On the topic of natural phenomena and disasters. The text can become the basis for a school essay or presentation

Natural disasters like earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunami and floods happen more frequently nowadays. There are many reasons why they occur, but the main one is related to human activity on Earth which often has a negative impact on our environment.

All kinds of disasters are usually very damaging. Many dwellings, roads and even whole streets and cities are ruined. The number of victims usually terrifies as hundreds or even thousands of people get injured or die in disasters. However, each disaster has a different nature.

For example, an earthquake is the result of the tectonic plates’ movement which leads to the shaking of a certain area on land. Earthquakes destroy buildings and people usually become victims because they get stuck or killed under the rubble.

Tornado is also a natural disaster which looks like an enormous column of the wind which lifts cars, bicycles, furniture and many other things. It is also called a twister and it can be very dangerous if touches the surface of the ground or water.

Flood in its turn happens when rivers burst their banks. Most extended floods damage cities and wash away whole populated places. Tsunami is another natural disaster which arises as a series of huge waves caused by underwater earthquakes.

Thus, there are many natural disasters which are dangerous for all of us. We should be careful and treat our planet better in order not to die with it.

Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis and floods are now occurring more frequently. There are many reasons why they occur, but the main reason is due to human activities, which often have a negative impact on our environment.

All types of natural disasters are usually destructive. Many buildings, roads and even entire streets and cities are destroyed. The number of victims is usually horrific, as hundreds and even thousands of people are injured or die in disasters. However, each cataclysm has its own nature.

For example, an earthquake is the result of the movement of tectonic plates, which leads to the shaking of a certain area of ​​​​the earth. Earthquakes destroy buildings, and people usually become victims by getting stuck or dying under the rubble.

Tornado - also refers to natural disasters, which looks like a huge column of wind that lifts cars, bicycles, furniture and many other things above the ground. A tornado is also called a whirlwind and can be quite dangerous if it touches the surface of the earth or water.

Goals and objectives of the lesson:

• repeat the topics studied;
• develop listening, speaking, reading, translation skills;
• to deepen interdisciplinary connections and knowledge of students in other subjects, in particular geography.

During the classes

I.

The lesson starts with organizational moment, during which the teacher tells the students the topic (slide 2) and talks about the tasks to be solved during the lesson.

“Hello, everyone. Glad to see you. Sit down, please. Today we are going to talk about extreme natural phenomena and we’ll learn a lot of interesting facts.”

II.

“First comes warming-up. Let's review two rhymes about the weather.”

Rainbow at night
Is the sailor's delight.
Rainbow at morning,
Sailor take warning!
Evening red and morning gray
Are the signs of a bonny day.
Evening gray and morning red
Bring down rain on the farmer's head.

III.

Next, students get acquainted with the names of some extreme natural phenomena in English (slide 4). If students find it difficult to translate a particular word, they, as always in the lesson, can use the dictionary.

“Look at the blackboard /screen/. Let’s read and translate some extreme natural phenomena.”

1. An eclipse.
2. A tsunami.
3. A typhoon.
4. A hurricane.
5. A tornado.
6. An eruption.
7. An earthquake.
8. A flood.

After the words are translated and their correct pronunciation is worked out, students are offered explanations of all these words (slide 4):

“And now you can see the definitions of these extreme natural phenomena. Read and match. Five minutes at your disposal.”

a. a violent storm with extremely strong winds and heavy rains.

b. a process when a volcano explodes inside and flames, rocks and lava come out of the top.

c. a large amount of water that covers an area that was dry before.

d. a short period when all or part of the Sun or Moon becomes dark because of the positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth in relation to each other.

e. a tropical storm with strong winds

f. a sudden shaking movement of the ground

g. a very strong wind that goes quickly round in a circle or funnel

h. a very large wave that causes a lot of damage when it hits the land

Students independently read and translate the definition of words and match the word with its definition, for example 1-b, 2-g, etc. When most of the students completed the task, the teacher invites the students to test themselves by showing the correct answers: 1-d, 2-h, 3-e, 4-a, 5-g, 6-b, 7-f, 8-c(slide 5).

After that, students take turns reading the resulting sentences (slide 5).

“And now let’s read and translate these sentences.”

1. An eclipse isa short period when all or part of the Sun or Moon becomes dark because of the positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth in relation to each other.
2. A tsunami isa very large wave that causes a lot of damage when it hits the land.
3. A typhoon is a tropical storm with strong winds.
4. A hurricane isa violent storm with extremely strong winds and heavy rains.
5. A tornado isa very strong wind that goes quickly round in a circle or funnel.
6. An eruption isa process when a volcano explodes inside and flames, rocks and lava come out of the top.
7. An earthquake isa sudden shaking movement of the ground.
8. A flood isa large amount of water that covers an area that was dry before.

“Now let's read and answer the questions.”

1. What is...?
2. Which of these natural phenomena is the most dangerous? Why?
3. Have you ever seen anything like this yourself?
4. Where do … often happen on the Earth?
5. What famous volcanoes do you know? Where are they?
6. Why do people give names to tornadoes? to typhoons? to hurricanes?

This type of work is carried out in several modes: student - student, class - student, student - class.

IV.

The next stage of the lesson is working with text. "Volcanoes"(slide 7).

“Next comes the text “Volcanoes”. Your task is to read and translate it. Try to understand as much as possible.”

