Steps
I Greeting
Good morning children! I’m glad to see you at our lesson! Sit down please. Today we’ll work on the vocabulary. You’ll express your options on weather signs, guess the meanings of the words. We’ll work on the text. And you’ll learn a lot of interesting information.
II Warm up
Look at the blackboard, here you can see an ancient saying. We had learned this saying. Read this saying and after reading you should give your options. Let’s read.
P.: “We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those, who can’t speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees.”
Let’s discuss it in groups and then give your options. You have 3 minutes for discussion.
So what is the topic of the lesson, today? (Environment)
III Weather Wisdom and Sayings.
Nature has always helped people. Ancient people weren’t scientists, but they lived and got the food. They lived in accord with nature, though they had neither weather forecast nor weathermen, they guessed the weather by weather wisdoms and sayings. Now say what weather sayings do you know. Who has a cat? Do you know sayings about a cat?
P.: I know “If the cat hides his face in paws
Fine will be the day”
Well. And do you know weather wisdoms about bees?
P.: “If bees stay at home, rain will soon come
If they fly, fine will be the day.”
T.: Thank you. Now I’ll give the cards. You should read the other weather wisdoms and remember them.
1. “When sea birds fly to land
A storm is at hand.”
2. “If chickens roll in the sand
Rain is at hand.”
3. “Ice in November to walk a duck,
The winter will be all rain and muck.”
4. “Onion’s skin very thin,
Mild winter coming in.
Onion’s skin thin and tough
Coming winter cold and rough.”
When you come home, please see the onion’s skin, and tell me about it at the next lesson. Go on.
IV. The interesting information
Say what language do we speak.
P.: We speak English.
I forgot what is the capital of Great Britain. Help me, please.
p.: It’s London.
What problems are there in London?
If it was written in English it could be said London in smog not in fog. Now we’ll explore the difference between fog and smog. Girls, please go to the blackboard and tell us about fog and smog.
Go on. I hope you remember new words and what they means.
V. The international words.
And let’s go on working on words on the topic “Environment”. This task will be interesting for you. You should guess the word by its meaning. Some words will be understood easily , because they are international. Let’s start with them.
