Lesson plan: Spooktacular Halloween
Грядущий Хэллоуин — еще один отличный повод приобщить студентов к культуре англоязычных стран. Если вы увлеклись вырезанием тыкв и плетением паутины и все еще не приготовили задания на тематический урок, вам точно сюда!
Для вас мы приготовили «ужасный» план урока на тему Halloween — ночи всех святых, нацеленный на пополнение словарного запаса и развитие разговорных навыков.
В этом уроке студенты уровня Pre-Intermediate познакомятся с лексикой на тему праздника, послушают и споют хит короля поп-музыки, попробуют продать дом с привидениями, сварят зелье и выберут лучший костюм для праздника. В качестве домашнего задания их ждут до непристойности жуткие темы сочинений.
Lesson: Spook-tacular Halloween

Write down the following tongue twisters on the board and practice them as a class or individually:
Big bats match hats.

Main part
timing: ~20 min.
interaction: individual work
materials: song worksheet, music video Thriller
Start off your Halloween lesson with the spookiest song by M. Jackson Thriller. Ask Ss what the song’s title means, if they like thriller movies, if they know famous dance from the music video. Give out the worksheets to Ss. Watch and listen to this famous song and ask Ss to do the activities set in the worksheet.
After Ss have finished ask them to retell the plot of the music video. Elicit word `werewolf` and write it on the board.
Vocabulary introduction & practise
timing: ~10 min.
interaction: whole class
materials: board, markers, halloween crossword
Write the word ‘Halloween’ in capital letters next to `werewolf` and ask the class to name any other words they associate with Halloween.
Might be a good idea to think of a word connected to HALLOWEEN using each of the letters (e.g. Haunted house, Apple, Lantern, Leaves, October, Witch, Eerie, Eeek, Night).
Write all the suggestions on the board. Ask for definitions of words which not all the class know. Check and correct pronunciation of vocabulary.
Give your Ss worksheet with new vocabulary, give them ~3 min and let them match pictures with correspondent words in the crossword, check as a class.
Activation
timing: ~10 min.
interaction: group work
materials: halloween board game
Time to activate new vocabulary, put Ss in groups of 4, give each group 1 worksheet with the board game. Each Ss needs a counter and the dice. A student rolls the dice and makes a sentence with a word in the square. Other Ss monitor the activity and check if the sentence is correct, if it`s not, the student goes back to the previous square.
To make it more complicated ask your Ss to make up a story and stick to the topic when they make sentences.
Follow up
timing: ~15 min.
interaction: pair work
materials: questions
Divide the class into pairs and give them Halloween questions to discuss. Monitor the class and take notes of widespread mistakes. Give your feedback when they have finished.
