Activities
WARM UP ❑ Before watching film 8 A1, make a list of any Russian cities the class know already. What do they know about the cities? Some children may have heard of Russian Premier League Football teams such as Spartak Moscow, Dynamo Moscow or Zenit Saint-Petersburg; others may remember that the 2014 Winter Olympics were held in Sochi on the Black Sea. ❑ Watch film 8 A1: “Where do you live?” London: we see images of London and hear how Russian speakers pronounce the name of the city. Katya and Oscar say that they live in London. Deal: We then visit Deal, a small town on the Kent coast. Sergei tells us that he lives in Deal. Kiev: Katya is speaking to her grandma via Skype. She tells us that Grandma lives in Kiev. We see images of Kiev and Grandma says that Film 8 A1: Oscar lives in London: “Я живу в Лондоне” she lives in Kiev. We then see images of different Russian cities. We hear the names pronounced and then children saying that they live in the cities: Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Sochi, Novosibirsk, Vladivostk, Murmansk. Question and answer: Russian children living in the UK answer the question “Where do you live?”
Cities in the UK and Ireland GET USED TO THE SOUNDS - online flashcards with sound and optional text ❑ Before showing the flashcards, explain to the children that when you say “I live in”, you add an “e” to the name of the place. The flashcards show this clearly: first you see an image of a city and hear the name of the city pronounced. The next flashcard presents the phrase “I live in + city” so that pupils can clearly hear the additional “e”. There are, of course, some exceptions (See HOW RUSSIAN WORKS 1). To keep things simple, you could just say that a few cities don’t follow this rule. n You could ask them to listen carefully to the flashcards and see if they can spot which of the cities does not have the final “e”. (Я живу в Глазго - I live in Glasgow)
SHOW 08 FLASHCARDS: UK and Ireland cities ❑ Echoing: Show each flashcard with sound and text ON. Pupils echo the phrases. From watching film A1 and listening to the flashcards, pupils will recognise that most British or international towns and cities have the same name in Russian – just add some Russian accent to it! ❑ Echoing: Now it is time for the children to say where THEY live: The class puppet asks you where you live - “Где ты живешь?” You tell the puppet which town you live in, e.g. “Я живу в + your town with ‘e” at the end and a “Russian accent”! Pupils echo the phrase. Note: Some towns may be better pronounced without the extra “e” - especially any ending in a vowel or “...ow” e.g. Glasgow, Harlow.
