Ход урока

Good morning, boys and girls!

Our aim is to generalize our knowledge on this question and to get to know with something new for us, concerning mass media.

Today we are having our lesson-conference on “Mass media”.

I’m glad to see the participants of our conference from different companies.

You are all representatives of some means of communicating with large numbers of people. They are traditionally called the media. But what are their definitions? Your task is to match the words and their definitions.

• Television

• Newspaper

• Tabloid

• The Internet

• Radio

1. a paper printed and sold usually daily or weekly with news, advertisements etc.;

2. the process of sending and receiving messages through the air; broadcasting programmes for people to listen to;

3. broadcasting programmes (the news, plays, advertisements, shows, etc.) for people to watch on their television sets;

4. a newspaper with rather small pages, many pictures and little serious news;

5. a way to communicate with your partner who might be a thousand miles away using the computer (e-mails).

Now listen to the tape to check up your task.

We know about politics, crimes, cultural and sporting events. We can hardly imagine our life without Mass-Media.

Mass-media has changed our lives in many ways. It has brought many positive things but also many negative things. Work in a small group. Think hard! During our lesson fill the points in the two lists.

THE EFFECTS OF MASS-MEDIA

Positive	Negative
You can learn a lot.	It takes a lot of your time.

I’m interested what mass-media the most popular are? Do you know?

Света: Some people of our school were asked by me. The question was: Which of the media you like best of all? (Презентация учащегося)

Do you agree with it?

Кирилл: I agree with you completely.

Modern computer technology is the most important recent development in telecommunications. Computers can now communicate with each other by telephone. The Internet is a worldwide network of computers. People can use the Internet to contact other computer users.

The Internet has huge data bases of digital information (compact discs have digital information). For example, The Oxford English Dictionary has 20 volumes – it has 21,728 pages and it weighs 66 kilos. All this information fits on one compact disc. Have you any questions?

Алена: I have. Every day more and more people are using the Net for criminal purposes?

Кирилл: However, the Internet has its good side too that of rapid communication. If you want to contact someone in another part of the world fast, the Internet could be for you.

Аня: But we get a lot of information from TV too.

Television can often present information to us in more effective way than books can. It can also make things more memorable.
