Ход урока
I. Организационный момент.
Teacher: Good morning, everybody! Glad to see you, dear friends! Let's start our English
lesson. The theme of our lesson is St. Patrick’s Day. This is an Irish holiday. Many English
speaking countries and other countries celebrate it too.
Let's listen to report of the pupil.
Leading (Ведущий):
March 17 is St. Patrick's Day. It's a national Irish holiday. But many people who
immigrated to the United States have come from Ireland. Today, Irish descendants in the
United States put on a noisier and bigger St. Patrick's Day celebration than the people in
Ireland. Every year on March 17 or the preceding Saturday, cities with large population of
Irish Americans have parades. Green is one of the national colors of Ireland and also one of
the signs of spring. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel.
People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons and hats. Many American bars even serve green
beer on that day!
II. Аудирование с общим пониманием основного содержания.
Teacher: Please, listen to me very attentively and then answer the questions:
St. Patrick
The person who was to become St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Wales
about AD 385. When he was 16, he was sold into slavery to Ireland where he was a shepherd
for 6 years. While in captivity he studied and turned to religion. He escaped slavery and later
returned to Ireland as a missionary, determined to convert Ireland to Christianity. He used
the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
Patrick was quite successful at winning converts. And this fact upset the Celtic Druids.
Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. He traveled throughout Ireland,
establishing monasteries across the country. He also set up schools and churches which
would aid him in his conversion of the Irish country to Christianity.
His mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years. After that time, Patrick retired to County
Down. He died on March 17 in AD 461. That day has been commemorated as St. Patrick's
Day ever since.
Teacher: Now tell me please:
- When was St. Patrick born?
- What happened when he was sixteen? Why did he return to Ireland?
- Why were the Celtic Druids upset by St. Patrick?
- What else did St. Patrick do in Ireland?
- Why St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17?
III. Обсуждение мифов, связанных с Св.Патриком.
Teacher: There are many myths about St. Patrick. Here are some. Let’s read looking at the
blackboard:
Just myths…so they say
Patrick used a shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
Patrick drove the snakes out of the country.
Patrick was the first to preach Christianity in Ireland.
Leading: Nowadays millions of people all over the world celebrate the parade devoted to St.
Patrick’s Day. On this day the whole world become an Irish one. An Irish people and their
friends remember national music and dances, performances and merry celebrations. But the
first of all - parades with the parade of brass bands, extravagant costumes, folk art and
smiling faces. On this day an American man become an honorary Irish. All around green,

IV. Декламация стихов, посвящённых Дню Св.Патрика и его символам.
Teacher: There are a lot of poems about the clover. It is a symbol of this holiday. Let’s listen
to the pupils.
V. Чтение с полным пониманием прочитанного.
Leading: St. Patrick’s Day has a lot of pagan motives. One of these heroes is a Leprechaun.
An Irish legend.
Leprechauns have also become self-appointed guardians of ancient treasure (left by the
Danes when they marauded through Ireland), burying it in crocks or pots. This may be one
reason why leprechauns tend to avoid contact with humans whom they regard as foolish,
flighty (and greedy?) creatures. If caught by a mortal, he will promise great wealth if allowed
to go free. He carries two leather pouches. In one there is a silver shilling, a magical coin that
returns to the purse each time it is paid out. In the other he carries a gold coin which he uses
to try and bribe his way out of difficult situations. This coin usually turns to leaves or ashes
once the leprechaun has parted with it. However you must not take your eye off him, for he
can vanish in an instant.
VI. Разгадывание кроссворда и загадок, посвящённых празднику.
Teacher: And the last task is to solve a crossword and guess the riddles.
VII. Подведение итогов.
