1 T greets SS and helps SS announce the topic of the lesson.

A big circle appears on the blackboard with the words of the same blue colour. One of them is red. This word is ‘School’. SSguess the theme of the lesson.

T asks SS to remember everything they know about school and make general statements to put into the basket of ideas.

SS work in small groups and give their ideas.

T asks SS to formulate the problem of the lesson . The problem: Does school affect a pupil only in a positive way?

T asks SS to interpret the notion “idealist” as it is the title of the text.

S1 : In my opinion, idealist is a man, who believes that the world must be perfect.

S2 : I also think so, and I want to add that such people think that everybody should be friendly, kind and honest.

T : Well, I think you are on the right way.

T asks SS to read the words on the blackboard and try to predict the plot of the text .

Ready? Now tell me what the text is going to be about.

P1: I suppose, the text will be about education.

P2: I think it will be about school life.

P3: I admit, the text will be about theft of money at school.

Now, my friends, start reading the text.

T makes pairs and hands out the task sheets, she asks SS to fill them in. T explains the task.

Less gifted SS get “Thin” questions, more gifted SS get “Thick” questions.

1.SS are engaged in intensive

reading.

2. SS fill in Task sheet-1

3.Some pairs report to the whole

class so that everyone can compare the findings.

SS add and share their ideas

T gives comments on the content of the reports.

T : Well, we’ve listened to each

pair today and discussed the problems connected with pat-terns of everyday school life in Britain at that time.

T: Well, it is time you should

work, thinking hard.

Break into small groups and choose the colour of your hat today.

T gives time for work.

As soon as SS are ready, they choose the speaker to present their work.

( there may be more than one S)

S1: Our hat is white. It means that we deal with statistics.

As for place:

- the events take place in one of

Irish schools .

Number of characters:

• a boy called Delaney;

• his classmates, among them Gorman, Spillane, Flanagan;

- Murderer Moloney their teacher.

School life:

• punishment was introduced in schools (Bashing, caning, flogging, lifting by the ears).

Number of events:

• being late for school (punishment);

• theft of money (punishment);

• fight with Gorman (punishment);

• Delaney is late for school again (punishment)-change of his behaviour.

City life :

-early Mass at 7 a.m.

S2: Our hat is yellow. It means that we must think positively.

• Positive is the fact that our main character Delaney liked reading;

• positive is his desire to follow good examples of good people;

• positive is the fact that Delaney could tell right from wrong;

• positive is his wish not to be like others;

• positive is his ability to develop strong will;

• positive was his bravery

to be frank with his teacher;

• positive is the fact that Delaney became flexible, more reasonable.

S3: .We have a black hat on. It

means that we must find as many negative facts as possible.

So,

• school got Delaney into trouble;

• cruel rules of punishment were introduced in school;

• children were treated badly;

• pupils never sympathized with each other;

• pupils didn’t see how awful their behaviour was;

• pupils betrayed each other, sucked to the teacher, stole money;

• teachers at school could cry at the children;

• pupils were often late for school;

• their school life was un –interesting.

S4: We have a blue hat on. It means that we’ll try to analyse the events of the story. We are certain that Delaney is a boy, who wants to believe in justice, in happiness for everybody. He wants to be kind, noble, brave. And he is ready to be a real hero in life. Romantic stories about school influenced him very much. But he meets real life, which is ugly and terrible. He tries to be noble. But the question comes :”What is the use of being noble among

cowards?” And he changes his behaviour. We believe that he will remain noble in his heart. But he will behave in the future

according to the life circum -

stances.

S5: We have a red hat on It means that we are going to speak about emotions we come across in this text.

• The whole atmosphere of the text is depressing;

• bad behaviour of his classmates caused pain and shame in the heart of Delaney;

• Delaney is frightened when he is late for school;

• Delaney suffers when his classmates mock at him;

• all his fellows are shocked when they see their master’s cruelty;

• Delaney is in panic when he is late for classes;

• Delaney’s fellows despise him as they think that Delaney wants to show off.

S6: We have a green hat on. It means that we are to think something original . We’ve decided to create a picture because children like reading books with pictures. We want to suggest you our ideas. In the picture it would be reasonable

to draw a big figure of Master

Moloney. His face must be strict, angry and furious because they are his natural features of character. He must have a cane in his hands. In the other hand he has a book of romantic stories. It is a very important detail, as everything began with this book. The other figure in the picture must be a boy. His face is noble, his eyes are sad and full of tears. His cheeks are red as he feels shame for the actions of his teacher.

Delaney stands apart from his

сlassmates: he can’t belong to the group of his fellows.

(SS can exchange their ideas)

T thanks all the SS for their interesting work and asks a S

to take out the ideas put into the basket at the beginning of the lesson.

SS compare their ideas with those they learnt from the text filling the Knowledge Chart

SS find solutions to the problem.

Now I want you to think of some other fields of everyday

life in Britain that can present interest for you.

SS tell the class what they learned at the lesson (Knowledge Chart1) and about what they would like to know

in the next lesson (K. Ch.2)

T helps SS make their

thoughts more organized .

T: Now let’s make pairs and choose any topic you want to

prepare for the Culture Wallchart for the next lesson. The class may divide the topics into sub –topics .

T : You may use material

from the Internet and the books I’ve brought to you.

SS work with the lists of
