The development of the lesson:
Introduction
Teacher: “Good morning, students. Glad to see you. Today we are going to have an unusual lesson. It’ll be a trip to our native place Kursk. Some of you are tourists. And other students are guides. What are we going to talk about? (We are going to talk about sights, monuments, museums, famous people of our town). Our task is to show the way to the main sights of our town and give some useful information.
Motto:
“He who loves not his country
can love nothing”
(Byron)
The main part.
Part1. My town.
Video: (“Sightseeing’s of Kursk, Kursk is 980” The song “Kursk waltz” by L. Ingor and U. Lebedev)
Students speak.
P1: Dear friends. Welcome to our native town Kursk. Kursk is situated in the Central Black earth erea. Kursk is 980. It celebrates its birthday on the 25 of September.
I live in Kursk in a small town, like many other small towns in Russia. It is an ancient town. It was founded in 1032.The longest rivers are the Seim and the Tuskar. The relief is flat. There are hills around the town. There are various types of climate. Its population is over 450 thousand people. Kursk region is rich in iron.
P2: There are many places of interest: old beautiful churches, museums, monuments, theatres, cinemas, cathedrals and art galleries, parks in my town. Ancient churches and monuments to past heroism co-exist peacefully with modern architecture, parks with musical fountains.
Kursk is my little motherland. It has a long rich history. A lot of famous people were born here. For example: the composer Georgi Sviridov, the writers Arkadiy Gaidar and Konstantin Vorobyov, Evgeniy Nosov, the architect Vyacheslav Klykov, the singer Nadezhda Plyevitskaya, the scientist Ufimtsyev, Seraphim of Sarov.
In 1980 Kursk was awarded the World War Two Order. I think there is no place like home.
P3: This is the coat of arms. It is the symbol of Kursk. It is grey with a blue ribbon and 3 partridges. It was designed in 1870 by Ekaterina the second.
This is the flag of Kursk with a blue silver stripe and three silver partridges. The blue colour symbolizes the sky and the liberty, the silver one – the purity and kindness. The birds symbolize the richness of Kursk nature.
The song about Kursk tells us about the beauty of nightingale’s region. It is like a hymn of Kursk. It is about modern and ancient streets, favourite people, splendid historical sights, heroes of war.
Dialogues between tourists:
Dialogue 1
- Are you doing anything on Saturday?
- Nothing special.
- Why don’t we go to Pushkin’s theatre? What about Kursk sightseeing?
- What about the museum or the cinema? A new film is on. A good comedy with
wonderful actors.
- Good idea.
- Then let’s meet at 6 at the cinema “Yunost” on Saturday.
- OK.
- Would you like to go to the disco after the cinema?
- I don’t think so. I have to get up early on Sunday. We are going on a trip to Korennaya with our guide. Korennaya is a pearl of Kursk region. Why don’t you come with us?
- Well, why not? I think it’ll be a beautiful trip.
Dialogue 2
- Why don’t we go on excursion this weekend?
- Sorry, but I’ve already promised George to go to the Regional Museum of local lore and history, the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Kursk Battle, the literary Museum and others. Would you like to join us?
- Oh, it’s great! Thanks, I’d love to. How about visiting Red Square? We can also visit the city museum.
- That would be lovely. But is it far from Red Square?
- No, it is not far from Znamensky Cathedral.
- Oh, I see.
- You can invite your friend to go with us. I think you’ll enjoy the excursion. We can also visit Znamensky Cathedral.
- That’s a great idea! Kursk is 980. It’ll be interesting. I’d like to see splendid historical sights, modern and ancient streets, parks, monuments of Kursk.
- OK! See you on Sunday.
Т: At our previous lessons we worked out your projects and today you’ll show us the results of this work. Today we are going to listen to the projects prepared by you yourselves. I know you’ve worked hard to be at your best and you’ve done your projects using new computer technologies. Your projects devoted to your native town. As you know Kursk has a unique history. A great number of tourists from different parts of Russia and abroad visit our town. Now let’s come to the matter.

