Творчество как положительная мотивация на уроках английского языка в младших классах

Для того, чтобы выполнить творческое задание, ученик должен не только хорошо знать программный материал, но, и это главное, – уметь делать выводы на основе сравнений, обобщений, выявлять закономерности, уметь фантазировать.

Чтобы сделать урок интересным мы предложили своим ученикам логические задачи, построенные в виде «загадочных» ситуаций.

В их основе лежат факты и события повседневно

й жизни, на первый взгляд вполне правдоподобные, но содержащие элемент необычности, недосказанности. Разгадка этих ситуаций требует нестандартного подхода, оригинальных решений.

Процесс творческого мышления захватывает учащихся, превращается в увлекательную игру, а желание высказать свою версию создает естественную речевую ситуацию.

1. Can you believe in the legend? A teacher tells his students a legend: “Long ago there was a man who swam across the wide river three times every morning”. One of the pupils says that he can’t believe it. Why? Give your opinions. Key: Actually, the man could swim across the river two or four times in order to take his clothes which he had left on the bank of the river.

2. What will be the score? “This young man is going to foretell the score of any football match before it starts”. What is the secret of his prophecy? Key: You can do such predictions too. The score of any match before it begins is 0-0.

3. How could it happen? Ann tells: “Yesterday my Grandpa went for a walk. He was far from home when a heavy rain began. The grandfather had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella. He didn’t have a hat too. In an hour he came back. None of his hair was wet.” How could it happen? Key: The grandfather is bold-headed.

4. How did she guess? A woman caught a taxi, told the driver her address, sat into the car and began to chat. She was talking her head off. The driver thought she’d never stop talking. Soon he lost his temper. He said: “Excuse me, madam. You needn’t talk to me. I’m deaf and today I’ve forgotten my otophone at home.” The driver was happy when the woman fell silent. When she left the taxi near her house and the car went away, the woman suddenly understood that the driver hadn’t been deaf. How did she guess that the drive had told lies? Key: If the driver was deaf, he couldn’t hear the address the woman had told him.
