I. Warming up

Good morning, dear children. The theme of our lesson is “Reading for pleasure “Helen Keller” (Приложение, слайд 1)

Look at the screen (Приложение, слайд 2). Name the letters. Now name the words beginning with these letters on the theme “The first aid box”: (box, blood, bandages, cotton wool, class, cream, cut, clean, happen, hurt, have, plaster, pin, plastic, put, etc.)

Make up sentences or short stories, using as many words as you can.

Well done. You know the words on the theme and can use them in your speech.

II. Phonetic drill

For our phonetic drill let’s read a poem with the sounds [w] and [e]. (Приложение, слайд 3)

Listen. Pronounce the sounds [w], [e] correctly. Read.

Look at the pictures attentively. Try to guess what this story is about. Possible predictions:

• the clothes (It isn’t modern. The action took place in the past.)
• a girl, a young lady, a woman, an old woman ( somebody’s biography)
• a woman is among a lot of people (maybe she is famous)
• a book in Braille, a typewriter, a girl is touching another woman’s face (about a blind person)

Right you are. We are going to read about a blind girl. About whom did we read not long ago? Right you are, about Lois Braille. What do you remember about him? (слайд 6)
