Annex 1

Topic of the lesson: “Proverbs and sayings.”

The greatest wealth of a people is language!

The accurate and figurative Russian language is rich in proverbs and sayings. There are tens of thousands of them! Proverbs are gold mines in our language. As if on wings, they fly from century to century, from one generation to another, and the boundless distance to which this winged wisdom directs its flight is not visible...

Proverbs and sayings are short, simple, but apt and

instructive sayings. They took shape even before literacy appeared. In proverbs, the people passed on their cherished rules of life to their children and grandchildren, taught them wisdom - reason. Ancient proverbs live on today – in conversation, in books.

Proverbs decorate our life, make it lively and witty. Using proverbs and sayings in speech, we make it figurative, colorful, and expressive.

You all know a lot of proverbs and sayings, so I have prepared a game for you in which you will remember the ones you already know idioms, and also meet new ones.

Rules of the game:

Two teams are formed to participate in the game

The team that wins the competition places its sign on the playing field, crossing out the cell with the name of the competition;

The losing team has the right to choose a new square on the playing field;

The winner of the game is the team that manages to line up three of its signs in one row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) during the game. This is the essence of a real game of tic-tac-toe;

If the teams fail to line up three of their signs in one row during the game, then all nine competitions are played and all the cells are filled playing field"0" and "x". The team with the most symbols on the playing field wins.

Painting by artist Pieter Bruegel entitled “Sayings”.

Painting by artist Pieter Bruegel (1525/30–1569) entitled “Sayings”. The name speaks for itself; the painting depicts more than two dozen different instructive sayings. Here are some of them: banging your head against the wall, leading each other by the nose, pouring pearls before swine, putting spokes in wheels, sitting between two chairs, looking through your fingers, and others. Where in the picture is depicted, look for what proverb yourself.

Outstanding teacher K.D. Ushinsky wrote: “Russian proverbs have meaning in the initial teaching native language, firstly, in its form, and secondly, in its content.” In the book " Native word", intended for students primary classes, K.D. Ushinsky included about 300 proverbs and sayings and several stories that reveal the meaning of some of them. L.H. Tolstoy also wrote several stories based on proverbs for literacy students. Exactly at primary school necessary Special attention pay attention to proverbs.

In grades I-IV, work is not limited to actively introducing students to proverbs and memorizing them. The teacher must teach children to reveal the meaning of proverbs and apply them in their speech in accordance with the speech situation.

Elementary school students can be offered to keep special notebooks or albums in which they could write down proverbs and sayings.

The main sources from which students take proverbs and sayings should be the Primer, Russian language textbooks and literary reading, as well as children's fiction and Internet resources. In addition, students can use special collections: “Russian proverbs, sayings, sayings”, “Russian proverbs and sayings”: educational dictionary, “Proverbs and sayings of the peoples of the East”, etc.

Primary school students can be recommended to write down proverbs from the words of their grandparents, parents, since such work helps strengthen family ties. IN in this case Students should let the teacher check what they have written down and only after correction should they rewrite the proverbs or sayings in the album in order to avoid spelling errors.

Some teachers draw students' attention to proverbs and sayings printed in children's books. periodicals: newspapers and magazines.

This work becomes more interesting and varied if students are asked to search not only for Russian folk proverbs and sayings, but also to include foreign catchphrases in the search. They can be combined by topic, compared, learn to find analogues in different languages. Thus, for the Russian proverb “In the absence of fish, there is cancer as well as fish”, you can find an analogue from Italian language: “Where there are no orange trees, beets will pass for an orange.”

In addition to interest in the study of proverbs itself, such work helps acquaint students with national characteristics different nations, raise children in the spirit of interethnic tolerance.

With great pleasure, the children decorate such notebooks and albums: they make frames and beautiful headings, select and draw illustrations for individual proverbs and thematic groups themselves.

Having computer skills, children can carry out such work in in electronic format.

The more diverse decoration album with proverbs and sayings, the more interesting this work is for students.

Notebooks and albums can be either individual or collective, when work is done in one album by children in turns or in groups.

