Pupils work in groups. Each group read the text and does the task. Pupils can read texts in the
Student’s Book or on slides № 7, 8, 9.
L’Amse aux Meadows
On a summer’s day nearly 1,000 years ago, a ship from Greenland arrived in Newfoundland,
Canada Leif Eriksson, the captain and his crew liked the warm climate and they decided to stay. They
called the region ‘Vinland’ – the land of wine.
The Skraelings, who were probably Native Canadians, came to fight the Scandinavians. The
Scandinavians left the region and moved to another part of Newfoundland – L’Amse aux Meadows –
where they built houses and workshops. This was the first time that metal was made in the ‘New
World’. We don’t know when they left but with time, grass grew over their houses and workshops.
In 1960, a Norwegian explorer – Helge Instad – found the ‘village’ and many things which were
made by Scandinavians. Today archaeologists are still discovering more about life here 1,000 years
ago.
Head Smashed-In
For over 10,000 years the Native Canadians people and the buffalo lived together in the pains of
Alberta. The Blackfoot was one of the native Canadian tribes. They used the buffaloes for meat,
clothes and for making tepees. They hunted the buffaloes by chasing them over high cliffs.
About 150 years ago, a young Blackfoot wanted to watch the buffalo falling over the cliff so he
stood in a small place inside the cliff. The pile of dead buffaloes became higher and higher. The young
man couldn’t move from his small space and he was killed. When the other men moved the buffaloes
they found the young Blackfoot between the cliff and the buffaloes, with his head smashed in.
Nahanni National Park
The South Nahanni River runs for 322 km. It has many high waterfalls and dangerous rapids. It
is a river of legends. Nearly a hundred years ago many people came here to look for gold. It was a
dangerous place. Bears and wolves live in the valleys and the rapids can carry people away in
seconds. Many people died mysteriously when they were looking for gold in the river – some
disappeared in the river mist. When other adventures found headless bodies in the river they called the
area ‘Deadman Valley’ and ‘Headless Creek’.
After 3-5 min reading pupils check their answers (slide № 10).
Please, divide in three groups, each group chooses the text and read it one more time. The task
for groups to put these factual words in the order they appear in the texts and explain their meanings
(slide №11).
L’Anse aux Meadows: Helge Instad, Leif Eriksson, Newfoundland, 1.000, Vinland Skraelings.
Head Smashed-In: 150, Native Canadian, Blackfoot, Alberta, tepees, 10.000.
Nahanni National Park: Headless Creek, 322, bears, Deadman Valley, legends.
After reading pupils check themselves (slide № 12).

- You will listen to a Canadian tourist guide. She is talking about some more places in Canada
and activities someone can do there. What does she say you can do in each park? You will have to
make some notes about each place. But first think what kinds of activities you would expect to find in
parks.
Teacher can write the list of pupils’ answers on the board. Pupils can then match the activities to
the places while listening.
- Now make four groups. Choose two places in Canada for each group. After listening, groups
will tell us about activities in their places. Listen and make some notes.
After the second listening pupils check their charts (slide № 14) and answer the question: Which
activities would you like to do?
Tapescript
Hello everyone and welcome to Canada! I'm here to tell you about some of the parks you can
visit in Canada. This is a big country so you may want to visit only one or two parks and then come
back again later!
If you like stepping back into the past you could visit the French speaking part of Canada.
Quebec City's fortified city, called ‘La Vieille Capital’ is still completely encircled by its old walls
which were built nearly 400 years ago. You can see uniforms and weapons used by French and
English soldiers 300 years ago.
On the west coast of Newfoundland at L'Anse aux Meadows you can visit a reconstructed Norse
hut. You can learn how they built their ships and how they used metal to make nails, cooking pots arid
jewellery.
If you like sailing, you can take a boat tour in Gros Morne Park into the glaciers or, if you are
experienced, you can take a canoe on the South Nahanni river.
For tourists who like camping there are camp sites in the Gros Morne Park and in the Kluane
National Park. I know that many of you come here to see wild animals. You can see wild goats, sheep,
perhaps wolves and grizzly bears and buffalo in the Rocky Mountain park, Wood Buffalo park and
Kluane and Nahanni parks. Bird watchers must visit Gros Morne, South Nahanni and Anthony Island.
If you like skiing, you can go skiing in the Kluane National Park and in the Rocky Mountains.
For those of you who want to see...

is situated on the north of Northern America, washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific
Ocean in the west, and the Atlantic Ocean in the North and in the north-east by the Baffin Bay and the
Davis Strait. It is a federation of 10 provinces and 3 territories. Every province and every territory has
its own national symbol (slide № 16).

falls are located 27 km north-northwest of Buffalo, New York, 120 km south-southeast of Toronto,
Ontario, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York (slide № 24).
Animals of Canada are similar to those of Northerh Europe and Asia. Among the carnivores are
the ermine sable, wolferine, cayote, the black bear, lunx, wolf, fox and skunk. The polar bear is
