Teacher: We shall begin our lesson with brain storm. Think over and say what your associations with the topic “Cinema” are. А… will go to the blackboard and write down all your suggestions.
2) Speaking.
T: I think it will be the plan of our lesson. Look at the slide and answer my question. What does this date stand for?
P 1: The inventors of the cinema were the French. The Lumiere brothers invented the first film projector and motion camera in 1895. That year on the 28th of December they demonstrated the first three minutes film “Arrival of the Train”. In that film, a train came towards the camera. People ran out of the cinema, thinking it was a real train.
T: And what can you tell me about the next date?
P 2: The spreading of cinematography in Russia started with the demonstration of the Lumiere brother’s film in May 1896 in St’ Petersburg and in Moscow. A. Khanzhonkov founded the first studio in our country, it was Yalta film studio. In the 1920th the stars of silent films were V. Kholodnaya, V. Polonski, V. Mashkov and others.
T: Who can add anything to this information?
P 3: The most popular genres of Russian films were historic films and screen versions of famous novels “The Quiet Don” for example. The first sound films simultaneously appeared in three countries, the USSR, The USA and Germany. Great attention was paid to films for children. The most famous directors were A. Rou and R. Bykov.
T: Of course, we can’t but mention Hollywood. Look at the 4th slide.
P 4: The first studio appeared in Hollywood (a part of Los Angeles) in 1911. In the 1920th
Hollywoodmade 80% of the world’s films. First the films were silent and black-and-white later they became sound and coloured. The biggest film companies in Hollywood are MGM, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros and Universal. American films were of different genres melodrama, western, comedy and historical films.
3) Word Square.
T: Thank you for the information. And now it’s high time for us to continue our work. Cinema combines different arts. That’s why people of different professions are involved in film making. You can see the Word Square on the blackboard. 11 professions are hidden in it. Some of them (short words) are written in whole, but as for compound words you will find only the first part. Your task is to find the names of the professions, and if you find the first part of the word add the second and then make up sentences using relative pronoun who. You can search words in different directions.

Sergei Bondarchuk got Oscar in 1968 for the film “War and peace”.

Vladimir Menshov - 1980 the film “Moscow doesn’t believe tears”
Nikita Mikhalkov. In 1994 his picture “Burn by the Sun” was awarded by Oscar too.
These directors brought honour to our country. It means that our films are worth seeing and we are proud of these outstanding people, who created such masterpieces.
And at last in 2000 it was our cartoon “The old man and the sea” that won this award.

The prize of the festival is Gold St. George. The president o the festival is N. Mikhalkov.

For example: Iya Savvina (1932), Gleb Strizhenov (1923), Nickolai Rybnikov (1930), Galina Belayeva ( ). Leonid Bronevoi wasn’t born in Voronezh, but he worked in Voronezh Drama Theater after institute.
Young people know the names of such actors as Stas Sadalskii, Sergei Selin, Sergei Astakhov. They are also from Voronezh. We are proud of our famous actors.

P 10: Before the lesson I was given the task to interview parents and classmates. I asked them questions about their favourite films, actors, actresses, genres. The results you can see on the slide.
My classmates adore watching comedies, melodramas, action films and adventure films.
P 11: I love action films. They are very dynamic and really exciting. They grab my attention from the first scene. I like films with a mysterious plot. They keep me in suspense. I can't understand people who don't like action films. They are so various that can suit different tastes. They teach people to defend justice and to be strong and brave.
T: And what genres of films do your parents like?
P 11: Our mothers prefer melodramas to comedies and detectives. But fathers’ favorite genres are action films, detectives and thrillers.
