Now, can you guess the theme of our lesson today? (слайд № 1)

It is our project devoted to the Crimea. As you know, the Crimea has unique history. It’s a tourist peninsula. A great number of tourists from different parts of Russia and abroad visit the Crimea.

So ist die Krim. So ist auch die Südküste. Anton Tschechow schrieb darüber:

„Das Meer ist wunderschön, blau und zart wie das Haar eines jungfräulichen Mädchens. Auf seinem Ufer kann man 1000 Jahre leben und keine Sehnsucht haben“
This beautiful peninsula is for guides, and we organize today the Travelling “Welcome to the Crimea”. We are going to exchange experience on the problem of organizing different tours and excursions.

III. Заключительная часть урока
Teacher: And now, as you see the work is over, and so is our lesson. I hope all of you have got very useful information about the Crimea. Maybe, you won’t be tourist managers or guides, but all of you should know the history of your homeland. You should love your native Motherland. Because, as the great poet Byron said “He, who loves not his country, can love nothing”.  
Children! I’m very pleased with your work today. I’ll give you only good and excellent marks. Thank you.
