  1. Урок насичений різними видами діяльності. Відпрацювавши його, вчитель і учні досягнуть поставлених цілей та мети. Але от СВЯТА у них на такому уроці не буде. Цікава вправа Let’s Celebrate Friend’s birthday. Доповню нею свої уроки на тему Happy Birthday! у молодшій школі. Дякую!

  2. Конспект написаний у незвичному форматі. Відсутня триєдина мета, що є на сьогоднішній день якраз правильно. Використовуються інтерактивні методи навчання, які сприяють розвитку комунікативних навичок. Для учнів 7-8 років можна провести фізкультхвилинку
