Материал по английскому языку по теме “Our Farourite English and American Writers”

1st Compere: Dear friends! Today's English Party is devoted to the great English and

American writers, whose books are loved by both children and grown-ups all over the world.

2nd Compere: The names of some writers have become so familiar to you during your school years that very often we mix up whether this an English or an American one.

1st Compere: That is why we have asked our students to dramatize any scene from their favorite books. (Pause)

Hi, lads, what are you doing there? (Addressing a group of people dressed in fancy-ball's costumes. They can come from the corridor leading to the library) We haven't begun yet.

Tom Sawyer: That's fine we are not late. The president of our "Club of Famous Captains" has sent the main characters of your favourite books to take part in your party. So we are here, look at this people. They'll speak about themselves and you'll soon know who is who.

Robin Hood: How do you do, boys and girls'? Do you know who I am? I am Robin Hood. Ballads dedicated to me and my merry man were written down at varios times but not earlier than the 14th and 15th centuries. I am an outlaw but today I am your guest. Let me introduce my friend Gulliver to you.

Gulliver: My name is Gulliver. I am a famous traveller and explorer of un­known lands. My thrilling adventures in Lilliput and Brobdingnag, Laputa and in the country of the Houyhnhnms made my author Jonathan Swift very popular.

Robinson Crusoe: My book stands next to Gulliver's on the bookshelf. And my author Daniel Defoe as well as J.Swift is considered to be the founder of early bourgeois realism in England. I've spent so much time alone on the deserted island that now I enjoy the company of other literary characters. Here are my best friends - sir Ivanhoe from Walter Scott's novel and Mr.Pickwiek from Charles Dickens book.

Sherlock Holmes: My name is Sherlock Holmes. They say I am the best detective of all the times. But I don't trust them. You know that I’m fond of checking everything by myself. I’d like to play you the violin but I’m afraid you don't have time for that, (but the comperes plead him to play)

1st Compere: Yes, it is time now to begin speaking about the authors who wrote the books in which the following characters appear.

(Now each group introduces its writer and shows a scene from his famous book acted by the pupils)

Two American folk songs "Cindy" and "Home, Sweet Home" can be sung by the pupils at the end of the party.

2nd Compere: We've talked quite a lot about our favourite writers today. It's very pleasant to see that all of you like them and know something about them. I think that all the children enjoyed the party. Thank you. Good-bye everyone.
