Shakespeare:Pupils, please listen to me and learn some facts from my life.

My name is William Shakespeare. People say I am the world's greatest poet and dramatist. I was born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. My mother, Mary Arden, was a daughter of Robert Arden, a farmer. My father, John Shakespeare, was a glover who had an office at Stratford-upon-Avon.

I got my education at the Grammar School. I got married in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and had three children, a daughter and two sons.

We lived in Stratford.At that time actors and actresses visited Stratford-on-Avon. I liked to watch them. I was fond of their profession and decided to become an actor. Then I went to London. There I became an actor and began to write plays too. I worked in the modern theatre “Globe”. 14 years later I became a part owner of the Globe theatre in London.

The public theatres for which I wrote my plays were quite different from those of today. They were built of wood. The stage projected far out into the pit where the spectators stood, so they were very close to the players' feet. Round the pit there were tiers of galleries, one over the other. The galleries were roofed, while the pit was open to the sky.

Since the pit of the theatre was open to the sky, the performance depended entirely upon the weather. Flags were raised when a play was to be given, but if the weather suddenly changed for the worse, the flags were pulled down and the performance did not take place.

Actresses were unknown on the stage, and all women's parts were played by boys or young men.

I wrote 37 plays altogether. Among my plays there are historical dramas, comedies, great tragedies, romantic dreams. I’m also known as the author of 2 long poems and 154 sonnets.

Teacher: The first task is to guess whether it is true or false. I’ll read some sentences about our guest’s life and you must choose (T) or (F).

Our guest was born on April 23, 1564 and he died also this date, April23, 1616.(T)

In the 16th century there were many theatres in Britain. (F)

Globe Theatre was situated on the bank of the River Thames. (T)

Nowadays Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre is opened all year round. (F)

W.Shakespeare wrote 37 plays. (T)

Teacher: What Shakespeare’s great works do you know? (Учащиеся называют). (слайд 13)

Teacher: Now look at the screen. На экран проецируется фрагмент кинофильма Ф.Дзефирелли «Ромео и Джульетта» с изображением сцены на балу. Звучат первые аккорды мелодии под названием « Тема любви» Нино Рота в переложении Г.Фиртича.

Teacher: This wonderful love story is about two lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, they died, but they didn’t stop loving each other. They stayed young forever! Listen to this beautiful melody and read the first part of the text “Romeo and Juliet”. (Дети слушают мелодию, которая играет на заднем плане, читают текст на индивидуальных листах и готовятся отвечать на вопросы). (слайды 14-17)

ROMEO and JULIET

Part 1

In the town of Verona, in Italy, there were two rich families, the Capulets and the Montagues. There was an old quarrel between these two families and when a Capulet met a Montague, they always fought. There was a daughter Juliet, in the Capulet family, who was fourteen years old at the time of the story, and a son, Romeo, in the Montague family, who was sixteen.

One day old Capulet made a great supper and invited many people to it but no one of the house of the Montague. At that time Romeo liked a girl whose name was Rosaline. He knew that she was invited to the Capulets, so he went there with his friend Mercutio. The young men wore masks on their faces.

When dancing began, Romeo saw a young and very beautiful girl whom he did not know. That was Juliet and Romeo fell in love with her and forgot all about Rosaline. He came up to the girl and began to speak to her, but Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, recognized Romeo and wanted to fight with him: there was a Montague in the house of the Capulet. The fight did not take place because old Capulet did not give Tybalt his permission, but Romeo had to leave the house.

He did not go home, he went into the Capulet’s garden. Juliet could not sleep that night, she fell in love with Romeo too. She went up to the window of her room and from there she saw Romeo in the garden. They talked about their love and about the quarrel between their families. Romeo asked Juliet to marry him the next day. They decided that nobody must know about their love or about their plan to marry.

Слова на слайде (15):

quarrel [′kwɔrəl] – ссора to recognize [′rekəgnaiz] - узнать

mask [ma:sk] – маска permission [pə′mi∫n] - разрешение

to fall in love – влюбиться to marry [′mæri] – жениться, выходить замуж

Why did Romeo go to the Capulets one day?

Why did Tybalt want to fight with Romeo?

What were Romeo and Juliet talking about in the garden?

What did Romeo and Juliet decide to do talking in the Capulet’s garden?

Teacher:Shakespeare’s works have great influence on English. Many sayings and quotations came from his works. Many of his expressions have become part of the language. These sayings are known to everybody and they are widely used.

