Учитель: Look! What a handsome man is coming to us!
Появляется ученик, который рассказывает о себе:
I was born on the 25 of January in 1759in Alloway. My father was a farmer and in my childhood I had to work in the fields to help my father. My mother taught me old songs and ballads, when she was not to tired she used to tell us folk-tales. Although my father was poor, his greatest wish was to give his children the best education, and while we were young, he began to teach us to read and write. When I was 6, my brother Gilbert and I, went to school at Alloway but after some time the school was closed. My father invited a teacher John Murdock. He taught us poetry of famous English writers. When I was 13, I wrote the first poem. Then I wrote many poems- beautiful and tender songs, angry verses, humorous poems, lyrics about friendship and peace.
Учитель: Who is that man? Yes you are right, it is Robert Burns. Do you know any poems by Burns?
Один из учеников читает “My Heart`s in the Highlands”
My heart`s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart`s in the Highlands a chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart`s in the Highlands wherever I go.Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North;
The birthplace of Valour, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
Учитель: You have recited the poem perfectly well. And do you know any songs by Burns?
It is “Auld Lang Syne” Let`s sing it together. Ребята поют песню.
Учитель: What other writers of Scotland do you know? Look at the portraits of famous English and American writers and choose those who are Scotsmen.
Answers: R. Burns, W. Scott, R.L .Stevenson, A. Cronin.
Учитель: Robert Burns became a symbol of Scotland. Scotland has some other symbols look at the pictures of flags and plants of the UK and choose Scottish ones.
The symbol of Scotland, as you have correctly chosen, is a thistle. Why was this plant chosen as a symbol? Let`s watch a scene prepared by our students.
-You see, the Norsemen landed on the east coast of Scotland, we`ll have to defend our land.
- Let`s pitch our camp behind the river Tay and wait for them.
- Right. We are very tired.
- Look there are no guards to protect the camp, we can cross the Tay and slaughter the Scots in the sleep.
- Take off your shoes as to make less noise. Oh, what a pain!
- Dreadful plant! I have stepped on it!
- Wake up! The Norsemen are here!
- Let`s fight!
Учитель: Since that time the thistle has become the national emblem of Scotland. Scotland is called a country of whisky, golf and castles. Your next task is to read the story of whisky and find 10 lies in it.
The Story of Whisky
The national drink of Scotland is whisky. Whisky was first made in Scotland in 1749. For many years whisky was hidden in the country because the people who made it did not want to pay taxes. The buildings of the whisky distilleries are black an can be easily seen in the Highlands of Scotland.
Scottish whisky is made from potatoes. Whisky is put in plastic bottles for 2 to 12 years. Whisky is a beautiful green colour. The taste of a good whisky depends on barley, the mountain water and weather.
There are 2 kinds of whisky- malt and blended whisky. Blended whisky is a mixture of different whiskies. A malt whisky is made from only one whisky and is older than a blended whisky. A blended whisky is better than a malt whisky.
Whisky is drunk on the 31 of December to celebrate the New Year. Scottish people call this holiday Hogmanay. Whisky is also drunk on the 25 of January to celebrate the death of R. Burns. He was Scotland`s most famous politician.
It is not good to put cola or ice into whisky. Some people add a little water to their whisky.
Answers: 10 lies are:
- 1749- no, earlier
- to pay taxes- no taxes
- buildings of whisky distilleries are not black, they are white
- whisky is made from barley
- it is put into glass bottles
- whisky is of brown colour
- it does not depend on weather
- a malt whisky is older so it is better
- on the 25 of January Scotsmen celebrate R. Burns birthday
- R. Burns was a poet, he was not a politician.
And as for us we live in Mari El and we have a lot of traditions too. One of them is to wear Mari national clothes. Your next task is to compare the Mari and the Scots, decide what they have different and what similar.
Ученик: Of course, we live in different countries. Scotsmen have very interesting costumes. They wear a bonnet, socks, shoes, a kilt. The kilt is a skirt, worn by both men and women. Kilts are made of tartan. Tartan is special cloth of different colour. There are about 300 clans in Scotland each clan has its own tartan. As for the Mari people, they wear white shirts and dresses with embroidery, men wear hats and women wear shawls, both wear bast-shoes. But the most interesting thing is that The Mari and the Scots have very alike musical instrument: a bagpipe.
Учитель: Look at the Mari national instrument, it is called “shouvyr”. Your task is just now to listen to the sounds of the Mari bagpipe and the Scottish bagpipe. Identify which one is the first on the tape and which is the second. Звучат записи мелодий волынок. Участники стараются узнать их звуки.
