Методическая разработка "Экскурсии по городу

Санкт-Петербург"

Во время изучения темы «Моя страна. Мой город» на уроках в 7-8 классах я даю учащимся задание – найти и описать интересный для них культурно-исторический объект нашего микрорайона. Выбор объекта ребята делают сами. Оказалось, их может заинтересовать старинный особняк и современное здание (ФТШ), известный ученый, работающий в соседнем исследовательском институте и человек, чьим именем названа близлежащая улица, история пруда или парка с блокадным аэродромом. Учащиеся сами подбирают материал в интернете, по книгам, по рассказам старожилов и переводят его на английский язык. Я проверяю и корректирую текст, на правильность не только использования английского языка, но и фактических деталей. Когда у всех учащихся текст готов, мы выходим на пешеходную экскурсию по заинтересовавшим ребят местам. Каждый автор представляет свой объект остальным учащимся. Производим фотосъемку. Так появилась серия экскурсий "Прогулки в Лесном".

Начали мы с нашего школьного музея "Быт горожан в 19-20 веках". Его создала учитель истории Ольга Юрьевна Лукьянова. Учащиеся и их родители постоянно пополняют коллекцию. Потом нас заинтересовал наш микрорайон, известный ранее как Лесное, затем объекты в Выборгском и Калининском районах и постепенно мы добрались и до центра нашего прекрасного города Санкт-Петербург.

При подготовке экскурсий на английском языке решаются учебные задачи, такие как развитие навыков монологической речи, перевода, создание презентаций и воспитательные задачи: умение выступать публично, работать в коллективе, развитие интереса и любви к своему краю.

Introduction

 It’s interesting to live on the Earth. There are a lot of  unknown things – the sky and unexplored stars, nature with its magnificent oceans and volcanoes, the world of living beings, different cities so wonderful in their variety. We have found it exciting to get acquainted with what is around us. Our first research work was carried out in our school museums. As the result of it we have prepared the material for the excursions to our school museums. We are surprised to find out that there are so many interesting things just close to our school in our Vyborgskiy district - that is why we have decided to continue and extend our investigation. We do it in English language not only because we study in a specialized English school and want to improve our English but also because we eager to share our love to Saint Petersburg and Viborgskiy district with all the guests from other countries.

The aim of this research work is:

-To learn more about the history and modern life of our Vyborgskiy district.

-To learn more about famous people who live and work or lived and worked nearby.

-To improve our knowledge of English to be able to share this information with everyone in the world.

SCHOOL  534

One of the most important buildings in our Vyborgskiy district is our school. It is called ‘The Apple Garden School’. It means that the school is the apple tree and we are all its apples. The Pupil is the most important person in our school. The teachers are friendly and polite.

Our school is named in the honor of  the Hero of Russia Timur Sirazetdinov because he studied here. He became the military officer and served in a commando ‘Taifun’.  Timur  was entitled the Hero of Russia in 2000 for the heroic deed in Northen Caucasia.

JOREZ    ALFYOROV

An outstanding scientist – physicist Jorez Alfyorov lives in our city, in our Viborgskiy district. He is the Nobel Prize Laureate, the academician of Russian Academy of Science (RAS) and the director of the Scientific Research Physical Technical Institute.

Alfyorov was born in Belorussian city of Vitebsk. He graduated from school with a gold medal and according to his teacher’s advice he went to Leningrad Electrical Technical Institute “LETI”. As a third-year student he started the experimental work with semiconductors and it has become his life-work.

Since he finished LETI Alfyorov has worked in Physical Technical Institute. There he got his first government reward and defended a doctoral thesis. He worked out his own theme – ideal heterojunction. This theme was considered unpromising but Alfyorov succeeded and became the Nobel Laureate.

Jorez Alfyorov thinks about the future of Russian science so he founded the Physical Mathematical School for talented children where they get very deep knowledge not only in physics, mathematics and computers but in humanitarian subjects, too. The school is perfectly equipped and the students have very interesting life.

So, in my opinion, Jorez Alfyorov is a real patriot of our country.

BERTLING’S  COUNTRY  HOUSE

Until 1930 the primary school had been located in this building. There were two first and two second forms in it.

In 1940 it became the house for the Central District Library. It was open during the blockade. People could not only borrow a book from the library, but they could simply get warm there. People called the library ‘the light in the forest’.

SILVER  POND

A lot of students of our school played and still play in a small cozy park round Silver pond not far from our school.

70 years ago Silver pond was in the suburb of Saint Petersburg. It was called ‘silver’ because its bottom was covered with silver tiles. There was a summer theatre in the place where we can see a children’s playground now. At the weekends the performances were held there. On the shore of the Silver pond there was a restaurant where people could have dinner, listen to pleasant music and dance.

SOSNOVKA

Long time ago Sosnovka was a large forest near Saint-Petersburg. The trees were huge and thick. As time goes by the city surrounded the forest and it has

become smaller and turned into modern Sosnovka – a regular park. Nevertheless we can still find wild swampy places in the heart of the park.

At the beginning of the 20th century a famous scientist – botanist had an estate in Sosnovka. Amazing southern plants grew in his greenhouses. He gathered rich harvests of fruit and vegetables on his lands. Nowadays his house is cut off from Sosnovka and nobody remembers it.

A lot of famous people liked to walk in Sosnovka. They say, young Alexander Block came from Malaya Nevka and had long walks in Sosnovka.

During World War II a military airport was located here. Now there is a memorial to the pilots in Sosnovka.

Everyone in our district likes this park and comes here to walk, ski, play badminton walk the dog or ride a bike.

Conclusion

In conclusion we would like to say that we love Saint Petersburg, our Vyborgskiy district and our school. We have found out that there are so many extraordinary people, places and buildings in a small area just near our school that we will be happy to continue our research work and enlarge the territory of investigation.

Each of us is glad to have the opportunity to choose the way in the life he or she likes the best and to follow this way getting acquainted with new wonders of the world.
