T: I see you are in high feather and ready to work. I would like to recite you a short verse.

“A day runs after a day.
Years go fast.
Soon my grandson will ask:
“My dear Elly,
Tell me about the past”.

T: Where can we get the information about the past?

PP: We’ll talk about the past.

“Tell me about the past” is the theme of our lesson.
The past is now another land,
far beyond my reach…

T: Can you translate the epigraph of our lesson?
T: We’ll try to lift the curtain and know something about the past.
T: What questions can we discuss? Fill in a mental card.

T: We’ll talk about the objects and houses of the past, make projects.

  1. objects;
  2. houses;
  3. project.

IV. Развитие навыков диалогической и монологической речи.

T: Look at the monitor. What is it? Name the objects of the past (предметы на слайде – печь, прялка, самовар, лапти, веретено, люлька, свеча, ухват и др.).

If the objects could talk, what could they say about? Make up dialogues. Ask an object about itself. You have one minute to repeat (диалоги учащихся от лица предмета из прошлого).

Example:

- What are you made of?
- I’m made of a stone.
- What are you used for?
- I’m used for heating and preparing food.
- Are you useful?
- Yes? I’m. People couldn’t live without me. (It’s a Russian stove)

Now tell as an object. Imagine that you are a cradle, a Russian stove, a fire place and etc.

V. Аудирование.

Listen to the conversation between two objects and try to guess what they are.

P: Oh, no! Another mistake!
R: Don’t worry, I’ll help you this time. But please, be more careful. I’m getting worn out.
P: Hey! Don’t blame me. I mean it isn’t really my fault.
R: Whose fault is it, then?
P: Sasha’s. That boy’s spelling is terrible!
R: He’d better start learning how to spell correctly, or I’ll disappear.
P: Don’t feel bad. With all the writing he’s doing at school, I’m disappearing too. Neither of us has long to live.

T: Do these objects belong to the past?
PP: No, because in the past people wrote by feathers. The rubber was not used.

VI. Релаксация.

It’s time to relax.
Stand up and sing our song.
Are you in? Come out!
Look about! Look about!
It’s a magic day. Let’s go this way.
To the past away from the present.
In the past it was very pleasant!
I’m not afraid of ghost,
I’m not afraid of getting lost!

Life in York

People looked as we look now. Both men and women wore jewellery and bright clothes – red, yellow, blue, purple and green. Men wore shirts, tunics and trousers. Women wore long dresses. They lived in small houses. There were not much furniture, only a bed, a table, stools and shelves. The fireplace was the centre of family life. They didn’t often go to the market. They ate porridge and apples. They collected blackberries and nuts. Beef was the most important food. Freshwater fish was very popular. The people were not rich and they worked a lot. But they found time to relax. They liked to sing and dance and play musical instruments.

Life in Anastasievo

T: Do you know what Anastasievo is?
PP: Anastasievo is an old name of Bondary.

The houses were small. They had thatched roofs. Log - houses were made of wood and decorated with wood carving in Anastasievo. The construction of a house had been started with a stone stove. It was used for warming, cooking dinner and sleeping in cold seasons. Each house had got wooden and loam tableware. There was a table, benches, a chest for clothes, a locker for utensils, icons in the red corner, palaty for sleeping. Each house had got some additional constructions like “seny”, “svetyolka”, “podpol”. Women wore a long skirt, a blouse, an apron and a shawl. Men wore broad trousers and a shirt. Both men and women wore boast shoes or “lapty”, they wore valenki in winter.