Part 2. My motherland
Video. “Kursk nature”. The music by G. Sviridov.
Students speak.
My motherland
P4. I live in Kursk in a small town, like many other small towns in Russia. It is my motherland and everything here is dear to my heart: people, birds, flowers, trees, shops, forests, rivers, fields. I like the proverb “There is no place like home”, “East or west, home is best” and the saying : “Home is where your heard is”, “It’s good to be where you were born”. I can say I’m a patriot of my town and love it very much. I hope I will be a useful citizen of my motherland. It will be proud of me.
P5. Kursk is unusual and different. I like the beauty of modern Kursk. I enjoy visiting churches and cathedrals, museums and theatres, historical places. They are great.
But the greatest value of our town is people. They are open hearted, kind, talented, tolerant, hospitable. They are well-known all over the world: N. Plyevitskaya, E. Nosov, A. Gaidar, V. Klykov, M. Schyepkin, Ufimtsyev. They are great and simple as nature itself. I’m proud that I’m a part of this beautiful town.
P6. I believe in my little motherland. Every person has his dear corner in the world. This is the place, where I was born and grew, where my grandfather and me grandmother were born Kursk is my home, where sounds my native language and mother’s songs. My motherland is like a mother to me. Her eyes – are blue lakes and blue rivers. I love my motherland.
P7. We should value our culture, science, our poetry and all those famous and brave people who lived in Kursk, defended it during the second world war: Sonin, Zhukov, Peryekalskiy, Zelenko, Rokossovskiy. We are proud of them. I’d like to tell you that I really love my motherland because everyone must love his native town. I’d like to see it always rich, independent, nice, dressed in blue and green, clean. Let’s hope for the best. There is no place more delightful than home.
T.: I want you to work in pairs now. Lets speak about Sviridov’s music. It is very interesting to listen to your opinion.
Dialogue:
- How do you like Sviridov’s music?
- Wonderful! It is soft and lyrical.
- How does the music make you feel?
- It is a combination of different sounds. I feel the sounds of birds, the wind, the rain, the snow-storm and even silence.
- Does it reflect the mood and emotions of the composer?
- Yes, it does. He loved his homeland, its nature and people. He could find inspiration to write music in his native land.
- What is your favorite Sviridov’s music ?
- The music we’ve just listened to. It’s a waltz to Pushkin’s story “Snow-storm”.
To my mind it is one of his greatest works.
Part 3. My world
T: Students, you have written your compositions about your motherland, your town, your world. Let’s listen to them.
1.Students’ compositions and poems
Compositions
My motherland is my world
The English word Motherland has two meanings. First, it is the place you were born in. Second, it means the house or district in which one was born.
Love of Motherland comes to people in different ways. Some people consider their home or their street to be Motherland. Some people think that Motherland is their native country. But, by all means, it is the best place. There is an English proverb “there is no place like home”. And I agree with it. It’s very pleasant to return home after long absence.
But you can love only what you know well. That’s why we should learn the history of our country and city. The more we know about it, the more we love our Motherland.
My world is my mother
What does mother means to each of us? To each of us mother is the dearest person. She is near us when we are small children. She is near when we become older. She is always ready to help us when we are in difficulties. Mother always takes care of us. She worries about us. Our mothers’ hands are always busy: she cooks and does the washing, she cleans the house and works in the garden. She can do everything for her children.
And what can we do for our mother? I think, we should help our mothers to make her life easier. We should help her about the house to give her some free time. We should not forget about our mothers when we are far from them. Isn’t it difficult to phone her or to say some kind words? We should remember an English proverb:”He who loves his mother is a real son of his Motherland”.
My world
My world is beautiful and sociable. My classmates are smart and funny. My parents are careful and kind. I do sports. I like to play computer games, swim, listen to music. I like animals. I take care of nature. I love my motherland. I take care of wild flowers and forests. I do birds’ homes with my father. I love my parents. I think the most important thing for me is to study “Knowledge is power”. Knowledge can help me to get a good profession, to understand the world and people better. I need knowledge to be more useful for my native town and my country. An English writer John Galsworthy said: “If you don’t think about the future you will not have it”.
I love my world.
My world is my creativity
A perfect mix of colours and flowers are beautiful, unusual and creative for me. I am a creative person. I like unusual things. I can see something amazing where many people do not notice anything. For me wonderful and beautiful things are skiing in the winter forest or listening to the singing of the birds, amazing, spring flowers: snow drops, forget- me-nots, lilies. Creativity means for me making of something new, unusual, valuable not only for the individual but also for the others.
People say “The best gift-it’s made with your own hands”.
I like to do different things and present them to my friends, parents. It gives me an opportunity to understand the world better, to feel joy and excitement, to broaden my horizon.
Teacher: Preparing for this activity students learned many poems about their homeland, their motherland by heart. Students are sure that their motherland is their soul, brain and light. Let’s listen to them.
Poems
***
I love my town
The land on which I live
Yes, I’m sure, my heart
Its truest love can give.
For it I love my town
I’ll try to be the man
My country may be proud of
If I try I can.

My dear motherland
by Udi Damti
It is so beautiful and bright
It gives me home, a shelter and light
And we are proud of its history,
Full of struggles and victories
We got this country from God as a gift,
Not just to take, but mostly to give
Our mother land takes care of you and me,
And only here can we stay forever free.
We are proud to be her loyal kids,
It brings us up, teachers and leads
It is our life, it is our best part,
It is our soul, brain and heart.
My motherland, you are
So beautiful and Bright
May we be strong
To keep your shining light.

Conclusion.
Teacher:
Look here, please. You can see the exposition of books. All these books have a lot of information about your native town Kursk. If you are not sure in your knowledge, you can learn more about past, present and future of our town from these books.
And now, as you see the work of our meeting is over, and so is our lesson. I hope all of you have got very useful information about ancient town Kursk. Maybe, you won’t be tourist managers or guides, but all of you should know the history of your homeland. You should love your native Motherland, your native town Kursk. Because, as the great poet Byron said: ”He, who loves not his country, can love nothing”.
Students, I’m very pleased with your work today. You worked hard. You are great. You all were at your best. I see you’ve got deep knowledge of the subject. I hope you enjoyed the projects, poems, compositions and other activities of your classmates, haven’t you? I’d like you to write a letter to your pen-friend from England about your native town, your motherland, your world. I’ll give you only good and excellent marks. Thank you. Good luck!
