Ход урока.
1. Организационный момент.
T : Good afternoon, dear children!
I’m very glad to see you again. How are you? OK.
Let’s start our lesson.
Today we are going to sum up the information about four main religions:
Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism.
2. Фонетическая и лексическая зарядка.
T: We know all people believe in one thing or another. Our beliefs very
much depend on our character, background and experience. Do you agree
with me?
P-1: Sure. I can add that some people believe in the supernatural: for them the
world that can’t be explained scientifically is as real as anything. Others will
argue with them and say that they believe only in those things that can be
proved and they rely only on the power of human reasoning.
T: You are quite right.
P-2: In my opinion quite a number of people might call themselves fatalists:
they believe that all events in our lives are predetermined by fate and therefore
cannot be altered.
T: I wholly agree with you. But their opponents are sure to say that people
themselves make their choices and decisions and are responsible for what
happens to them. And my question is: What is religion?
P3: I think religion is a belief in the existence of supernatural power, in God –
the creator and the ruler of the Universe.
T: Thank you. I quite agree with you. I can say (показывая на доску)
“Religion… means the voluntary subjection of oneself god”
Another question is: Why do people all over the world profess some
religion?
P4: As for me, I think that one of the most important functions of any religion is
to help people to explain the unknown. What is the origin of the world? What
happens when we die? And etc.
T: Of course, all of you are right. You know today, there are hundreds of
different religious sects and groups in the world. However, there are four
main religions of the world. Will you name them, please?
P5: Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism.
T: Quite so. What can you say about the existence of these religions?
P6: They are universal and timeless. They insist upon the reality of immaterial
world.
3. Выполнение задания у доски с наглядными
пособиями по соотнесению понятий с определениями.
T: So, here there are words and word combinations, pictures and symbols
with the names of sacred texts, buildings, leaders and religious festivals. I
want you to match them with the names of different religions.

6.Развитие навыков чтения и обсуждения прочитанного.

traditional questions about religious practices and spirituality. What do you
think about it?

P2: A religion can be very helpful in creating a sense of order and stability for the
mind.
T: Absolutely you are right. In the Bible, for an example, one can find many
moral codes such as “Do not kill”. Will you continue?

T: And others. Definitely the Bible teachers us how to act, in the everyday life.
It is the book of wisdom.

what moral code is it about.

T: Thank you, children very much for your interesting conversation.
Today we’ve discussed different items about main world religions.
And now we realize that religion can help people with everyday problems.
“We have learned more about the religions, but this has made us perhaps less
aware of what it is that we mean by “religion”” Wilfred Cantwell Smith once
said.
8. Your home task for the next lesson is to write a composition on topic
“Reasons for religion”.
Thank you. Our lesson is over. See you on Monday. Good-bye.
