	History of Halloween. Write 2 dates: 31^st of October and 1^st of November. Stick 2 pictures on the board – hollies and creatures. Draw a vertical line between pictures. This holiday started in Ireland.Halloweenwas originally a festival of the dead. It is celebrated on the 31^st of October. Halloween meansAll Hallows Eve.You know,the 1^st of November is All Hallows Day (День всех святых).People thought that the evening (eve) before is the time when the veil between the living and the dead is lifted and witches, ghosts and other creatures are about. So this holiday is associated with death and supernatural. It is very popular with children and teenagers especially in America. It is the only time in autumn before the cold days begin when it is still warm enough to go outside and enjoy the beauty of autumn. On that day children wear unusual fancy costumes and masks. They dress up as witches, ghosts, ghouls, bats, evil spirits, skeletons and frighten people. They say “Trick or Treat”. If they get a treat, they go away. But if they don’t, they play tricks. The main attribute of Halloween is Jack-O`Lantern (Фонарь Джека) or hollowed-out pumpkin. It is cut up to look like a frightening face and a candle is placed inside.	· 2 pictures: hollies and creatures	10 min.
