be neither clever nor interesting, but they become like a part of your family. (a soap opera)
b) It provokes excitement and nervous tension into audience. It keeps people unsure what is going to happen. (a thriller)
c) It is about naval, air or land battles during the time of armed conflicts. (a war film)
And now try to describe the genre yourselves but don’t name it so that your classmates could guess it. (I can give you the names of the genres or you can choose them yourselves)
(a western, a fantasy, a romance, a musical, a historical film, a blockbuster, a sci-fi)
5) What films do you like and don’t you like? слайд 4,5,6,7
In 2014 and 2015 Hollywood studios produced some new movies. I have not seen them all yet. I think neither have you. Imagine that you have a few DVD with new films you haven’t seen.
You have found movie reviews in the Internet. Please read them and decide what film to watch. You should choose the film suitable for all members of your group. Explain your choice.
Make up the dialogue and come to the agreement.
Чтение описаний новых фильмов, выбор, объяснение.
Примечание для учителя: на момент проведения урока выбранные фильмы были действительно новыми, они не были знакомы учащимся, поэтому им приходилось делать свой выбор, опираясь только на описание.
