Ход урока
1. Организационный момент
Good morning, boys and girls.
I’m glad to see you here.
How are you?
How’s your life?
2. Соотнесение праздников и их названий
- To start our lesson, I propose you to look at the blackboard. Here you
can see some pictures with holidays and the names of these holidays. Your task
is to match holidays with their names.
(Дети соотносят праздники и их названия)
Thank you very much. As you know on February 14 th we celebrate St.
Valentine’s Day. And today we are going to speak about this holiday.
3. Работа над вопросам “Why do girls like boys?” и “Why do
boys like girls?”
St. Valentine’s Day is the holiday of love so now let’s try to think: “Why
do girls like boys?” and “Why do boys like girls?” I shall give you some sheets
of paper with the sayings of British boys and girls about their preferences. Your
task is to look through them and then the girls will tell us why they personally
like boys and the boys will tell us why they like girls.
4. Символы праздника.
St. Valentine’s Day is not a legal holiday. This means that business and
schools are open. But St. Valentine’s Day is still a very special day. As any
other holiday, St. Valentine’s Day has its own symbols. All of them are
international and known all over the world. Now let’s read about meanings of
these symbols.
St.Valentine’s Day 9 класс
5. Идиомиг со словам “heart”
Your heart beats faster when you are in love. This is why the heart is
considered to be the centre of our emotions and is always used to illustrate love.
Being in love makes a special “high” feeling. Your blood pressure rises,
bringing more blood to the surface of the skin. Your hair and skin improve in
texture and your voice becomes deeper. Your immune system is also stronger,
making you shine with happiness.
And it’s no wonder that there are so many idioms with the word “heart”.
And here on the papers you can see only some of them. Your task is to read
these set expressions and their translation and to make up your own examples.
Example: For my heart, I’ll never do it.
6. Аудирование текста с последующим выполнением
послетекстовых упражнений.
As any other holiday St. Valentine’s Day has its own origin. There are
some legends on how this day came to existence. Now I propose you to listen to
one of such legends, to understand it and to do some exercises on it.
7. Суеверия Дня Святого Валентина.
All young girls want to look into their future. And British girls are not an
exception. On this day they try to tell fortunes by the birds they see first to know
what their husband will be.
So if a girl sees a blackbird (дрозд), her husband will be priest;
a robin ( снегирь) – a sailor;
a goldfinch ( or a yellow bird)(щегол) – a rich man;
a bluebird (синица) – a happy man;
a sparrow ( воробей) – a poor man.
But if the girl sees a woodpecker (дятел), it means that she will never get
married.
- There are some other superstitions.
- In some countries a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a
young man. If she keeps the gift, it means that she will marry him.
- If you cut an apple in two halves and count how many seeds are inside,
you will also know how many children you will have.
8. Поздравления в День Св. Валентина.
On any holiday we congratulate our relatives and close friends. And the
holiday of love is not an exception. On the 14th of February millions of people
receive Valentine cards – paper or electronic, sentimental or comic, in verse or
in prose.
St.Valentine’s Day 9 класс
A card is obviously a must whether you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, a
brother or a sister or just want to send a message to smb you know.
There’s one problem – to sign your Valentine card or not. But the element
of mystery makes St. Valentine’s Day so magical. There’s nothing in the world
so exiting as the idea of getting a love massage and then trying to guess who has
send it.
British people have a lot of funny congratulations in verse. Some of them
are written on the blackboard, others are printed on the sheets of paper. Now I
propose you to read them and choose the congratulation you could send your
boyfriend/girlfriend, your parents or your teachers.
9. Тест на романтичность.
As you know St. Valentine’s Day is the most romantic of all holidays; and
it’s no wonder, that there are some tests on how romantic you are.
If you want to know it, take a piece of paper and a pen and write down
Yes or No for each question.
1. Does music make you ever cry?
2. Do you believe in love at first sight?
3. Do you enjoy beautiful sunsets?

11. Подведение итогов.
Valentine‘s Day
Valentine's Day happens every year on February 14, Red and pink hearts as
well as funny cupids decorate mops, offices and classrooms. Children often
make cards to give to their friends and their families. Adults make or buy
special cards to give to the people they love. Valentine's Day is not a legal
holiday. This means that businesses and schools are open.
But how did this day appear? There are some legends. And here is one of
them. St.Valentine was a Christian priest who lived in the third century. At
that time, the Roman government controlled a big part of the world.
The Roman government needed many soldiers to protect its lands. The
Emperor Claudius II decided that married men could not be good soldiers
because they wanted to stay at home with their wives and children. He made a
very strange law that said young men were not allowed to marry. He also said
that any priest who married a young couple would be put to death.
A priest named Valentine disobeyed the Emperor. He secretly married
many young couples. When the Emperor found out it, he put Valentine to
prison. Valentine was beheaded for his disobedience on February 14. Since
'valentine had helped lovers, the day he died became a day for people to
express love for others.