There are a lot of volcanoes on the Earth. A volcano is a mountain that forces hot gas, rocks, ash and lava into the air through a hole at the top. Some volcanoes are not immediately dangerous because they are not active and have become dormant. Others will never be dangerous again because they are completely extinct. Active volcanoes can erupt. Some of them erupt slowly and quietly. This slow eruption can last for months or even years. Sometimes volcanoes erupt very quickly and noisily.

Under the surface of the earth it is very hot. The rocks are not hard and solid. They are thick and liquid. This liquid rock is called magma. Sometimes there is an opening in the rocks on the surface. Then magma can come up through this opening and the volcano erupts. Dust and pieces of rock are thrown up into the air. Red hot lava pours down the sides of the mountains. Later on, the lava cools and becomes hard rock.

Then students are asked to restore the correct word order in sentences (slide 8).

v.

An animated picture of a volcano eruption appears on the screen. Students look at it and their task is to comment on what is happening on the screen by filling in the callouts (slide 10).

“Look at the screen please. The volcano is erupting. Please comment what is happening.”

After this task, if time permits, students can be invited to watch a short video clip (albeit in Russian) about a volcanic eruption (the video clip is taken from the electronic version of the encyclopedia of Cyril and Methodius).

After the video clip, one of the students tells in English how the volcano erupts (slide 12).

VI.

The next stage of the lesson is devoted to the city of Pompeii. For five to seven minutes, students read the text on their own (slide 13), and then perform several tasks for this text.

“Your next task is to read the text about the Italian town of Pompeii. While reading choose the best title for the text from your point of view.”

North of Pompeii there is a mountain called Mount Vesuvius. It is a volcano. The people who lived in Pompeii two thousand years ago were not afraid of the volcano. It had been quiet for eight hundred years.

Then in August one year strange things started to happen. People heard noises under the ground. The water in their wells disappeared. Birds flew away from the town. Animals were frightened. On August 24th Mount Vesuvius erupted. Hot dust and rock was thrown 20 kilometers into the air. Red-hot lava and rock poured down the sides of the mountain. The wind was blowing towards Pompeii and the hot dust fell on the town. It made breathing difficult for people. Many people ran away but many people stayed there. They did not know that a wall of lava was coming towards the town at more than 1000 kilometers an hour. The next day the town of Pompeii was buried under four meters of lava. Everyone who had stayed in the town died. The town stayed buried until 1860. in that year archaeologists started to move the rock which covered the town. They found temples, theaters, shops and houses, paintings, jewelry and coins. They found the town just as it was nearly two thousand years ago when it disappeared under the lava from Mount Vesuvius.

Students are given four titles of the text, they choose the best from their point of view (slide 13).

The next task that students perform in the text is to determine whether the sentence matches the text or not (slide 14).

“Read these sentences and say whether they are true or false.”

1. The people of Pompeii were frightened of Mount Vesuvius.
2. Nothing unusual happened before the volcano erupted.
3. It was a very big eruption.
4. The lava moved slowly.
5. When the volcano erupted, everybody left the town.
6. The town was buried for nearly 2,000 years.

The next task for the text is work with numerals, of which there are quite a lot in the text (slide 15). First, students remember how quantitative two-digit, three-digit, four-digit and ordinal numbers are read in English, then they make up mini-dialogues (slide 15):

Give me a number, please.

- (a sentence from the text)

Another version of the same mini-dialog:

Give me a number, please.

VII.

The next task for students is as follows. Students are given information about two famous volcanoes - Vesuvius and Krakatoa (slide 17). Many facts are confused. The task of students is to correctly divide the information into two groups.

“Now look at the screen again, please. You see some information about the two famous volcanoes. Some of these facts are mixed up. Please divide all this information into two groups correctly.”

1. 2,000 years ago Pompeii was a busy town.
2. There was a volcano on this island.
3. The volcano had been quiet for 800 years.
4. The volcano erupted on the 26th of August, 1883.
5. The waves in the sea were 15 meters high.
6. Hot dust and rock was thrown 20 kilometers into the air.
7. About 36,000 people died.
8. People heard the noise of the eruption 4,300 kilometers away from the island.
9. The ash from the volcano covered the area of ​​800,000 km2.
10. They found the town just as it was nearly two thousand years ago.

1. It was a small beautiful island in Indonesia.
2. North of the town there was a volcano.
3. The volcano erupted on the 24th of August, 73.
4. A wall of lava was coming towards the town at more than 100 kilometers an hour.
5. The waves traveled 13,000 kilometers and destroyed houses and villages.
6. The town was buried under 4 meters of lava.
7. About 20,000 people died.
8. In 1860 archeologists started to move the rock which covered the town.
9. For three years people all over the world saw beautiful bright sunsets because of the dust from Krakatoa.
10. The volcano erupted again in 1927 and in 1950.

After completing the task, students again have the opportunity to check themselves (slides 18 and 19).

And the last task of the students is to choose any of the two volcanoes and talk about it. As an introduction to their story, students can use the information they already know (slides 4,7, 9).

“Now choose any volcano you like more and make a story about it. You can use all the information about volcanoes you know. You can begin with the definition of a volcano, how it erupts, etc.”

VIII.

Students' homework is creative in nature and includes several options:

- prepare a presentation about volcanoes
- write an essay about the eruption of Vesuvius or Krakatoa from the point of view of a reporter - an eyewitness or a resident of this city / island
- find information about some other famous volcano
