Ход урока
1. Учитель: Who really discovered America?
2. Ответ учеников.
You are right. And what’s here at the screen?
American sights.
Yes. Today we’ll speak about American natural sights.
For centuries, Christopher Columbus has managed to capture the public
imagination and is remembered in history as the man who discovered America.
Despite the fact that this is clearly not true, it has become impossible to turn this
'history' on its head. Columbus had actually set off in search of India and it is clear
from his diary that this is what he thought he had found. Moreover, people had
been living in America, the land he 'discovered' , for many thousands of years
before he arrived. It is difficult to know why his reputation has survived so long.
Columbus wasn't even the first European to reach America. That had already
happened 500 years before. In 982, Eirik the Red, chief of the Viking tribes on the
island of Iceland, set sail and with the many people who went with him, set up a
colony on the coast of Greenland.
It is in this light that we should judge the achievements of Columbus. In many
ways he was certainly a hero, but the fact remains that he is famous for something
that was achieved by someone 500 years before.
2. Ответить на вопросы
Why is Columbus remembered in history?
Is it true or not?
What can you say about this fact?
Where had he actually set off?
Why do people think so?
What about the people living on that land? So Columbus wasn't even the first European to reach America, was he?
What had happened 500 years before?
But in many ways he was certainly a hero, wasn't he?
3. Подготовленные выступления учеников об Америке:
In March, some years ago…
March 30, 1867: U.S. Purchased Alaska from Russia.
Russia’s claim to Alaska went back to the early eighteenth century, when Vitus
Jonassen Bering explored the region. However, the Russians considered their
North American territory an economic wasteland, and made little effort to develop
or colonize the region. Russia initially approached the United States about selling
the territory in 1860, during President James Buchanan’s administration,but
negotiations were delayed by the Civil War.
The negotiations were concluded with the signing of a treaty on March 30, 1867.
Under the terms of the treaty, the U.S. acquired full control of the former Russian
possession for a price of $7,200,000, or approximately 2 cents an acre for the
586,412squaremile territory.
Seward’s thinking appeared less foolish by the late 1890s, when the discovery of
gold greatly increased Alaska’s value as a U.S. possession.
У 2 America’s Last Great Wilderness.
Many people have come north to the largest state in the U.S. to look for a more
peaceful life, or to enjoy the beauty of nature and the freedom of Alaska’s wide
open spaces. Some newcomers prefer a life alone in the wilderness. Other people
come to Alaska’s growing cities to work in the fishing and lumber industries and
the oil business.
There are several very large national parks in Alaska. Mt. McKinley in Denali
National Park is 20,230 feet high. It is the highest mountain in North America. At
Glacier Bay National Park, huge walls of ice move slowly down from the
mountains into the sea. The glacier walls are about two hundred feet high at the
ocean’s edge.
One of the most special things about Alaska is the wildlife. You can see thousands
of caribou crossing the flat grasslands of the north, and huge grizzly bears in the
forests. In the fall, salmon swim up the Chilkat River and bald eagles gather in the
trees above. Both visitors and local people hunt the great wild animals for food and
for sport. And many Alaskan Natives, including Eskimos, Aleuts and Athapascan
tribal people, still live in the old way and catch animals, whales and fish.

Yellowstone, the First National Park.
Yellowstone is the United States’ first and most famous national park. This large
wilderness area is very high in the Rocky Mountains of the northwestern U. S.
It includes large areas of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, and it is bigger than the
smallest state in the U.S.
Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in 1872 and has many different
kinds of unusual scenery. Although millions of people visit the park, the land is
still unchanged – still a wilderness. The valley of the Yellowstone River has
beautifully coloured rocks and three large waterfalls. In the early morning or
evening, visitors sometimes see moose, large deerlike animals, or buffalo eating
grass along the shores of Lake Yellowstone.
In winter, Yellowstone Park is covered with heavy snow, but visitors still come to
ski and skate. With clouds of steam above them and snow all around,
Yellowstone’s hot springs look even more wonderful.