Experience shows that work with proverbs should begin already in the first grade. This is best done when students have learned the alphabet, that is, mastered writing. So, introducing students to the letter n, the teacher draws their attention to the saying Take care of your nose in the deep frost and asks them to find a word with a letter whose spelling they have just learned. Students read the proverb, reveal its meaning, and find the word with the required letter. After this, the teacher invites the students to keep notebooks in which they will write down proverbs and sayings, and gives the task: by the next day, glue a postcard or picture depicting winter on the first page of this notebook. You can invite students who wish to draw them themselves how children make a snow woman and ride down the mountain.

The next day, in Russian language class, students remember the saying they had memorized the day before. The teacher asks what other proverbs and sayings about winter they know. If no one knows, then the teacher himself quotes the saying The frost is not great, but it doesn’t tell you to stand, which also contains the letter ь. Students write both sayings in their notebooks under the picture.

So the work continues. Having encountered a proverb in a reading book or in a Russian language textbook, students tell how they understand its meaning, analyze and explain the spelling of individual words. At home, the proverb is written down in a notebook, choosing the corresponding picture or making a drawing.

In modern textbooks, of course, there are proverbs and sayings, but teachers need to select proverbs themselves for Russian language lessons and literary reading. To do this, the teacher must first of all choose proverbs that would be understandable to first-graders in their content, determine in which lesson of the Russian language or reading, when studying which topic, this or that proverb can be used. When coming up with a lesson, you should logically link the proverb or saying with the lesson material.

Here’s how you can work with proverbs when mastering the topic “Unstressed vowels at the root of a word.”

Teacher N.K. Korovkina (school No. 50, Rostov-on-Don) in the Russian language lesson began repeating vowels by working on proverbs. Under the painting depicting Moscow, a poster with proverbs was hung:

Moscow is the mother of all cities.

Anyone who has not been to Moscow has never seen beauty.

In these proverbs, students found and named words that included unstressed vowels, verified by

rhenium (beauty, seen) and unverifiable spellings, i.e. dictionary words (Moscow, cities).

In first grade, proverbs can be used in reading lessons and Russian language lessons: About the Motherland:

There is nothing more beautiful than our Motherland.

One per person birth mother, he has one homeland.

About work, hard work, laziness:

Heroes are born in work.

The skill will find application everywhere.

Love your work and you will become a master.

A jack of all trades is never bored.

Order saves time.

Finished the job - go for a walk safely.

It was done hastily and was done as a joke.

About studies, books:

A scientist loves everything.

Learning is the best wealth.

Learning to read and write is always useful.

From time immemorial, a book has raised a person.

Here, for example, are some proverbs and sayings that were written down by first-grade students of school No. 49 (city. Rostov-on-Don) (teacher P.K. Danilova):

Take care of your nose in the extreme cold.

Learning is light and ignorance is darkness.

A lot of snow means a lot of bread.

When the sun is warm - when the mother is good.

There is no better friend than your own mother.

In March, the chicken will drink water under the threshold.

In April the earth crumbles.

Labor feeds, but laziness spoils.

There is nothing more beautiful than our Motherland.

Learning is the path to skill.

Work with proverbs continues in 2nd grade. Students also keep notebooks in which they write down proverbs and sayings. For example:

To live is to serve the Motherland.

Die yourself, but help your comrade.

Business before pleasure.

In a strange place, in the forest.

Every journey is more fun together.

If you don't have a friend, look for him, but if you find him, take care of him.

The brave will find where the timid will lose.

November with a nail, December with a bridge.

March with water, April with grass.

May is cold - a fertile year.

July is haymaking time.

Spring is red with flowers, autumn with bread, and winter with snow.

It is only important that the teacher himself knows proverbs and sayings well, knows how to build lexical and grammatical work with them, and skillfully uses them in his speech.

In grades III-IV, continuing to work with proverbs, you can invite students to keep so-called thematic albums. In them, proverbs are distributed according to topics that are outlined in advance by the teacher. The number of topics is determined by the teacher and the children themselves.

Work with a thematic album should begin with a conversation on a topic on which students must find and write down proverbs. During the conversation they already remember known to students proverbs. Then the topic named by the teacher is written down on the first page of the album. Students are given the task: select several proverbs on this topic. Experience shows that students easily cope with the task and collect rich and varied material, which the teacher can later use both in reading lessons and in Russian language lessons. The proverbs found by the students are read at one of the lessons. Best proverbs recorded in albums.

