16. How I Can Employ It
Possible tasks:
• To write a cinquain on the basis of one of
Monet’s pictures, using the new vocabulary
• To make a project – comparison of a
Monet’s work and one of some Russian
impressionist
• To create their own impressionist-like
drawing and comment on it
• To reflect on the knowledge acquired
during the lesson in the form of a reflective
table( what I knew/What I’ve learnt)

17. How I Can Employ It
• Teach new vocabulary related to the topic
“Art” and develop speaking and writing
skills (describing students own art works,
impressionist works, writing a cinquain)
• Develop the students in aesthetic way
• Develop critical thinking and project work
skills ( comparison of Monet’s pictures with
some other Russian Impressionist)
• Develop students’ creative skills (writing
cinquains, creating their own impressionist
– like work)

18. • To raise the students’ interest in
learning ( on the basis of personally-
oriented tasks)
• To give the opportunity to express their
own opinion (project-work, writing a
cinquain)
• To teach self-reflection
