Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, Oxford Thesaurus of English, (2005), Oxford
Expected answers:
3. The great Spanish explorer, Christopher Columbus, discovered America.
4. North America was discovered in 1492.
The discussion of the next nine slides will be based on the following theses:
The introduction to Christopher Columbus
The year 1607 and the beginning of the Westward movement
The American dream
The New World
The way of travel
The reasons for going West
The Indians
The difficulties and impediments
During this part of the class the pupils should presumably draw the following conclusions and
assumptions:
o People commenced settling America for numerous reasons: aspiration for a better life, cheap
land, religious freedom and freedom of choice.
o The new settlers decided to begin going West in search of a richer land, better jobs and a
chance to start a brand new life.
o The settlement of the West started in the middle of the nineteenth century.
o The Pioneers were the first people to start the westward movement. Before leaving their homes
they had saved money for the trip, sold their land and other possessions, or agreed to work for
others on the trip.
o The Pioneers travelled to the fronteer for many different reasons.
o All of them craved for a new life.
o Most were farmers.
o They went to Oregon, Texas, and other areas of the frontier for the inexpensive or even
possibly free land.
o They hoped for rich, fertile land for their crops.
o Others began the journey to the frontier because they had heard magical stories that made the
new lands sound like heaven on earth.
o Some went to the frontier in order to prospect for gold, some to hunt and trade.
o Travel in a covered wagon.
o The caravan of covered wagons would only travel ten to fifteen miles a day on average.
o The journey was difficult and complicated.
Following the course of the class, the pupils get acquainted with John Steinbeck, one of the bestknown and most widely read American writers of the 20th century. (slides 11 13)
Proceeding with the topic, the pupils are familiarized with the hardships of the journey and the
obstacles the new settlers encountered day after day (slides 14 19).
NOTE:
During the presentation, the teacher emphasizes, explains and repeats the unknown words
occasionally. The pupils do not write down the new vocabulary randomly on account of time
economy. Instead, the new words are being followed by the pupils on the card of unknown
words given at the beginning of this part of the class.
The key words (slide 20)
Exercise:
The teacher asks the pupils to open their books and reads the lesson aloud, explaining the
unfamiliar words again; The pupils are distributed handouts with exercises.
(ALTERNATIVE)
On condition that the media used in the class (computer, projector) are not functional for any
reason, the class will be realised in the following way:
Work type: frontal
Approach: dialogue monologue, text method, direct method, communicative approach;
Means and material: blackboard, marker, book, pictures, map mind, handouts;
(Educational and functional objectives are identical as the abovementioned (page 1))
The introduction of novelty is left out.
THE INTRODUCTORY PART OF THE CLASS: the film about Columbus is replaced with
adequate pictures; the rest of the introductory part of the class is unaltered.
THE MAIN PART OF THE CLASS AND THE CLOSING: the content of this part of the class
is identical to the abovementioned, apart from the fact that the teacher uses the mind map and the
blackboard for the main theses instead of the slides. The teacher mostly uses the dialogue
monologue method in order to achieve the aforementioned goals. The picture copies used for this
educational unit are demonstrated with the purpose of making the class more remarkable, as well
as developing and stimulating visual memory.
