PROCEDURE
T: Good morning, girls! I am glad to see you. I hope everybody is fine and ready to start our lesson. You see that we have guests today. It is a good opportunity for you to demonstrate your knowledge of English. T: What is this life, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare! No time to stand beneath the boughs, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this is if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. W.N. Davies (1871-1940) T: Dear friends, I want you to stand and stare. Times change and we with time. Have a look around! Everything surrounding us is unique. New inventions make our life easier and more comfortable. W. Shakespeare said:”We know what we are, but we know not what we may be”. Today we are going to have an unusual lesson – we will talk about great inventions and great people – inventors whose names have already gone into the history of mankind. You will try your hand at “inventing” something unusual and interesting. And we have not only to understand but also prove that “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration” (Tomas Alva Edison).
T: But first of all, read the words on the board: telephone, fire, toothpaste, aspirin, electricity, wheel, gold. T: Choose which of these are inventions. (Answer: telephone, toothpaste, aspirin, wheel) T: Why are the other things on the list not inventions? (They're found in nature; people didn't create them.) T: So, fire, electricity and gold are discoveries because they already present in nature. T: So, discoveries are items that already exist in nature which people found. Brainstorming T: And what about inventions? What is an invention? Brainstorm answers.  something created by a person
S Innovation Something designed a device Something imagined T: I think our list is complete, so develop a definition of invention. (An invention is the creation of a new device, process, or product. T: So, An invention is an item or tool that person created. T: Well done. Who do we call an inventor? (An Inventor is a person who has invented smth) An inventor is someone who designs and makes new things.
T: Well, and now I’d like you to do some kinds of exercises in order to revise topical words which are introduced in our unit.
T: Everybody will take a sheet of paper and find a partner asking the questions to your classmates. Ask each other: A: Who has a definition of the word …? B: Who has the word that means …?

What do you know about them? (Students name the famous inventors in the photos) T: I’d like you to read the text about the great scientists of the world. Work in pairs. I’ll give you some cards with a text. Some information is missing. You have to read and ask questions to your partner to complete the information. (When students have finished, I ask for the questions again and correct any mistakes.)

T: Now you will be split into groups. I know that you have prepared interesting facts about inventors in your groups. You all will receive tasks for your researches in these envelopes. Group 1 (students receive portraits of famous inventors and envelop with the task) You are given an envelop with the portraits of great scientists. You are to make a short dialogue to tell us about these inventors and their inventions. Group 2 (students receive clothes for Isaac Newton and an envelope with task, one pupil prepared the information about Isaac Newton at home) Your task is to make up a dialogue between Isaac Newton and curious students from the future who need to learn more information about the life and work of the great scientist. Group 3 (Three students receive a manuscript and an envelope with the task) You were lucky to find a manuscript about Thomas Edison`s life. Work on it and then represent the information in three parts to your classmates: 1. Date of birth and education; 2. early years and family; 3 inventions and date of death. T: You`ve got your task and you have 4 minutes to get ready to do it. Presentation of tasks T: I see you are ready. Let`s see what you`ve found out. T: So, Who are these people? And what do you know about them. T: Thank you for your dialogue. You were perfect. T: Now I invite here our three young researchers, who were in the archive and worked with manuscript about Thomas Edison`s life and work, they will tell us what they`ve learnt. (Students tell in turn about Edison using the manuscript) T: Thank you, girls, for your work. T: And at last it`s time to listen to the dialogue of curious students with Isaac Newton. Try to memorize the main facts. (Presentation of a dialogue ) T: Thank you, your dialogue was informative and interesting and you role-played it realistic and naturally.

Write the invention next to the name.
T: And now it’s time for fun. Some riddles for you. Try to guess who said these words:
T: Good for you! But business before pleasure. So let’s continue our conversation about a wonderful world of science.
T: The 20th century has given us plenty of things that improve our lives. T: They make our lives better, easier, faster, more interesting and comfortable.
T: And now just imagine for a short time what would be if we didn’t have everyday inventions.
