Ход урока.
I. Оргмомент. 2-3 min.
Hello, students, glad to see you. … How are you today? … Ok. Sit down, please,
and get ready to work. As for me, I feel like sleeping today morning, but you know
that adults have no right to relax at work, so, let’s start.
First of all, look at the blackboard and try to guess, what we are going to speak
about today. … What can you see on the blackboard? (the st-ts try to predict the
theme, and I help them).
Yes, you are right, it’s easy to guess, that we shall speak about subcultures, youth
groupings, their typical features. But we shall also speak about why teens come
together in groups. I hope we shall see some presentations today, we shall have
some listening, and reading. You’ll see.
II. To begin with let’s set up a rule. You should begin each of your answers with a
conversational phrase. Here are some of them:
In my opinion, I agree that …, I disagree that, To my mind…, If
I’m not mistaken…

Let’s have some practice.
Look at the picture and say what it is associated with. A reading man, a cool car, a
smart phone, a millionaire, a party. ….5 min. So, I see you understand me well.
And it’s time to come to subcultures, but first of all, lexis. You will get some
phrases, some of them about teens, some are from other topics, some are unknown.
You will work in pairs, in POSITION #1, and choose the words that refer to the
youngsters lifestyle and problems. If you see an unknown word, stick it on the
blackboard.
Causes, results in, leads to, mental maturity , aggressiveness, frequent, lack of
money, easy life, rich, richness, out-of-date clothes, express identity, unacceptable,
youth subcultures, come together in groups, dependence, violent, violence, smoke,

III. So, I think, you are ready to remember your homework. At home you read about
youth subcultures. You will work in POSITION #1, and discuss the most typical
features of the representatives of the subculture you are lucky to choose at
random. Please, make a list of features.…(Я на карточках пишу субкультуры
хиппи, рокеров, хакеров, скинхедов, байкеров, рейверов, (модов), ребята
тянут одну из карточек и обсуждают в парах основные черты той или иной
субкультуры.)
3 min.
Now change, POSITION# 2. Tell the new partner about your subculture and listen
to information of his or her subculture. Remember it, you will tell it then.3 min.
Control 2 students.
IV. Now we have some information about one of the most popular subcultures about
Goths. (presentation) 3-4 min.
Another short presentation will tell us about hackers. Alina -3 min.
OK. Thank you girls. Did you like the presentations? Was it interesting to learn
about the roots of subcultures?
But still, why do teens come together in groups. What are the reasons? I would like to
listen to your ideas. You are welcome. Remember to use the phrases of the lesson.
(They have common interests in music, clothes style, problems). 1-2 min.

V. I noticed one very important word – PROBLEMS. Let us think what kind of
problems here are.
VI. You are going to listen to the text about teens and their problems. Write down all
the types of problems you will hear in the text according to the classification.
Why do teenagers come together in groups and join different
subcultures?
Well, if to speak about teens, they stand somewhere between childhood
and adulthood. In other words, they are no longer kids, but not adults yet. On one
hand, their body grows rapidly. So teens want to be regarded like adults, they
demand freedom and independence, they protest against the parents’ control and
care, they try to express their own identity and show off. That’s why teens try out all
sort of options: they join different youth groups, wear shocking clothes, start
smoking, drinking alcohol and even taking drugs. Some try sex at the age of 14-15.
Not very clever, isn’t it?
On the other hand, by that moment of their life teens have not reached mental
maturity yet. Sexual maturity and mental immaturity lead to inner conflicts, to
growth of aggressiveness, to frequent quarrels with parents and teachers, sometimes
even to escaping from home. At that time the youngsters’ manners can be rude, the
language – rough. Sometimes teens even can’t understand themselves – they don’t
really know what makes them be so aggressive. But in fact there are several types of
problems teens usually have: as I have already said, physiological problems, social,
financial, psychological, and health problems too.
Some teens have problems in communication with their mates because their clothes
or appearance are not so bright. Sometimes the reason can be lack of money for
fashionable clothes, sometimes parents don’t want to buy the types of clothes teens
like, thinking they are unacceptable. Some parents don’t understand, that clothes are
extremely important for young people, as they are their pass to the new community.
If a boy or a girl has out-of -date fashion style, their mates can make a fool of him
or her. It leads to social isolation, and a youngster can join some aggressive group of
teens to revenge for the offence. Nobody likes to be unsuccessful.
PROBLEMS OF THE YOUNGSTERS
social
physiological
financial
health
psycological

