• Входят учащиеся, рассаживаются по 6 человек в 2 группы. 
• Приветствие учащихся.

“Dear pupils I’m glad to see you at our lesson. Relax, be active, but don’t interrupt each other, listen to each other and help your group mates. Do your best. Good luck! Let’s start.

Supposed answers: Leonardo da Vinci.

T: You’re rather intelligent pupils. Let’s think over what can the topic of our lesson be?

T: the topic of our lesson is Special talents.

By the end of the lesson you’ll be able to:

1. Get some new information about Leonardo da Vinci (from listening and reading tasks);
2. Revise Past Simple tense;
3. Use new vocabulary of the topic in the sentences of your own;
4. Talk about Leonardo da Vinci and his inventions.

To my mind, you should know that Leonardo da Vinci lived long ago, in the 15th century. So, while talking about him, you’ll need to use Past Simple tense.

Let’s revise how we form the past simple of regular verbs. 

Ss answers: put an ending ed.

You know that ed can be read in 3 different ways:

t – after a deaf consonant (worked)

 d – after voiced consonant (planed) and vowels (studied)

id – after t,d (wanted)

Open you books at p. 44 we’re to do the 1st task.

Ученики выполняют задание индивидуально. Учитель производит проверку задания, заслушивая ответы учащихся.

Thank you for your work! Please look at p. 45. We’re going to listen to the text about Leonardo da Vinci and after listening we’ll do task 2b on p.44.

As usual before listening to the text let’s work with the key words from the text. Look at your desks. You have cards with a key word. Your task is to find the definition to it. You can walk around the classroom, in order to find definitions to your word.
