Part 5

Ласточка пролетела над городом и вернулась к Принцу.

Swallow: I saw the rich making merry in their beautiful houses. The beggars were sitting at the gates. I saw the white faces of starving children. Hear! Hear! A lot of poor people pray to survive and earn their living. Hear! Hear!

Бедные люди вместе с детьми выходят на сцены и начинают молиться.

I lay me down to sleep,

I ask Good God my soul to keep,

And if I die before I wake,

I ask Good God my soul to take.

Prince: Swallow, little Swallow, I`m covered with gold. Take it and give it to the poor.

Ласточка снимала со статуи золото и раздавала его бедным людям с детьми.

People: We have bread now! Thank God!

Выпал снег, за снегом пришел мороз. Ласточка мерзла, но не хотела покинуть Принца, так как очень любила его. Только и хватило сил у ласточки взобраться на плечо Принцу.

Swallow: Good-bye, Prince! Will you let kiss your hand?

Prince: I am glad that you are going to Egypt at last, little Swallow!
You have stayed too long here; but you must kiss me on the lips, for I love you.

Swallow: It is not to Egypt that I am going. I am going to the House of Death.

Она поцеловала принца и мертвая упала к его ногам.

Part 6.

Мэр города выходит на сцену и подходит к статуе, осматривает ее со всех сторон.

Mayor: Dear me! Is this the statue of the Happy Prince? How shabby he looks! His eyes are gone, he is not golden any more. He is little better than a beggar! He is not beautiful. He is ugly. Take him away. Oh! What`s this? Dead bird? Birds aren`t allowed to die here. Take it away.

Fairy: Don`t worry, little Swallow, don`t worry, Happy Prince.

People don`t know what beauty is. You are the two precious things in the city. I shall take you to the sky , for in my garden you`ll be happy.
You really deserve your happiness!

Все "актеры" выходят на сцену, кланяются.

Ход урока:

Teacher: Good morning, dear friends! Today we are going to speak about the greatest English writer W. Shakespeare. Everyone, I think, has a favourite Shakespeare play in his memory: Othello, King, Lear, Romeo and
Juliet. We don`t know a lot about Shakespeare`s biography, but today we are going to imagine some moments from his life. (Танцуют девушки. Молодой
Шекспир подходит к одной из них).

William: Excuse me, young lady! I don`t know your name. You danced so gracefully. You look like a tender flower!

Anna: Oh, no, sir. Please, don`t joke. I can`t talk to you.

William: Don`t be shy. What`s your name?

Anna: My name is Anna, Anna Hathaway.

William: Your name is so sweet, so lovely. And I am William
Shakespeare.

Anna: Ive heard that surname. Your father is a famous glovermaker, isn`t he?

William: You are right. And what about your family?

Anna: My parents are only farmers.

William: But my mother is a farmer`s daughter.

Anna: I`m sorry, but I must go. My father is very punctual. Good bye!

William: Good bye, my rose, I expect to meet you again.

Pupil 1: William married Anna in November, 1582, and she came to live in Henley street. William`s father was pleased that his eldest son got married; but William`s mother didn`t want him to marry so young: Will was only 18. The first daughter – Susannah – was born the next year. And in
1585 the twins – Hamnet and Judith – were born.

William: Twins! A girl and a boy! Anna, I`m pleased.

Anna: Quiet, Willy ! You`ll frighten them.

(Стук в дверь).

William: Who`s that, I wonder?

Anna: That`s one of your wild friends, I think.

William: I`ll open the door.

Toby: Good morning, Anna. How are you?

William: We are happy. It`s two of them. Twins! A girl and a boy. We call them Hamnet and Judith.

Toby: Are you really happy?

William: Yes and no. Stratford is too small, too quiet, too boring.
I`ve got to leave it.

Toby: But how? You`ve got a family.

Pupil 1: In the summer months, companies of actors came to Stratford.
William liked to talk to the actors and to listen to all the stories of
London.

Pupil 2: But William didn`t like those plays. He said they were stupid plays, with not a word of truth in them. He wanted to write his own plays.

William: Anna, listen to me. I`m going to leave for London. I want to be actor, and to write plays.

Anna: Plays! Acting! Actors are dirty, wicked people. They never go to church.

William: Don`t be stupid. You know that`s not true.

Anna: How can you tell this to me? And what about the children?

William: I`ll come home, when I can, but I must go to London. I can`t do anything in Stratford.

Pupil 1: In 1587 Shakespeare went to work in London leaving Anne and the children at home.

Pupil 2: In London Shakespeare began to write plays and soon became an important member of a well-known acting company.

His life was very hard; but he was young, talented, romantic.

Pupil 3: The first tragedy that brought great popularity to
Shakespeare was Romeo and Juliet. This tragedy was the first play that reflected the real feelings of love.

Pupil 4: The last part of our lesson is devoted to Shakespeare`s sonnets. Today we`d like to read and discuss only one sonnet, number 130.

Teacher: William Shakespeare describes his beloved woman in this sonnet. She is not beautiful. Can you imagine this woman?

She was not perfect and beautiful, but Shakespeare loved her. He compared her with a godness. What do you think? Why did he love her?

Shakespeare`s love was love to an ordinary woman.

Teacher: Dear friends! It was a very interesting lesson and I hope you`ll remember it for long time.

Greeter: Hi! My name is Vladimir.Welcome to "Only love is spoken here"
– a musical program presented by our class. You won`t see any scenery – only love; no costumes - only love. There isn`t any Storyline - only love.
So, if you are bitter, pessimistic, angry, selfish – outside! Only love is spoken here.

Song 1.

1.

Only love is spoken here.

Only hope and joy and cheer,

Only love is spoken, love is spoken here!

Only love is spoken here.

There`s no doubt not hate nor fear,

Only love is spoken, love is spoken here!

Treating others like they are your brothers

Is the only way to live.

Always caring, yes, and always sharing, yes,

The secret is to give.

4.

Only love is spoken here.

Only hope and joy and cheer,

Only love is spoken, love is spoken here!

Pupil 1: Love – L –O- V – E only four letters, but it`s a big word. A lot of people have their idea about what it means.

Pupil 2: Albert Schweitzer said that as long as there are people in the world, who are hungry, sick, lonely or living in fear, they are my responsibility. That is love.

Pupil 3: Robert Frost said, "We love the things we love for what they are".

Pupil 4: Someone once said, "Love is not getting, but giving – it is goodness, honour and peace".

Pupil 5: And speaking of peace and goodness, have you looked at the newspaper lately? There`s lot of poverty, hunger and crime out there.

Pupil 6: I wish more people would care about one another, be givers – not takers. Let`s sing about how it should be – that`s what our play is all about.

Song 2.

Let`s sing about you,

Let`s sing about me,

Let`s sing about things

We fell and we see.

Let`s sing about you,

Let`s sing about me,

Let`s sing about things,

The way they should be.

Let`s sing about the world

That`s always happy,

Sing about the world,

That`s always fair,

Sing about the world,

That`s always giving,

Sing about the world,

Where people care,

So, let`s sing about you,

Let`s sing about me,

Let`s sing about things

Wie fell and we see.

Let`s sing about you,

Let`s sing about me,

Let`s sing about things,

The way they should be.

Pupil 7: I guess before we try to change the whole world, we`ve got to like ourselves first – starting with the way that we look.

Pupil 2: It`s amazing, how many kids don`t like the way they look.

Pupil 3: But not we! Right?

All: Right !!!