Then a new topic is given.

From time to time, given the content literary works, with which students become acquainted in class or at home, as well as the nature of the material being studied in the Russian language, the teacher returns to the already recorded topics and invites students to add new proverbs to the existing ones.

In fourth grade, if students do a good job of classifying proverbs into topics, they can immediately name all the expected topics. In this case, students, having found proverbs, must determine for themselves which topics they relate to in each individual case.

III class -

1) seasons;

2) natural phenomena (snow, rain, frost, wind, etc.);

3) domestic and wild animals;

4) book, letter;

6) about mother, about father.

IV class -

1) Rodina, Moscow;

2) friendship;

3) speech, word;

4) knowledge, ignorance;

5) courage, cowardice;

6) about agriculture;

7) about proverbs, sayings.

Let us give as an example the thematic album of a fourth grade student at school No. 49 (Rostov-on-Don) Lyuda M.

On the first page of the album she placed proverbs about the proverb:

The proverb is an assistant to all matters.

It is not without reason that the proverb is said.

You can't live without a proverb.

The old adage never breaks.

A stupid speech is not a proverb.

On the next page of her album there is a postcard on which Moscow is depicted and proverbs about the Motherland are written:

Do not spare your strength or your life for your Motherland.

The motherland is more valuable than your life.

On new page Album picture - students go to school. Here we find proverbs about studying and books:

A book is not beautiful in its writing, but in its mind.

An illiterate person is the same as a blind person.

A person does not go astray from learning.

Do not neglect learning from a young age.

If you didn’t get up in the morning, you lost a day; you didn’t study as a child, and you lost your life.

Proverbs:

A slob and a slob don’t even have a decent shirt.

Done hastily and made for laughs - illustrated with a postcard depicting a disheveled, unkempt dressed girl. A torn book, a tablespoon and a ball lie at her feet.

On another page of the album there is an illustration: leaning against a white-trunked birch tree, two boys are sitting on the river bank. Behind them is their faithful friend - a dog. Proverbs for this picture:

Help each other like the wings of one eagle.

A comrade is a light of the heart, a support in times of trouble, a doctor in times of illness.

The only way to have a friend is to be a friend.

A variety of proverbs about work have been selected:

Don't learn by idleness, but learn by handicraft.

Without work there is no rest.

The master's work is afraid.

Don't be quick with your words, be quick with your actions.

The craft does not ask to drink and eat, but feeds itself.

People are not born with mastery, but they are proud of the mastery they acquire.

Students really enjoy working on an album with proverbs. It not only teaches you to collect folk sayings, but also promotes their memorization. The selection of illustrative material forces students to think about the meaning of proverbs and sometimes reveal their content in their own original way. For example, fourth grade student Lyuba Yu. the meaning of the proverb Swans are called by voices, and people are united by thoughts and hands opened with two pictures - one depicts a swan that is about to fly into the sky and join a flock of swans flying south, the other shows peasants in haymaking.

Another student to the proverb A small spark can cause a big fire I picked up a postcard - an illustration for the children's fairy tale “The Cat's House Fired Up.” But in this case, it is necessary to draw the children’s attention to figurative sense this proverb.

Artistic design of albums: a selection of colorful postcards, drawings by students, various screensavers, colored frames - all this contributes to aesthetic education students. With albums containing proverbs and sayings, a varied and interesting extracurricular activities. But they are mainly used in reading and Russian language lessons.

This type of work project activities, extremely popular and in demand in modern school. And every project should have logical conclusion, including students presenting the results of their activities. This could be an exhibition of notebooks and albums, the design of stands and wall newspapers, or a performance at a school scientific and practical conference.

It is worth mentioning here that many modern children have good computer skills, know how to use Internet resources and create computer presentations. In this case, the work described above can be carried out electronically, and the result will be a presentation for classmates.

Project activities are very important for modern schoolchildren, as it allows them to show independence and their own individuality, and the variety of results will make the work even more interesting.

Children of preschool and school age familiarity with Russian proverbs will be beneficial, because these are apt, figurative expressions teach life, make you wiser.
