Pupil 2

Mistletoe

SLIDE 1: (music “reklama – Coca Cola 1 min 1 sec)

Setting:

The box “The North Pole” is fixed on the stage. The big clock shows: “Christmas Eve._10_ o’clock.”

Santa Claus is sleeping. He is snoring.

Elves (running to Santa and wakening him up):

- It’s time to get up! It’s time to think about presents!

Oh, dear Santa, today is Christmas Eve!

Santa (зевая и потягиваясь):

- Yes, you are right!

(Встает, взваливает на плечо мешок с подарками, но вдруг останавливается и прислушивается к музыке. Лицо Санта Клауса становится огорченным и он опускает мешок на пол.)

- Again this irritating advertising! Why can’t people help thinking about their profit even on Christmas Eve?

 I don’t feel like delivering presents at all.

Elf :- Please, you don’t think so! Look! (points to the audience) We have wonderful audience today, let’s ask them.

(Turns to the audience, comes to the edge of the stage and asks)

Please, help us! For sure you know what Christmas is.

- (The spectators’ replies)

Then Elf 2: - Well done! (the correct answer)

- Sorry? Never mind. (If there is no answer or incorrect answer is given) And I know the students who can tell us a lot about Christmas. They are from school 445.

SLIDE 2. (Contents)

Pupil 1:

- We are glad to help you. So Christmas is a Christian holiday, celebrated as the day when Jesus Christ was born.

Pupils 1 and 2(together pointing to slide 2):

We are going to represent

the history of Christmas,

its characters, food and traditions,

interesting facts and entertainments

So this is our project’s contents.

Pupils 1 and 2: - And now listen.

SLIDE 3 (music Boney M “Mary’s Boy Child”)

Angels 1and 2 sing.

Angel 1:

- More than two thousand years ago a Savior was born to Mary and Joseph near the town of Bethlehem. The Nativity is based on the Biblical event: Luke tells the story of how an angel appeared to shepherds and told them that a Savior had been born. Matthew tells of the Three Wise Men of the East (the Magi) who followed a bright star which led them to the new-born child, whom they brought the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrth.

Angel 2:

- That day has become a great holiday. It is celebrated at winter solstice that is the darkest time of the year. Nobody knows the exact date when Jesus Christ was born. Perhaps December 25 was chosen by the Roman Church not accidentally. Maybe they wanted to replace the important pagan Roman festival – Natalis Invicti Solis ( that means - Birth of the Unconquered Sun).

However the Eastern Christian Church had earlier settled on the date of January 6 to celebrate Christmas.

All together: - Merry Christmas!

Elves:- Wait, wait, wait, wait….Just a moment… We haven’t caught some words in your story.

Pupil 1: - Neither did we at first when we had started our project research.

That is why first of all we have completed Christmas Topical Vocabulary. You can see with the help our scheme.

SlIDE 4 (the scheme of symbols and traditions of Christmas) – показ ссылки  “Christmas” и демонстрация словаря в просмотровом режиме, а в это время звучат слова:

Pupil 1 –You see, there is a great variety of Christmas symbols and traditions.

Every culture seems to have contributed something lovely as the Magi.

Pupil 2 –Tradition of decorating the Christmas Tree was originated from Germany. For giving gifts and having such characters as Father Christmas or Pere Noel or Sinterklaas or Santa Claus we should thank St Nicholas – so popular in a lot of countries. Popularity of Christmas cards started in Great Britain.

Pupil 1 – Many people all over the world fast and pray before Christmas. They have Advent – that means “coming”.

Возврат к слайду 4 и переход к слайду 5.

Slide 5 (Christmas activities)

Elf 1 - A custom of making an Advent crown is adopted from Germany.

Elf 2 – (recites poems about Advent)

(Santa Claus leaves the stage.)

Slide 6 (food and drinks)

Elf 1 - Advent is finished in Germany by Christmas dinner, that consists of carp with vegetables or traditional goose with apples and Stollen – a kind of cake.

(Блюдо несут в жюри. В это же время звучат слова):

Elf 2  As for the British – turkey, goose, Christmas pudding, nuts and oranges – every year they are in traditional Christmas dishes.

Pupil 2: - So the weeks before Christmas are full of excitement. People rush about shopping for presents, getting ready for parties, sending Christmas cards and decorating their houses. Christmas traditions are widely represented in music and literature of different countries.

Slide 7 (Entertainments) music “Jingle Bells”

Звеня колокольчиками во время припева, все поют припев и первый куплет.

Показ ссылки “ Entertainments”, в это время звучат слова:

Pupil 1: -Christmas traditions varying from country to country have not only  differences but also much in common. We have represented this in the table. ( небольшая пауза). Perhaps, decorating the Christmas Tree is one   of the most beautiful and widespread traditions.

Slide 8 (Christmas Tree)

Pupil 2 -The Christmas tree is decorated. Is it time for presents?

Slide 9 (presents)

Pupil 2: – We have been helping with the cake

And licking out the pan,

And wrapping up our packages

As neatly as we can.

And we have hung our stockings up

Beside the open gate,

And now there is nothing more to do

EXEPT TO WAIT !

Pupil 1 – Indeed, where is our Santa Claus? Where has he gone?

Let’s call him.

(Everybody loudly):

- Santa Claus! (no reply)

- Pere Noel! (no reply)

- Sinter Klaas! (no reply)

- St Nicholas!

Pupil 2 – (Хлопает хлопушкой): I know, where Santa is.

Slide 10:

So Santa began to throw presents through the houses’ chimneys.

Slide 11

Elf 2: - On the contrary to giving gifts, English tradition of

“Kissing under the Mistletoe” – “Kissing Bough” is not so well-known.

The poem from “Mother Goose Rhymes” (два четверостишия) - ( a “kissing” game)

Slide 12 (conclusion)

Pupil 2: -Finally we can say that Christmas is believed to be a holiday that unites all people and brings them joy.

(All together):

It’s Christmas, Merry Christmas!

Yes, it’s Merry, Merry Christmas!

It’s time for jolly greeting!

Snow and holly, overeating.

Oh, I love you merry Christmas,

You are the best of holidays!
