Ведущий 1 (читает стихотворение):

What passing -bells for these who die as cattle?

Only the monstrous anger of the guns.

Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons.

No mockeries for them from prayers or bells,

Nor any voice of mourning face the choirs,

The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;

And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

Teacher:

This poem is called Anthem for Doomed Youth (Гимн обреченной молодежи). It’s a poem about the

inhumanity of war. The young men are giving their lives for a senseless war. Instead of church bells, the

only sounds they hear when they die are the sounds of guns.

The poem was written in 1917 by Wilfred Owen, one of the most well-known war poets. (на экране

портрет Уилфреда Оуэна) He wrote it when he was serving for the British army in the First World War.

Less than a year later Owen was killed in battle. He was only 25. He was inspired to write this poem

because he saw the madness of that terrible and senseless war. He saw that young men who died in

battle were treated like animals. Wilfred Owen was awarded the Military cross in recognition of his

courage and leadership. He died on 4 November, 1918 only a week before the end of the war. His

mother received the telegram informing of his death on Armistice Day, as church bells were ringing out

in celebration.

The First World War was the most catastrophic event in the history of European civilization. A

generation of young men died in brutal warfare. No other war changed the map of Europe so

dramatically. Three great European empires were destroyed: The German Empire, the Russian Empire,

the Austro-Hungarian Empire. About 36 nations were involved in war. 60 million soldiers were mobilized

from 1914 to 1918. Over 9 million were killed, 7 million were disabled, 15 million were seriously injured.

The war started in August, 1914 when German Troops invaded France through Belgium. Then Britain,

Russia and other countries entered the war. The war was going not only in Europe. In the Middle East the

British fought against Turkish troops in Iraq, in Palestine and in the Dardanelles. The fighting went for a

long time. In 1917 the United States entered the war. In November 1918 the Germany surrendered. On

the 11

th

of November the Armistice was signed. In 1919 King George the Fifth declared 11 November a

national holiday to honor the men who defended the country during the war. It was called the Armistice

Day. Britain’s losses in war were enormous- about one million people died and 2000000 people were

seriously wounded. This war affected the whole of British society. On that day the tribute was paid not

only to soldiers but also to their families. (на экране фото солдат времен первой мировой войны)

Teacher:

We are going to listen to the song which was very popular during the war “Keep the fires burning”. It’s a

song of love of home. It means “wait for me, I won’t be long returning”. Women were waiting at home

while their husbands and sons were away fighting the war.

(Звучит первый куплет песни и во время исполнения припева на сцену выходят девочки и

присоединяются к исполнению припева.) На экране слова песни “Keep the fires burning” (припев).

Sung by Nathan Lay (my-hit.fm)

Chorus:

Keep the Home Fires Burning,

While your hearts are yearning.

Though your lads are far away

They dream of home.

There’s a silver lining

Through the dark clouds shining,

Turn the dark cloud inside out

Till the boys come home.

The first Armistice day was held on the grounds of Buckingham Palace in London. Then it became very

popular. Many people decided to change the name of the Armistice day into the Remembrance Day. It

happened after the Second World War. The two minutes moment of silence is observed during the

Armistice Day. The first minute is used to respect the 20 million people killed in the First World War. The

second minute is used to commemorate the persons who are left behind such as the families, wives and

children. Special church services are held to remember those who died at war. Public figures lay wreaths

and flowers at war memorials. The main ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall in London.

The Queen lays the first wreath at the Cenotaph. Small wooden crosses are put by the memorials to

remember relatives who died in war. Many people wear poppies on their clothes. These flowers are a

symbol of mourning. They are traditionally sold in the streets everywhere. The money collected in this

way were used to help the men who were injured during the war and their dependents. (на экране

The red poppy has become a symbol of Remembrance Day due to the poem “In Flanders Fields”.

The poem was written by John McCrae. (на экране демонстрируются слайды с портретом Джона

Макрея, его мемориала в Бельгии и дома-музея в Канаде)

John McCrae was a doctor and a poet from Canada. He spent his childhood in Ontario and his early

poem were published in Canadian magazines and newspapers. In 1914 the First World War broke and

McCrae joined the Army. He joined the fighting unit as a gunner and a medical officer. MсCrae fought in

the Flanders region of Belgium. The German army attacked positions of the Canadians with chlorine gas.

