Today we are going on an exciting sea voyage. And what kind of transport can we get there? (Children's assumptions)

I suggest you set off on this beautiful sailing ship (slide).

But in order to get on this ship and check whether you are ready for the journey, you need to go through a small test.checks d / z:

Let's remember:

With childhood, what writer did we meet in the last lesson? (portrait - presentation)

Where was Leo Tolstoy born and spent his childhood?

What does Leo Tolstoy remember about his mother?(read out)

How many children were there in the Tolstov family?(5 children)

Who was the ringleader in the children's games?(Nikolay)

What else have you learned about him?

What was the secret that he announced

the younger Nikolay?(read)

What can you say about the green stick?

How did the children feel about all these secrets?

(believed, trembled, with importance)

Outcome: Having become an adult, Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy did not stop believing that there is truth, and it will be open to people, and people will be happy, there will be no evil. And all his life Tolstoy brought good to people.

This game will be remembered by the future writer for the rest of his life. At his request, he was buried in the corner of the park where he was looking for a "green stick" as a child.

(photo show - presentation)

So in Yasnaya Polyana, he set up a school for poor peasant children. I myself wrote the ABC and other books for them. These books contained many stories, fables, fairy tales. You have already met many of his works.

Remember them. What books have you already read?(book exhibition - presentation)

(Children remember: "Old grandfather and granddaughter", "Father and sons", "Learned son", "How the boy told about how a thunderstorm caught him in the forest", "Kitten", "Filippok".)

-Fine… You have coped with the first test and I invite you to board the ship.

Look ... the captain greets you aboard the ship. You get the logbooks from him (they are on the tables). Let's see what discoveries we have to make today….

Logbook

- to get acquainted with the new work of Leo Tolstoy and its literary heroes;
- learn to analyze their actions;
- to learn to understand the motives of their behavior, to assess them.
Be careful that the course is correct, and we do not go astray, the whole team must work in a friendly and clear manner along the entire route.

So, on the way ... whistle ... slide we are sailing around the sea, there are many sea inhabitants around ... What kind?

(children's answers)

What do you know about sharks? (Nastya's message)

- The shark is a terrible predator of the sea. This word with hatred is pronounced by sailors and fishermen . O very ancient fish . They swim very fast. Sharks differ from each other in size and appearance. But not all sharks are predators.The skin of many sharks is covered with scales with sharp spines. Therefore, even a light touch of a shark causes serious wounds. Sometimes sharks can attack people. Shark attacks people most often when the sea water is warm, over 18 0 .

What's new about sharks?

I really love the works of Leo Tolstoy, I think you too. But most of all I remember one of his stories, with which I want to introduce you today. It is called "Shark"

And look, we are approaching the shores of the mainland, which is called

Africa (slide)

Teacher: - The voyage on the ships was long, for several months, various entertainments were invented on the ship, sometimes their inhabitants found themselves in the most incredible situations. What came of this, we today will learn from the story of one old artilleryman. But in order to understand his story, we must learn the meanings of some words that we do not quite understand….

Let's find out their meaning.

Find the correct interpretation of the dictionary word by choosing the answer from the two suggested.

Slide

artilleryman -a) soldier

b) athlete

canvas -c) low lighting

d) linen fabric

wick -e) a combustible cord for the gun

f) tropical plant

murmur -g) quiet displeased speech

h) classical music

trunk -i) elongated nose

j) the rear of the gun (for this word it is important to say that both interpretations are correct, but only the first word "gunner" will prompt the choice)

Well, now sit back and imagine that there is an open sea in front of you, you are sailing in a beautiful sailing ship and listen to an incredible story told to you by an old gunner ...

(listening to the gunner's story)

I see the piece excited you. What are the most exciting moments? Let's immediately turn to the text, read these moments and circle the words that the author used to enhance our feelings.

Page 37 1st paragraph - shark, monster

2nd paragraph - pale, not moving

3rd paragraph - shrill screech

4th paragraph - fell through, froze with fear, closed

face with hands

Who was the first to take action? Find it, read it.

His son was there …………………………………………… ..

What made the gunner rush to help?

Father's feelings

Let's discuss the story we heard ...

How did the little boys end up on the ship?

Children's answers

Men were brought up from a young age to endurance and courage. This is evidenced in the story. How did they swim? Read it.

+ (text)

What important masculine quality does the author touch upon in the work?

Courage

The theme of courage, courage, endurance is close to Lev Nikolaevich, tk. he himself served in the army and took part in the Crimean War, commanding a battery in besieged Sevastopol, and differed from others in precisely these qualities.

And even before the army, as a little boy, he was fond of various sciences: history, music, geography, drawing, medicine. Throughout his life, he replenished his knowledge. The name of this writer is known all over the world. So now you know something about him and you can guess from the portrait.

Let's analyze this work by answering questions about the content of the text.

What trouble happened to the boys?(they were almost eaten by a terrible predator - a shark)

Find and read how the boys ended up on the high seas.

How did the old gunner react to the amusements of his son and his comrade?(The boy's father, an old artilleryman, stood on the deck and admired his son. When the son began to lag behind, the father shouted to him: "Don't give it out! Push up!"

What do these words mean?(Do not give in, try to win, overtake).

Did he imagine what kind of trouble could happen to his son?(children's answers)

When did your father get overwhelmed by fear?(When they shouted "Shark" on the deck)

Why did he turn pale and did not move? (very scared for a loved one)

Read what the sailors were doing at that moment.

