3. Pupil 1(P1) –Looming out of the eventful pages of Ukrainian history and casting all
others into the shadow, is the figure of Taras Shevchenko – the great Ukrainian poet,
painter and martyr. Even nowadays all Ukrainian people fall under the sway of his
influence. The unusual power of his works have evoked for him such a feeling of
love, respect and submission among our people. He was a great poet, who became
world famous – when our Ukrainian language became known among other
nationalities.
Pupils show the presentation: “Taras Shevchenko – the Great Ukrainian Poet,
Painter and Martyr”.
P1 – T.G. Shevchenko had his uneasy and full of experience life but he never
withdrew his desires to see the Ukrainian people living freely and happily. He wrote
about it in his poems and now we’ll listen to our classmates who will recite some
poems by T. Shevchenko.
The pupils recite the poems by T.G. Shevchenko:
- “Kobzar” (translated by John Weir, 1961) (SB p.75, ex.4)
- “I’m Looking at the Sky” ( translated by A. Bezborodov)( Додаток 2)
2) Хвилинка відпочинку.(Звучитьаудіо запис гри на кобзі):
T. – Now let’s relax. I propose you to listen to music of the national Ukrainian
instrument “kobza” which was popular during the days when T.G. Shevchenko lived.
Try imagine yourselves living in that time.(Учні виходять на середину класу,
беруться за руки та виконують вправи, схожі на український танок)

books on this shelf written by him and dedicated to him. Now I want to read an
article about T. Shevchenko’s works. After my reading you will have to do a task. Be

III. Заключна частина уроку (FinalPart)
P1 – In1859 Shevchenko was allowed to visit Ukraine and it turned out to be his last
visit before his death on March 10, 1861. At first he was buried in St. Petersburg but
his friends wanted to fulfill the poet’s wish that he had expressed in his “Testament”
and took his remains to Ukraine, where he was buried on a high hill over the
DniproRiver, near the town of Kaniv.
Two pupils of the form recite the poem “Testament” in two versions: Ukrainian and
English. (Додаток 3)
T. – The creative group of pupils got the task beforehand. They tried to translate the
poem by T.G. Shevchenko “Думи мої, думи мої” (1847). It’s their first experience
in translating poems into English. Let’s listen to them. (The pupil recites the poem.)
(Додаток 4)
P1 – It is difficult to estimate the value of T.G. Shevchenko for Ukrainian and the
world literature. He shows the heart of Ukrainian people to everyone who cares and
if you want to understand “the mysterious Ukrainian soul” - read the poems of T.
Shevchenko and look at his drawings and paintings.

I’mlooking at thesky
I’m looking at the sky and thinking about
Why I’m not a falcon, why I’ not flying,
Why have not you given me wings, my dear God?
I would live this land and fly in this sky!
Along way behind clouds, a long way from this world
To look for a good fate regards instead of grief
And ask kind affection at stars and the sun,
And sink all my troubles in their clear light.
Because from my childhood a fate did not like me
I’m hireling at my fate and wandering fellow
I’m strange at a fate and neighbouring people.
Did ever somebody love own child!
Translated by A. Bezborodov

Testament
Did my grave and raise my barrow
By the Dnieper – side
In Ukraine, my old land,
A fair land and wide.
I will lie and watch the cornfields,
Listen through the years
To the river voices roaring,
Roaring in my ears.
Bury me; be done with me,
Rise and break your chain,
Water your new liberty
With blood for rain.
Then in the mighty family
Off all men that are free,
May be, sometimes, very softly
You will speak of me?
Translated by E.L. Voinich (1864-1960)

Думи мої, думи мої
Thoughts, my thoughts
Думи мої, думи мої,Thoughts, my thoughts
Ви мої єдині,
You’re the only mine,
Не кидайте хоч ви мене
Don’t leave me alone
При лихій годині.
When I have a bad time.
Прилітайте, сизокрилі
Come flying, my dear,
Мої голуб’ята,
Dove-coloured ideas,
Із-за Дніпра широкого
У степ погуляти
З киргизами убогими.
Вони вже убогі,
Уже голі… Та на волі
Ще моляться богу.
From behind the wide Dnipro
To the step for walking
With poor kirghizes.
They’ve already been poor
And too bare…But those who’re free
Are still praying to God of theirs.
Прилітайте ж, мої любі.
Come flying, my dear thoughts,
Тихими речами
You are like little children,
Привітаю вас, як діток,
I’ll greet you with quiet words
І заплачу з вами.
And we’ll have cried together.
