III. The end of the lesson

New vocabulary from the text "Herbalism"

Open your books at page 26. Let's do ex. 1. Match the following therapies with their definition.

Ex.3 p 27 Cover the text.Discuss the sentences below with your partner. Do you agree or disagree with the ideas.

Ex.4 p 27 Read the text.

Your task is to work at the text with the INSERT method and I hope that your reading will be ready effective. I remind that you were to fill in the table:

V I know this fact.

+ New information.

? Not clear, have questions.

If you know the given information-you put a V (tick)opposite the sentence.

If the information was new for you-you marked it with a +.

If something was not clear to you-you were to put an? Mark and ask questions.

Show me your marks and notes. Let's begin with the first column.

What was familiar to you?

What was unfamiliar, new for you?

Have you got questions to the text? What was not clear to you?

Ok, students, you've managed doing this task, I'm pleased with you.

Make up the questions according to the text.

Let's do ex. 5 p 27. Match the following words with the words in bold in the text.

Let's try to retell one of the parts of the text "Herbalism". If pupils cannot retell the text at once, I can use method "Jigsaw" for better understanding of the text.

Method "Jigsaw"

1. Division into groups ("family" group - 1,2,3,4.)The numbers of groups corresponds to the number of parts into which the text is divided.

2. Installation: by the end of the lesson, each team member needs to understand all of the text and to know all of it, but to spell it to each other to be in parts and so everyone is responsible for the development of the whole group of his part of the text.

3. Division by expert groups (1+1+1+1, 2+2+2+2, 3+3+3+3, 4+4+4+4)

4. Reading of the text and its discussion in the expert group.

5. Work in family groups on the content of the text.

6. Presentation of the text. Retelling the text.

1. Reflection

It's the end of the lesson and the time for reflection, students. We have discussed much today. Did you like our lesson? I wonder what feelings and thoughts you've got now. Please, express your opinion.
