Художник В. И. Г И Н У КО В
ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ В этой книге собрано 87 рассказов в картинках. Сюжеты рассказов заим- ствованы у художников 3. Ленгрена, X. Бидструпа, В. Буша, Л. и Ю. Че- репановых и др.; многие сюжеты переработаны. К каждой серии картинок даны вопросы, отвечая на которые ученик посте- пенно пересказывает сюжет рассказа. Иногда под одним номером даётся не- сколько вопросов. Это делается в тех случаях, когда могут возникнуть затруд- нения при ответе на первый вопрос. В других случаях дополнительные во- просы помогают глубже раскрыть ситуацию или проанализировать детали. К некоторым рассказам даются вопросы, выходящие за рамки содержания данного рассказа. Они обращены непосредственно к ученику и касаются его самого. Работающие с книгой могут самостоятельно задавать подобные воп- росы к другим рассказам. Книгой рекомендуется пользоваться начиная с VI класса и далее на про- тяжении всех лет обучения английскому языку в средней школе. В книге четыре раздела, каждый из которых предназначен для одного класса — VI, VII или VIII; рассказы, помещённые в последнем разделе, пред- назначаются для учеников IX—X классов. Новые слова и выражения даются под картинками после вопросов. Работающий с книгой может по своему усмотрению использовать расска- зы,. рекомендуемые для того или иного класса на более ранней (или более поздней) стадии обучения. Основное применение книга найдёт в школьных кружках английского язы- ка, Формы работы с ней могут быть самые разнообразные. Так, например, учи- тель может задавать вопросы всему классу с тем, чтобы ученики отвечали, гля- дя только на картинки. Вопросы могут задавать сами учащиеся. Их может за- давать весь класс одному ученику или один ученик другому или всему классу. При этом в любом случае учитель должен следить, чтобы отвечающие, не видя текста вопросов, воспринимали их на слух и отвечали, глядя только на картинку. После того как все вопросы по отдельной картинке исчерпаны, учителю следует предложить кому-либо из учеников самостоятельно, без наводящих вопросов, пересказать содержание картинки. В заключение следует пере- сказать рассказ целиком. После этого можно Предложить учащимся закрыть книги и написать изложение по рассказу. 3
Может практиковаться письменный и устный пересказ с предварительной подготовкой. Письменный пересказ без предшествующих ему устных форм ра- боты, но с использованием вопросов к картинкам можно рекомендовать в ка- честве одного из видов контрольной работы. В тех случаях, когда ученик работает с книгой самостоятельно, рекомен- дуется сначала посмотреть на картинку и вспомнить названия основных пред- метов и действий, изображённых на ней. После этого следует ответить на во- просы к данной картинке, затем вслух пересказать её содержание, не глядя на вопросы, и в заключение пересказать содержание всего рассказа. Учитель по своему усмотрению может использовать эту книгу также непо- средственно на уроке. Основное назначение книги — дать увлекательный материал для развития речи учащихся.