Can we say that the act of the sailors was brave?

Why didn't they succeed? (They were already close to the goal, but there was little time left)

Guys, why, when the sailors were trying to save the boys, the old gunner stood without doing anything? (He was bound by fear for his children, for his son).

Indeed, when a person is very scared, in the first seconds falls into a daze, cannot do anything, especially when it concerns the closest and dearest person.

When did he start to act? Read this episode.

Why is everyone frozen in fear? (Everyone was scared, because he could hit the boys.)

How did the gunner behave after the shot? (He fell beside the cannon and covered his face with his hands.)

Why did he act like that? (He was scared to see what was there after his shot.)

Let's characterize the boys' father, what is he like? (He is a very strong-willed person, courageous, resourceful, decisive, experienced.)

Why - experienced? (because, despite his fear, he aimed correctly and quickly)

What about boys? (They acted carelessly, irresponsibly.)

What's the idea behind this story? (In a moment of danger, courage and decisiveness saves. When children are in the balance of death, fatherly feelings always help to act decisively, not to lose self-control. Native people will always come to the rescue. )

What have we learned from the story described in the story? (Never get lost in various situations, try to find the right quick solution, cherish loved ones , think before doing something, take.)

Who is the real protagonist of the story? (Old artilleryman)

Why, then, is the story called "Shark"? (The shark is the reason for the situation in which the artilleryman behaved decisively, heroically.)

How else can this story be called? ("Father's Deed", "Love's Deed".)

5 slide

Examination homework... Before moving on to the study of a new topic, let's recall some facts from the biography of L.N. Tolstoy.

6 slide

To do this, let us return to the story "Childhood" by Leo Tolstoy. Please answer the following questions: In what family did L.N. Tolstoy? How did the "Ant Brothers" appear? Read what was the secret? How does this characterize the brothers? What do you think, with what feeling did the author write this work?

7 slide

Now I will tell you about such a wonderful continent as Africa. Listen carefully. Africa, the second largest continent after Eurasia. Its area is 29.2 million square kilometers. The longest river in the world, the Nile, flows through Africa. Africa has the largest desert - the Sahara. Africa is a warm continent, the temperature there in the summer is +20 - 25 degrees, and in winter, high positive temperatures also prevail (10 - 16 degrees). In Africa, there are elephants, rhinos, zebras, hippos, many birds, including ostriches, flamingos. Fish like sharks live in the seas of Africa. These are giant predatory fish. They have an amazing sense of smell, which they use to get food, and they also have many rows of sharp, curved teeth.

8 slide

9 slide

Guys, we talked about such a continent as Africa. Now let's see how Tolstoy describes Africa in his story "Shark" Dictionary work. To better understand the story, let's get acquainted with new words, learn how to use them in speech. For this we will carry out vocabulary work.

10 slide

Deck - horizontal overlap in the ship's hull. Anchor - a metal rod with legs attached to a chain and lowered to the bottom to hold the boat in place. The trunk is the rear part of the cannon resting on the ground.

11 slide

The wick is a combustible cord for igniting charges. An artilleryman is a soldier with a firearm.

12 slide

Now I'll read the story, listen to me carefully and tell me at what point in the story did you worry about the boys the most?

13 slide

So at what point were you all worried about the boys? When did you spot the shark from the deck? When did the boys try to swim away from the shark? When did the gunner fire?

14 slide

Let's practice reading the difficult words from the story so that you don't make mistakes when reading on your own. 1. Beautiful - beautiful - beautiful. Melted - warmed - baked. Heard - Heard - Heard. 2.Both sunset keep up with the race

15 slide

16 slide

So, we read part 1: Who is the hero of this story? Why did the heroes of the story decide to swim before sunset? How do you think the author relates to the fact that the boys began to swim in the open sea? In order to answer this question, re-read paragraph 3. He writes, “what did you think”, what does that mean? Why didn’t decide, didn’t become, but it was in their head. So the boys began to swim in the open sea, the old gunner looked at them. What do you think: how did he treat his son? Prove with text. Do you think that in this part Tolstoy somehow shows that something portends trouble? Reread 1 paragraph. What author's words foreshadowed this moment? We read the second part: How does the author convey surprise, suddenness, the appearance of a shark? What does Tolstoy call a shark? Why?

17 slide

So, the shark swam straight for the boys. What actions did people take to save the boys? How effective was this solution? What feelings does the gunner feel at this moment? How did the boys feel when they saw the shark? How does the author convey this? As you understand, “the screeching woke up the artilleryman, why does the author use this particular expression? What did the author want to convey with the words "got off the ground?" And what did everyone else do at that time? How does the author talk about their inaction?

18 slide

What did the author want to show with these words? What conclusion can be drawn from this? How does this characterize an artilleryman? Why can we say that the gunner is resourceful? We read the fourth part: Why did the artilleryman fall near the cannon and covered his face with his hands? Did it immediately become clear whether the gunner had helped the boys? Analysis of the illustration. Now we will learn how to analyze the illustration to the text and highlight in it what the artist brought his own. Take a close look at the illustration on page 129 What episode in the story do you think the artist drew this illustration for? Why did you decide so?


The little birds are chilled, Hungry, tired, And huddle tightly. And the blizzard with a furious roar Knocks on the hanging shutters And gets angry more and more.

Our ship was anchored off the coast of Africa. It was a lovely day.
