(1 min.) -Hello, I am glad to see you, boys and girls! Sit down, please.
-How do you like the weather today? You know that it’s cold in November in Bashkortostan and it usually snows. What is the weather today?
-p-s: It’s snowing now. It’s rather cold.
-Do you like snowy weather? Why?

At the age of 20, he began work on the Mississipi riverboats, and became a riverboat pilot. Then he tried many different jobs. He also started writing humorous stories for newspapers and he was well-known as a writer. He wrote his first major book in 1869. He published “Tom Sawyer” in 1876 and “Huckleberry Finn” in 1884. He was famous and very popular, both in the USA and Europe, at the time of his death in 1910.

— (4 min.)Speaking:

Use the key words to re-tell the episode. The teacher gives the students the cards with words:

- Get ready for re-telling the story. Who will be the first? (1-2 students re-tell it).
— (10 min.)Dramatizing:
- It’s high time to dramatize this episode 3. Let’s choose the Widow, Tom, Huck and Jim. (the teacher gives some parts of clothes to the students – a nice hat for the Widow, a straw hat for Huck). And the author will be one of you. So the author will begin the story. (students use some sentences of ex.5,7): 3-4 sentences on each part.
(3 min.)- Well-done, students! And now at the end of our lesson I want you think what will happen to Huck when he is in town. It will be your homework. Write down, please, ex.8 p.43 (in written form). I want to put you marks, open your record-books, please, write down your homework. Your marks are… (writing in their record-books)/
- Well, students, let’s finish our work with a song. Do you remember “Jingle, bells”- a nice Christmas song? Let’s sing it together (students sing “Jingle, bells”).
