The Secretary of the Royal London scientific society (Приложение 1, слайд 1)

T.: Ladies & gentlemen! I would like to welcome you at the Royal London scientific society meeting. Our scientific society is one of the oldest & famous in the world. That’s why we are done the honour to define the outstanding discoveries of the world. Our experts should consider what discovery is of great significance.

II. Речевая зарядка

Задачи:

T.: To begin with, let’s look at the screen. Try to explain the proverbs. You should be convincing.
(Приложение 1, слайд 2)
“Experience is the mother of wisdom”. “Necessity is the mother of the invention”
Well, thank you for your interpretation. Yes, you were right, speaking about the inventions and explaining the reasons why they appeared. New inventions always change the people’s ways of living.

Just imagine the amount of inventions of the world. Time which we live in is unusual. It is 2009 now. It’s the beginning of the XXIst century and the 3rd millennium. We don’t know what we’ll have in a future, but I hope it will be beautiful and interesting. They say we can’t have a great future if we don’t realize the past. Our meeting is devoted to the most important scientific inventions.. You know we were given a very difficult task – to create the book. Its name is “Great Discoveries of the world”. (Приложение 1, слайды 3, 4)
We have already filled some pages of this fascinating and exciting book. But we are having highly respected guests today – they are journalists from famous newspapers and magazines. It’s high time to make a historical reference on the question for them. To understand the problem better let’s turn to our experts. They have prepared for us very useful information.

III. Развитие умений в аудировании текста

Основные цели и сопутствующие задачи:

T.: First of all you should listen to some texts and then fill in the missing information. There are five columns in it. Be attentive, Press is waiting for our Revue. (Текст для аудирования взят из рабочей тетради к учебнику Афанасьевой – VIII. Материал можно оформить как интерактивный плакат.)
Let’s thank our experts for exhaustive explanation, I think it was difficult for them to choose information – the world is full of mysteries. I would like some of you to summarize the facts mentioned above. You may use your notes from the table. (Приложение 2, ex.1)

IV . Развитие речевых навыков

Основные цели и сопутствующие задачи:

2) “What’s New In the World?” magazine. Could you tell us about …

7) “Good Morning newspaper” What are your achievements in this field of science?
8) Notes and Records of the Royal Society Well, I’m interested in…
9) “Inventions In Science” magazine There is some information about investigations in physics. Could you tell us about them?
10) “Today” newspaper. My question deals with a phenomenon

V. Совершенствование речевых навыков (диалогическая форма).

Основные цели и сопутствующие задачи: тренировать учащихся в ведении диалога по заданным ситуациям общения.

T.: While we are busy (учитель слушает краткие монологические высказывания учащихся на основе прочитанного), I would like some of you to give an interview for a famous scientific journal. (Biology Letters is one of our seven, high quality peer-reviewed journals covering: biological and physical sciences). The editorial staff is very interested in problems of cloning. I think you’ll be able to answer all their questions.
Thank you, I see you are masters of our subject. But now let’s listen to the conversation, its topic is very exciting. You should write down the key sentences of it for our Press – center.

Возможный ход диалога:

Journalist: Our readers are very interested in problems of cloning. What is your attitude toward this aspect of science?
Expert: Cloning animals opens exciting medical possibilities. Many people are in need of tissues and organs for transplantation. But it isn’t easy to get such organs as, for example, heart, liver or kidneys. Cloning can solve this problem.
Journalist: It sounds very convincing. But is it the only application of cloning?
Expert: Oh, no! Many animals are on the brink of extinction. Cloning can be used to preserve them. Besides, Scientists can create animals which produce more milk, meat and wool, or animals which don’t catch certain diseases. This can save the lives of starving people.
Journalist: Oh, I see. It might help to decide the problems of Poverty. But people all over the world are worried about the moral side of the problem. Would you mind explaining your opinion.
Expert: Cloning is a controversial issue. Some people are ready to eat cloned fruits and vegetables, but many people are against cloning animals. They think it is morally unacceptable. The question of human cloning is even more controversial.
Journalist: What are the most complicated questions in this field of science?
Expert: Suppose we cloned a man. Are we really sure he will be a man? Who will be responsible for him? Who will bring him up? Will he be happy? Will he have the same rights as we have?
Journalist: I can add one more. What would happen if a dictator, someone like Hitler, cloned himself? Would we be able to survive?
Expert: But nevertheless, the idea of human cloning seems very exciting.
Teacher: You should write down the key sentences of it for our Press – center.

Возможный вариант:

  1. Some medical problems could be solved.
  2. Mankind could have the opportunity to live a longer life.
  3. Mankind could solve the problem of feeding starving people.
  4. But cloning is a controversial issue: there are some moral aspects in the problem.
