Ход урока.
I. Teacher: Good afternoon, boys and girls. I hope you are well.
Let’s start our lesson “ Journey to the past and present of the
USA”. We finished our textbook and today we will try to
generalise your knowledge on the material of this book and
use extra information.
II. Teacher: At the beginning of the lesson let’s listen to each
other about the geografical position of the USA. The guide or
geografer will be ...., please go and show everything what the
students will tell us about.( the map of the USA is on the

Student 1: The US is one of the largest countries in the world. It lies in the central part of the
North American Continent.
Student 2; The whole name of the US is the United States of America. There are 50 states
and the District of Columbia.
Student 3; It is washed by the two oceans: the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
Student 4: The country borders on Canada in the north and Mexico in the south.
Student 5: The USA consists of three parts: the Hawaiian Islands, Alaska and the central
part of the USA.
Teacher: You know that every country has its symbols. And what
about the USA? Let’ s speak about them. (The flag is on the screen)
Student 6: The American flag has 13 stripes and 50 states because
there are 50 states in the USA. The flag is red, blue and white and
often called “Stars and Stripes”. Americans love their flag very much and even have special
holiday for it – the “Flag Day” which is celebrated on June 14
th
.
Teacher: In our book we read the text about the history of
the flag. Please, remember some facts from the text (p.175)
and do the test.(7 min.)
Well, let’s continue to speak about national emblems. You know that in England it is a rose
and what about the USA?
Student 7: The bald eagle is the official national symbol. It carries
an olive branch as a sign of peace and arrows as a sign of
strength.
Teacher: When we studied the chapter ‘New York, New York”
in the book, we spoke about the next symbol which is situated
here. It is.....
Student 8: The Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous unofficial USA
symbols. It is a statue of a woman holding up a torch in her right hand. The Statue
symbolizes liberty. France presented it to the USA in 1884.
Teacher: Boys and girls, let’s turn over the pages of the history. Look
at the screen, you’ll see the key-words, you should tell us some stories
from the history.
Student 9: Before the first Europeans came to North America there
were people living who had red skin. The white men called them Red
men or Indians. The Indians tribes were never united. In the woods of
the north-east coast there were many animals and
fish in the river. The Indians hunted and fished.
They also grew corn for their food. In the south
Indians grew tobacco. In the west there were many
buffaloes. From buffalo skins the Indians made
clothes and covered their houses - wigwams.(There
is a picture of a wigwam on the screen).
Teacher: What did the Indian wigwams look like?
Student 10: None of the Indian wigwams had chimneys or windows. A hole in the roof was
supposed to let out the smoke and to let in the light. Much of the smoke found its way into
the eyes and noses of poor Indians. On rainy days, when the smoke was very bad, everbody
in wigwams lay with his face on the ground.
Teacher: That’s why, Indians cooked in the open air. And now
let’s speak about white men who came to America.
Student 11: White men had visited America nearly 500 years
before Columbus arrived. About the year 1000 a strange ship
came to the eastern coast of North America. The men in the ship
had long golden hair, blue eyes and fair skins.They wore armour and carried shields and
spears. They lived in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.They called themselves “Vikings”.( The
picture of a viking is on the screen).
Student 12: Three countries of Europe were interested in the
discovery of America. They were Spain, France and England.
Spain sent Christopher Columbus to discover a new way to the
East. He was a famous Italian explorer.(The photo of the explorer
is on the screen).
Student 1: In 1486 Columbus came to Spain and explained his
idea to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. The Queen promised
Columbus to fit a small expedition to the Indies. He was provided
with 3 ships: the Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Nina.
Student 2: That happened on Friday, October,12.1492. The Santa Maria came to anchor and
Columbus went ashore.He thought it was Asia. The island was one of the Bachamas north of
Cuba not far from the coast of Florida. Columbus named it San Salvador. It was America.
Teacher: And what about the English? When did they travel to America?
Student 3: In November 1620 a small ship “The Mayflower” left England. There were 100
people aboard the ship who were running away from the cruel king. For 7 long weeks the
Mayflower was in the waves and storms of the Atlantic Ocean, and at last the peple saw the
land. It was America. It was autumn. It was raining, and a cold wind was blowing. 16 men
left the Mayflower and went ashore.
Student 4: In the evening they came back to the ship and brought some corn with them. Next
day was Sunday and everybody on the Mayflower had a rest. On Monday some men went
ashore again and this time they took some women with them. The women had to wash the
clothes. Since that time Monday has been a washday in America. During the next 5 weeks
the men from the Mayflower left the ship every day.
Student 5: They were looking for a good place to live. The weather was very cold, more and
more people fell ill, but at last they found a good place. By January 1621, there had already
been 2 streets in the village, and they called it “New Plymouth”.
Teacher: We have spoken about the
history, but it’s not, of course, ererything.

USA”. (10 min.)
