Урок по английскому языку в 10 классе «Легко ли быть молодым?» (Is it easy to be young?)

ПОЯСНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ЗАПИСКА К УРОКУ

Урок " The choice is yours!" продолжает работу над изучением учебной темы "Is it easy to be young?" (Легко ли быть молодым? Проблемы современной молодежи в России и странах изучаемого языка.) по учебнику В.П. Кузовлева "English-10-11".

Основной воспитательной целью проводимого урока является раскрытие негативных медицинских, психологических, социальных и морально-нравственных аспектов, связанных с наркоманией; воспитание отрицательного отношения и жёсткого неприятия к наркотикам на материале иностранного языка.

Сопутствующие коммуникативные цели таковы: систематизация знаний лексики по теме, активизация лексики в условно-речевых упражнениях, закрепление грамматических навыков говорения и аудирования с общим и полным охватом содержания.

При подготовке урока использован обширный дополнительный материал и интернет ресурсы, рассказывающие о проблемах, связанных с подростковой наркоманией в странах изучаемого языка и в России, визуальные средства для создания языковой среды: видеофрагменты, плакаты, рисунки учащихся, презентация.

План урока ориентирует учащихся на достижение воспитательных и общеобразовательных целей. Для положительного эмоционального настроя в ходе речевой разминки использован метод "Brain Storming" (Мозговой штурм), который всегда помогает активизировать изученную лексику в речи, ориентирует учащихся на достижение цели урока. Обобщается лексика и грамматический материал предыдущих уроков.

Материал на уроке вводится в коммуникативной форме, с помощью предметной, изобразительной наглядности, с использованием ТСО. Работа осуществляется поэтапно.

Учащимся предложены различные задания в форме ЕГЭ, нацеливающие их на продуктивное овладение аспектами языка: в данном уроке - это неподготовленная монологическая речь (говорение) и аудирование различных стратегий.

Учащимся следует записывать ключевые слова и выводы по каждому из блоков урока, что способствует более эффективному усвоению материала.

Предложенные виды работы помогают удачно использовать тексты для аудирования и зрительные лексические опоры, как базу для тренировки употребления лексико-грамматических единиц в устной и письменной речи.

При обучении аудированию и говорению учитываются личностные интересы детей, их возрастные особенности, а также тот факт, что подростки находятся в так называемой "группе риска". На уроке учащиеся могут поработать с интернет-сайтом ФСКН России (), где имеется специализированный информационный блок, в котором размещаются необходимые материалы антинаркотической направленности для учащихся, градированные по двум возрастным категориям (от 12 до 16 лет и старше 16 лет).

Использованные методические приёмы организации учебного сотрудничества обеспечат усвоение материала и позволят создать необходимые условия для формирования универсальных учебных действий учащихся и будут ориентировать школьников на выработку твёрдой отрицательной позиции на предложение попробовать наркотики, при этом научить сказать НЕТ.

Сообщение темы. Постановка цели и задач урока.

Today we are going to speak about drugs. You know that the number of drug addicts in Russia is increasing every year. Despite the ruinous effect of drug usage, some young people cannot refuse taking drugs. Today we will get some information about the general situation with teens' dependency on drugs all around the world; we'll try to define reasons of becoming drug-addicted; surely we will learn some new facts about the influence of this negative health habit.

Фонетическая зарядка.

First of all, let's have a phonetic drill. We will work with the words and expressions connected with our topic. Listen and repeat after me:

• to be on drugs

• to have a destroying effect

• to affect the mind

• to cause mental changes

• to ruin the nervous system

• to have a heart attack

Речевая зарядка.

That's right! Now I would like to ask you:

What do you know about taking drugs? What information have you recently heard or read on this topic? What is your personal attitude towards it? What can being on drugs result in? (Pupils should answer using words and phrases above)

Основная часть урока. Развитие навыков построения связного монологического высказывания с опорой.

Good of you! Now look at the blackboard. Here you can see different teenagers' ideas about the reasons of being on drugs. Your task is to agree or disagree with the idea you like and comment on it - give your own arguments, thoughts or examples. (Pupils share with their ideas and examples of their own)

Curiosity pushes young people to try drugs first and then they inevitably become the slavers of drugs.

The main reason of teens' addictiveness to drugs lies in family. Parents and children can't find mutual understanding nowadays.

It is the way to kill the time and to have a fun. Young people try drugs just for company or under the pressure of their friends.

Совершенствование навыков аудирования с общим охватом информации.

(задание в форме ЕГЭ)

Thanks for your ideas! Now we will listen to some teens speaking about different aspects in taking drugs. Your task is to listen to them twice and match given sentences with the texts in the table. Remember that one sentence (title) is extra.

So, let's start listening. Be very attentive!

Speaker 1: Many young people start taking drugs under pressure of their mates. Teenagers want to try all sorts of options. They want to live now and to live to the maximum. For many of them it means to be cool, they want to get as much pleasure as possible. Some teens take a stimulant to dance all night, other teens make psychedelic drugs or hallucinogens to produce the equivalent of waking dreams, to broaden their mind and to whip up creativeness. Others need a relaxant to ward a stress.

Speaker 2: Today, our US Government is inclined to legalize some kinds of soft drugs. It's a crime against future generations to make some of them legally available. Some of my friends say that Smoking Pot isn't dangerous. Hemp is used in medicine. A lot of people use soft drugs without any harm. But I know that even smoking grass is as dangerous as drinking and it can cause health problems. Drugs destroy our minds, family and friend relationships and kill our youth.

