TASK 3 · 5 points
Reading: Irish Stories
Instructions:
Read the text. Answer questions 1–3 with a short answer. For 4–5, copy the exact word or words from the text.
Ireland — A Land of Stories
In Ireland, storytelling is an old and respected tradition. Long ago, people did not have books or TVs, so they sat around a warm fire and listened to a storyteller. In the Irish language, this person is called a seanchaí. A seanchaí could remember hundreds of stories and tell them in a clear, exciting voice.
Irish stories come in two big groups: myths and legends tell us about giants, saints, warriors and kings; folk tales bring us smaller, funnier characters like fairies, elves and leprechauns. A leprechaun is a tiny shoemaker who hides his gold in a secret location.
The heroes of these stories go on incredible adventures. They overcome great obstacles and fight magical beasts. Finn Mac Cumhal is one of the most famous champions: he led the Fianna, a brave group of warriors who protected the High Kings. Today, children in Ireland still learn and love these tales.
Author-adapted classroom text (about 150 words).
Closed questions (short answer)
1. Did people in old Ireland watch TV around the fire? ________________
2. Who protects the High Kings of Ireland? ________________
3. Where does a leprechaun hide his gold? ________________

УЧИТЕЛЮ
Рекомендации по использованию
Цели и связь с уроком
Рабочий лист дополняет основной урок «The Gift of Storytelling»: новая лексика, новый авторский текст о ирландских историях и продуктивные задания. Блок с электронным письмом не используется.
Результат: ученик понимает текст, пересказывает факты и пишет короткую версию народной сказки.
Организация работы
• Задания 1–2 — индивидуально, проверка в паре (5–7 мин).
• Задание 3 — самостоятельное чтение, ответы с опорой на текст (5–7 мин).
• Задание 4 — индивидуально, фронтальная проверка Past Simple (5–6 мин).
• Задание 5 — заполнение плана индивидуально, устный пересказ в парах (8–10 мин).
• Задание 6 — письменная работа, можно завершить дома (10+ мин).
Дифференциация
• Слабая группа: готовые начала фраз из Phrase bank; сокращённый план (только герои, проблема, мораль).
• Средняя группа: полное заполнение плана; письменная сказка 60–70 слов.
• Сильная группа: объяснить значение слов без перевода; своя мораль и два описательных словосочетания.
Оценивание
• Закрытые задания (1–4) — по 1 баллу за пункт, всего 28 баллов.
• Задание 5 — 8 баллов за заполненный план; устный пересказ оценивается отдельно.
• Задание 6 — 10 баллов по авторским критериям (см. стр. 10).
• Общая сумма: 46 баллов. Шкала перевода: 41–46 = «5»; 33–40 = «4»; 24–32 = «3»; < 24 — доработать.
Проверка и обратная связь
• Самопроверка по чек-листу (Task 6) до сдачи работы.
• Взаимопроверка в паре для Tasks 1–3: использовать ключи на стр. 8.
• Образец сказки на стр. 9 — только модель объёма и структуры, не образец для списывания.
• Автор-адаптированный материал; не воспроизводит оригинальный текст учебника.