It was one of the first chemical attacks in the history of war. His close friend, Alexis Helmer, was killed

during the battle on May 2. McCrae buried his friend himself. He noted how quickly poppies grow over

the graves of those who died at Flanders field. The next days he composed the poem “In Flanders

Fields”. The place where the poem was written is known today as John McCrae Memorial Site. McCrae

died of pneumonia in military hospital in 1918 and was buried with full military honours. McCrae’s

birthplace in Guelph, Ontario has been converted into a museum dedicated to his life and the war.

In Flanders Fields.

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly.

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

(на экране слова стихотворения)

Teacher:

Flanders is located in the north of Belgium. Flanders Fields was the place of severe battles during the

First World War. There died a lot of British soldiers. Flanders Fields is a poem about all the soldiers who

sacrificed their lives in the war. They didn’t want it to be in vain. They want people to keep on fighting

and defeat the enemy. A field of poppies look like a field of blood. Red poppy symbolizes blood of fallen

soldiers.

Ведущий 5.

“In Flanders Fields” was published in December 1915. It became the most popular poem of its era.

McCrae received a great number of letters and telegrams praising his work. It was translated into

numerous languages. Soldiers took encouragement from it. It was one of the most quoted works during

the war.

In 1918, inspired by “In Flanders Fields”, American professor Moina Michael started wearing a poppy in

memory of the millions who died on the battlefield. She also wrote a poem in response called “We Shall

Keep the Faith”

Ведущий 6. (читает стихотворение We Shall Keep the Faith)

We Shall Keep the Faith.

Oh! You who sleep in Flanders Fields,

Sleep sweet-to rise anew!

We caught the torch you threw

And holding high, we keep the Faith

With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red

That grows on fields where valor led;

It seems to signal to the skies

That blood of heroes never dies,

But lends a luster to the red

Of the flower that blooms above the dead

In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red

We wear in honor of our dead.

Fear not that ye have died for naught;

We’ll teach the lesson that ye wrought

In Flanders Fields.

In 1920 a French woman Madame Guerin visited the United States of America. During her visit she

learned of the custom of wearing poppies. On her return to France she decided to use artificial poppies

to raise money for children whose fathers died at war. In 1921 the first flowers were distributed in the

country. Many countries have also adopted the tradition of wearing red poppies or decorating the graves

with these flowers on Remembrance Day.

Teacher:

We are going to listen to the song “It’s a long way to Tipperary.” It was very popular among soldiers in

the First World War. This song is also about love and longing for home.

Sung by Nathan Lay(my-hit.fm)

(На сцену выходят мальчики и присоединяются к исполнению припева)

Chorus.

It’s a long way to Tipperary,

It’s a long way to go.

It’s a long way to Tipperary

To the sweetest girl I know!

Farewell, Piccadilly,

Goodbye, Leicester Square!

It’s a long way to Tipperary,

But my heart right there.

all of human history. It was also the most widespread war in history, it involved more than 70 countries.

On September 1, 1939, the German army invaded Poland. That was the beginning of the Second World

War. In 1940 The Germans invaded Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. By

June 1940 Britain stood alone against the Nazis. German planes made bombing raids against British

cities. In 1941 Germany attacked the Soviet Union. The most ruthless and decisive events unfolded on

the territory of the Soviet Union. The battles of Moscow and Stalingrad, the courage of besieged

Leningrad and the successes at Kursk and on the Dnieper decided the outcome of World War 2. By 1943

the Soviet Army was pushing the Germany out of the USSR. In 1944 the Allied Army landed on the

French beaches . The allied soldiers were from the United States, Britain, Canada, France and many

other nations. Four months later France and Belgium were freed. Then the battle for Germany began. In

May 1945 Germany surrendered. The Second World War was the most destructive war in the history of

mankind. Its exact cost of human lives is unknown. More than 60 million people were killed. The world

suffered irreplaceable losses and bitter memories are still living in the hearts of people all over the

world.

