III. Основная часть урока

a) Эх. 8, г. 19 - Work in groups.

Discuss the newspapers and magazines you read. Write a list of things that can keep young readers interested in the newspaper articles. Present your ideas to other pupils in class.

b) Ex. 7, p. 18 - Listen (p. 249) to the children and say which editions in the picture on page 19 they are talking about. Tick things they are attracted by.

c) Ex. 6, p. 18 - Read the information. Do you agree with the author's opinion? Give reasons to support your idea:

Children and youth are reading newspapers and magazines much less than their parents did at the same age, choosing instead to get their news from radio, mobile phones and computers. They have grown up in a digital world. In a few years this huge generation will be 18 or older.

If a newspaper remains a vital source of news for decades to come, we have to make children and youth read it now.

d) About Thomas Alva Edison (handouts):

When Edison was a boy of fifteen he worked as a telegraph operator. He had to be on duty from 7 p. m. to 7 a. m. and give a signal every hour to prove that he did not sleep. The signals were made with astonishing exactness. One night an inspector arrived and saw Edison sleeping in a chair.

The inspector was about to shake him when he caught sight of a mechanism on a table near the telegraph instrument. He waited to see what would happen. When the hand of the clock pointed to the hour, the instrument got busy and one level threw open the key while the other sent the signal over the wire.

The inspector seized the sleeping boy, roused him and fired him. That's why the first of Edison's numerous inventions was never patented.

e) Comment on the following points:

· Why did the inspector arrived one night?

· What was Edition doing? Was he performing his duty?

· What devices were on the telegraph table?

· What do you think of Edison's first invention?

· Was the inspector right in this case?

· What would you do if you were in Edison's (inspector's) shoes?

Retell the story as if you were Edison (inspector).
