Ход
урока:
Teacher : Good morning, dear guests, today we
are going to talk about money. What is money in our life? Course or
blessing? Our today’s guests are: a head of the museum, a head of
the bank, a head of our police station, a head of opinion surveys
office and a children’s writer . Our first guest would like to make
an excursion in the past, when money didn’t exist.
Pupil 1:
-In our museum
there is a good collection of coins. (Demonstration of collection)
Many years ago money wasn’t used, instead, people had “barter”
system. This meant that if a man wanted something he didn’t have,
he had to find someone who had it. Then he had to offer him
something in exchange And if a man didn’t like what he was offered
in exchange, the first man couldn’t get what he needed.
In the distant
past people used shells, beads, cacao beans, salt grain skins and
even cattle, when they exchanged things. But coins were much easier
to use than, say cattle. Coins were first used in China. They were
first made of either gold or silver. Later people began to use
coins made of cheaper metals and then paper money. Due to money
trade went easier. Of cause, money is blessing . Don’t you agree
with me?
Discussion.
Teacher: Our next
guest is the head of opinion surveys office. What interesting
opinion surveys did you carry out?
Pupil 2:
-We asked the
following question to the students of senior forms in schools:
“Should parents
give children pocket money?” At first look at the diagram of
schoolchildren’s answers.
80% of respondents
said ”yes”.
Listen to the
opinion of those who said “yes” on the tape-recorder: “Our parents
should give us pocket money as we need it to pay fare in the bus
and to buy snacks in the school canteen .So, money is
blessing”.
20% of respondents
said “no”. Opinions on the tape-recorder: “It’s very dangerous to
have pocket money, as schoolchildren can be blackmailed even by
their classmates. In this case money is course”.
Discussion.
Teacher: Listen to
the opinion of the next guest, children’s writer.
Pupil 3:
-Don’t forget there are things that are more
valuable than money: love, friendship, respect, intelligence,
intercourse, etc. If people devote their life to money save , their
life is useless.
Discussion.