Shakespeare:I’ll read some of my quotations in English and you must match them and their translations. (слайды 18-19 )

Shakespeare: Now I am going to speak about one more feature of the language. It is an idiom. Do you remember what idioms are? Do you know the examples? (Pupils try to answer.)

Shakespeare:An idiom is a set expression which has a meaning different from the literal meanings of its components. Idioms can be quite clear or pretty unclear. It is useless to ask why idioms have such unusual structure or choice of words, or why they don't follow basic grammar rules. Let's just accept as fact that idioms are a difficult peculiarity of English. Many idioms appeared as quotations from well-known writers. For example, "at / in one fell swoop" comes from Macbeth and "cold comfort" from King Lear. (слайд 20)- read, write down idioms and do the exercise.

Teacher: These idioms were invented by William Shakespeare and used in his famous plays. They are all used in everyday English and very well known. Can you match each idiom to the correct sentence?

Teacher: Now it is the next task.«Guess the Words». You can see some English words there. But the letters are not in the right order. Will you make up the words using these letters?(слайды 21-22)

enstno (sonnet) ygertda (tragedy)

heasrpeakhs(Shakespeare) yeodmc (comedy)

tlhmea (Hamlet) ololhet (Othello)

ttooiqnsua (quotations) eolbg(Globe)

rhteeat (theatre)

Shakespeare:Now you will hear the song- my sonnet “Shakespeares Sonnet”. The singer is A. Pugacheva. Its a sonnet №90. It was translated by S. Marshak, music – A.Pugacheva. (смотрят видеозапись).

Teacher: Shakespeare spent most of his career in London as an actor, playwright and manager of the Globe Theatre. In 1611 he came back to Stratford and spent there the last years of his life, there he died, on the same date as his birthday, the 23rd of April 1616. He was buried in Holy Trinity Church of Stratford. His tomb has four lines that are said to have been written by him:(слайды 23)

“Good friend, for Jesus’ sake, forbear
To dig the dust enclosed here;
Blessed be he that spares these stones,
And cursed be he that moves my bones”.

A monument was opened to the memory of the great playwright in the Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey. I’d like to finish our lesson with the words of an English poet, polemicist and politician John Milton. (слайд 24) His words were translated by famous Russian poet and translator S.Marshak.(ученик читает стих) (слайд 25)

Нуждается ль, покинув этот мир,

В труде каменотесов мой Шекспир,

Чтоб в пирамиде, к звездам обращенной,

Таился прах, веками освященный?

Наследник славы, для грядущих дней

Не просишь ты свидетельства камней.

Ты памятник у каждого из нас

Воздвиг в душе, которую потряс.

К позору нерадивого искусства

Твои стихи текут, волнуя чувства,

И в памяти у нас из книг твоих

Оттиснув навсегда дельфийский стих.

Воображенье наше до конца

Пленив и в мрамор превратив сердца,

Ты в них покоишься. Все короли

Такую честь бы жизни предпочли.

(Перевод С.Я. Маршака)

And there are very wise words written by W Shakespeare in Sonnet 18. Read them.(слайды 26-27).(Ученик читает отрывок из сонета и перевод)…….

So long as men can breath or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

……..

Ты не умрешь, в стихах увековечен,

Жить будешь в них, свой продолжая век,

Доколе зрит и дышит человек.

(Перевод Игоря Фрадкина)

Part 2

Part 3

Some days passed and Juliet’s father called his daughter to him and told her that she must marry a young man whose name was Paris. Juliet did not know what to do. She was afraid to tell her father about her marriage to Romeo. She told him that she was too young to marry, but old Capulet got very angry and did not want to listen to her. Then Juliet went to Friar Lawrence for help.

He listened to the girl and then told her to go home and be ready to marry Paris. But the night before her marriage she must drink some medicine from a little bottle which the friar gave her. “This medicine will put you to sleep for forty two hours”, said the friar. Juliet went home and did as the friar told her.

When her mother came into the room, Juliet lay on her bed. She was unconscious. The mother thought that Juliet was dead. The parents cried very much, then they put Juliet into the family tomb.

Romeo did not get Friar Lawrence’s letter, but he heard that Juliet was dead and he was very unhappy. He bought some poison and came back to Verona. He went to the tomb of the Capulets where Juliet lay and found Paris there. Romeo fought with him and killed the young man. Then he looked at Juliet for a long time, kissed her on the lips and drank the poison. He fell down at Juliet’s feet.