Speaker 3: Drug dealers' interest is in getting money - not your health. So they try to involve as many teens in drug usage as possible. And being on drugs teens become really aggressive and violent and they can turn out to be potential criminals. Because when a drug addict needs a "dose" but has no money, he is able to steal smth, to commit a robbery or even a murder. So, I think that all drugs should be strictly forbidden.

Speaker 4: You know that drug usage causes such socially dangerous disease as AIDS. Young people often commit suicide. The average length of drug abused person's life is only 21 years. According to statistics the cure from drug abuse costs 10 thousand dollars. Much more money you need to receive help in special rehabilitation centers. Do you agree to pay such money? If yes, it is your choice and only you are responsible for it.

Speaker 5: As for me I'd like to appeal to parents and teachers. The following symptoms may be the signs of trouble: constricted pupils, unusual flare-ups, withdrawal from responsibility, deterioration of physical appearance, unusual borrowings of money, abrupt changes in school attendance, discipline. For example, smoking grass causes a person to become unable to think and to be short-tempered, then breathe problems, heart attacks appears and death comes inevitably. At the end I'd like to say don't inhale purposely any drug. Think about how hard it is to stop.

1. Even soft drugs can destroy your health and inner world.

2. Specially organized help for addicts is really expensive.

3. Having fun for teens is possible only while being on drugs.

4. Prohibition is the only way to stop drug abuse.

5. Any kind of experimentation with drugs is dangerous.

6. The consequences of drug taking are inevitable.

Актуализация изученного ранее лексико-грамматического материала в рамках обсуждения текста публицистического характера.

Teacher: Nowadays we can read а lot of articles about young people who take and sell drugs in different newspapers and magazines. They help young people not to make such mistakes in their life. Let's remember the article which is entitled LIFE ON DRUGS. (Приложение 1) You have read it at home. Your task will be to answer the following questions:

1. What is the article about?

2. Who is the article about?

3. What traits of character did the girl have?

4. What steps of taking drugs are mentioned in the story?

5. What is the main idea of the story?

6. What is your personal attitude towards this story?

7. How would you behave if you were this girl?

8. Can anything approve her style of life and behavior? Prove your point of view.

Teacher: Often young people do something not because they want to do it. They do things, because everybody around does it or because they think it's impossible to refuse. But sometimes we have to say we are unwilling to do something and give reasons.

Imagine that the young man can refuse from trying marijuana. How would he react? Which phrases would he use in this situation? And how would his life change if he can refuse from trying marijuana? Listen to your ideas. (The pupils' answers)

Физкультминутка.
Teacher: Now it's high time to have a rest. (Эмоциональная разрядка - песня «We are the world»)

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying - and it's time to lend a hand
To life … the greatest gift of all

We can't go on - pretending day by day
That some one - somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of - god's great big family
And the truth - you know love is all we need

Chorus:
We are the world - we are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true - we make a better day just you and me.

Приложение №1

LIFE ON DRUGS
How appealing are drugs?
When you look at their effects on your health and life, not so much
By Martina Stritesky

Chances are you've already been around drugs. Maybe they've been at a party you've been to, or maybe they were offered to you at a friend's house. You know that they're around. You may have even tried them. Or maybe you are still weighing the pros and cons. After all, you're not naïve. You know the seriousness of drugs. Or do you?

What you may not know are the cold hard facts. What they can do to your judgment, your grades, and how they can alienate you from all the things you care about. Meet Stella. Stella didn't always have it easy growing up. At 13, Stella changed schools. She was lonely and trying to fit in, until she met a new friend. Sarah was different. She smoked, she drank, and she was sexually active. Sarah's mom even provided her with condoms. Soon Stella was trying the same things, getting drunk and getting high, and together they started running with an older crowd.

Stella lost her virginity at 14. She doesn't remember that much of the experience, though. She was too high that night. "He was older and I didn't realize what I was getting into," she says. "I wish I could remember it as a special time, but it wasn't. I was high." Before long, Stella was flunking out of school. And then she dropped out. From 13 to 16, Stella smoked pot on a daily basis. At around 16, she started experimenting with cocaine and ecstasy. The harder the better, she thought. Gone were her school ambitions; drugs had taken over her mind. In fact, they had taken over her life. She started fighting with her parents and soon moved out. She bounced from house to house, never quite sure where she was going to end up each night. At 17, Stella started dating an older guy and got pregnant. They barely knew each other, but that didn't matter when they were high.

It wasn't until her baby girl was born with heart complications that Stella finally began to wake up. She watched her daughter spend the first few weeks of her life in intensive care, undergoing heart surgery. She had to bring her daughter for weekly checkups. Stella realized her decisions were affecting not only her life, but also the life of her baby girl. Stella wanted to be a mother her daughter could depend on.

Stella dropped her partying friends and went back to school. She took solace in her mother who, thankfully, had not turned her back on her. She says that if it wasn't for her mother, she doesn't know where she would be now. In between taking care of her daughter, taking her to the hospital for her many heart appointments and working a part-time job as a cashier, Stella hit the books. She studied at night when her baby was asleep, determined to get her high school diploma. Now 21, Stella has finished high school through a series of correspondence courses. She plans on continuing her education and becoming a nurse so that she can learn more about her daughter's condition and help other children born with the same complications.

When asked if she regrets any of her decisions, she answers quietly and slowly. Yes. She does. Her road has not been easy, she says. But she's glad she got out when she did. Stella remembers friends who weren't so lucky. She says they simply got sucked in too deeply. Today, Stella wants nothing more than a better life for her daughter. She hopes she's learned enough of a lesson for both of them. "It's not worth it," she says. "It's a long, hard road with drugs. It changes your perspective and makes you lose your ambition. I've never felt worse than [when I was] on drugs."
