I. Мотивация (How to draw students’ attention to the subject of the
lesson).
When the students enter the classroom the teacher asks them to do a task
before taking places. Every student gets an image which must be put on the
magnet board with Good luck and Bad luck columns according to its
meaning. The students are asked to make the right choice (they get
pictures of a horse-shoe, a broken mirror, a black cat, a rabbit etc.). One by
one they place pictures on the board.
After completing the task students sit at the desks in groups of five. Now
the teacher invites everybody to watch a MisterDuncan video in order
them to understand what the topic of the lesson is :