Teacher:

Remembering those who gave their lives in wars is an important part of British culture. On the 11

th

day

of the 11

th

month at the 11

th

hour two minutes silence is observed throughout the country. People

remember those who fought and died for the country in two World Wars and war conflicts.

Remembrance Day is celebrated in many countries. Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy Day,

because it is traditional to wear artificial poppies. Thanks to the millions of people who wear flowers

each November the little red flower has never died. And neither have memories of millions of people

who died in battles.

You’ve learned a lot about history and traditions of Remembrance Day in Britain. You know that in our

country there is a holiday which is sacred for us. On that day we pay tribute to millions of people who

lost their lives in the Great Patriotic War.

What is the official name of this holiday?

(Victory Day)

You are right. It’s a sacred holiday for people of our country. There isn’t a single family who didn’t lose

someone in that war.

When is it celebrated?

(On the 9

th

of May.)

It’s a great holiday in our country. It’s a national holiday.

What are the common symbols of Victory Day in Russia?

(St. George Ribbon and Red Carnation)

You are right. People wear black and yellow ribbon on their clothes as a sign of respect and

remembrance.

How do people celebrate this holiday?

(People lay red carnations to soldiers’ tombs and war memorials, watch military parades, have family

dinners to remember relatives who took part in the war....)

What are the main national events?

(Military parades and Immortal Regiment March)

Teacher:

Marches to commemorate the participants of Great Patriotic war are held across all Russian cities and

towns and abroad. During the marches, people carry photographs of their relatives who participated in

the war. A Moment of Silence is observed at 7 p.m. throughout the country to remember all people who

died at war.

Another way in which Russian people remember the Great patriotic war is through songs. We compiled a

list of the most popular military songs. Your task is to read the lyrics and to guess what is the title of the

song. Let’s start. (на экране появляются слова песен.)

1.

Dark is the night, only bullets whistle in the steppe,

Only wind wails through the wires, stars dimly twinkle.

In this dark night, I know that you, darling, cannot sleep and secretly wipe your ears away near

the crib.

(Tyomnaya Noch) (звучит мелодия)

2.

Let him remember an ordinary girl,

And let him hear how she sings,

Let him take care of the Motherland ,

As Katyusha will take care of their love.

(Katyusha) (звучит мелодия)

3.

Oh, the roads… dust and fog,

Cold, dismay, and wild grass of the steppe….

Shot will breaks out, raven circling, Your friend in the wild grass is lying lifeless.

(Eh, Dorogi ….) (звучит мелодия)

4.

A modest little blue handkerchief fell down from her shoulders drooping

You said you will never forget affectionate, happy meetings.

(Siniy Platochek /Little Blue scarf) (звучит мелодия)

6.

It sometimes seems to me that all soldiers

Who never returned from bloody battlefields,

Do not lie in the ground where they fell,

But turned into white cranes.

(Zhuravli/Cranes) (звучит мелодия)

7.

The planet is burning and spinning,

There is smoke over our Motherland

And that means that we need our victory,

One for all. We will pay the price.

(Горит и кружится планета……) (звучит мелодия)

Teacher:

In the Second World War our country and the allied troops won a historic victory and saved

humanity from the horrors of fascism. The contribution of our people to the defeat of Nazism

was enormous. From the very first day to the last people of our country fought heroically against

the enemies. Millions of people in the fields of battle and in the rear displayed heroism, courage

and selflessness.

We shall never forget those who fought for our freedom.

A Soldier’s Prayer. 1914

Almighty and Everlasting God,

by whose Grace Thy servants are enabled

to fight the good fight of faith and ever prove victorious:

We humbly beseech Thee so to inspire us,

that we may yield our hearts to thine obedience,

and exercise out wills on Thy behalf.

Help us to think wisely:

To speak rightly: to resolve bravely:

To act kindly: to live purely.

Bless in body and in soul,

And make us a blessing to our comrades.

Whether, at home or abroad may we ever seek

The extension of Thy Kingdom.

Let the assurance of Thy presence

save us from sinning:

support us in life,

and comfort us in death.

O Lord our God accept this prayer

For Jesus Christ’s sake.

Amen.
