В рамках изучения страноведения США, мы не могли оставить без внимания эпоху джаза, ребятам необходимо было собрать интересные факты по данной теме к уроку, который мы начали с красочной презентации, учащиеся активно её дополняли, приводили примеры:
Я приготовила небольшой текст, который помог нам собрать всю информацию воедино, а также изобиловал новой лексикой.
What was the Roaring Twenties?
The Roaring Twenties was the period following the end of WW1 when Americans wanted to enjoy their new prosperity and have fun. The era ended with the Great Depression of 1929.
Why was it called the Roaring Twenties?
It was called the Roaring Twenties to reflect the exuberant era of prosperity and revelry typified by the roaring of massive numbers of automobiles that filled the crowded city streets, the noisy mass production methods in the factories and industries and the sound of jazz music in the speakeasies and the radio.
What caused the Roaring Twenties?
The period in American history referred to as the Roaring Twenties was caused by the aftermath of World War One when young people wanted to forget the horrors of the war and enjoy life again. Women had gained a new level of independence, were attending college, earning wages and had been given the right to vote. Women and the young men of the 1920's were challenging traditional values and exchanging them for modern ideas. Lifestyles had changed from rural country living to the fast urban lifestyle of the crowded cities. America was beginning to prosper and new technology, mass production and labor saving devices gave Americans more time for leisure which they spent at the movies, dance clubs and great sporting events. Automobiles were sold in their millions and Americans roared around in their new vehicles. All of these contributed to the causes of the Roaring Twenties.

За пять минут до звонка я провела небольшую игру Крокодил: написала новую лексику на цветных карточках (вы видите их на первом фото поста), ребята выходили и объясняли на английском слово или фразу на карточке, остальные же угадывали.