Another problem is lack of pocket money, and financial dependence of teens. If
parents give them money, they want to know, on what the money is spent. And
sometimes don’t give money at all. Some teens want to find a job, but teens are too
young and it’s not easy for them to do it. So, some of teens start selling things from
home or even, sell drugs.
At the same time teachers make them obey the school rules and conform to
society’s standards. Lack of respect to the youngsters’ opinions and vision of the
world can result in rebellion and violence at school. As a result, many teens escape
from home, from school and join groups of like-minded youngsters who can share
their fashion, interests and ideas. In groups young people feel more confident and
more significant.
Students listen to the text, consult in groups of two, write down the problems they’ve
heard on the blackboard. (На листах А-4 пишут разные типы проблем и
вывешивают их на доску.) 5 min. Now you will get the scripts and listen to the text
again and name the concrete problems of teens, use your pens if you want.
Compare your results in groups of 4. Write the problems on the paper and stick
them under the classes of problems. 5 min.
VII. So, it’s time to make a short story about teens and their problems. Work in
pairs.
Plan of your story.
1. What is a subculture.
2. Types of subcultures.
3. Typical features of one of them.
4. Why teens come together in groups.
5. The most common problems of teens.
Control 1-2 st-ts.
VIII. I would like to remember one more problem – it is a problem of unhappy love.
Many teens fall in love, but soon feel disappointed and lonely, miserable and
frustrated. One of the songs of Madonna is about it. “YOU’LL SEE”.( I give the
students the words of the song).
a) Listening.
b) Phonetic exercises (all by myself, all on my own, all you’ve done, you’ve
destroyed my faith in love)
c) Reading in pairs.1-2 control.
d) Singing.
e) Questions: What have you done all by yourself?(Students one by one tell it).
(I have made a report all by myself, I have done my homework all by myself, I have
cooked dinner all by myself…).

The song:
You think that I can’t live without your love, you’ll see.
You think that I can’t go on another day.
You think I have nothing without you by my side.
You’ll see somehow, some way.
You think that I can never laugh again, you’ll see.
You think that you’ve destroyed my faith in love.
You think, after all you’ve done
I’ll never find my way back home,
You’ll see somehow, some day.
All by myself, I don’t need anyone at all.
I know, I’ll survive. I know, I’ll stay alive.
All on my own, I don’t need anyone this time.
It will be mine. No one can take it from me. …You’ll see.
How does the girl in the song feel? Do you think she will feel OK some day? What
do you think of her boy friend? Let’s look through the list of words and try to give
him some characteristic. (Cruel, with a cold heart, indifferent to her love, hurt her
feelings…)
IX. No doubt, we feel the girl’s offence, and feel sorry for her. But it is good,
that teens express their feelings in songs and poems instead of aggressive
and violent actions. At home you learnt a poem of a teenager from Russia.
Let’s refresh it in your memory. First, recite the poem in position #2.
Control – 1student.
But I think, you are able to make short poems yourself. Let’s have a try to
make a 2-4 line poem about problems of young people.
To help you, I can give you some beginnings. You can work in groups of 4 or 2
as you like.
a) Sometimes I can be rough and rude, (and show aggressive attitude).
b) I often quarrel with my mates (some teens), …….(and even can go to extremes)
c) Because of teacher who demands ……..(Obey the rules, fulfill commands)
d) Because of parents’ control, …..(who every day play their ROLE).
e) I dream to have my own style, ….. (Stay free from standards Distant mile)
f) To find somewhere like-minded friends, ….(Who really share my interests)
g) I want to have just some respect, … (and on my own always act)
h) Be free from everyday routine, …(I can’t stand boredom – for I’m TEEN).
As you can see it is not so difficult to write poems. If you want to practice at
home, you are welcome.
