I. Emotional mood

Today in the lesson we turn to the work of the great storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, whose fairy tales you have been familiar with since childhood. Which Andersen fairy tales can you name? (“Thumbelina”, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier”, “The Snow Queen”, “The King’s New Clothes”, “Ole Lukoye”, “The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep”, “The Princess and the Pea”, “The Ugly Duckling”, “Wild Swans”, “The Little Mermaid”, etc.). Andersen comes to you guys in different ways. Then he quietly sneaks into the room and brings you wonderful dreams, like the good wizard Ole-Lukoje. Then the fairy tale floats along with Thumbelina on a water lily leaf. You will forever be captivated by the story of the steadfast tin soldier. But more often than not, Andersen’s fairy tale boldly bursts into the world of your childhood Snow Queen. And today a fairy tale will fly to our lesson on the wings of a small bird, a nightingale. “It was a long time ago, of course, but that’s why it’s worth listening to this story until it’s completely forgotten!” - Andersen wrote.

We have to find out why it is so important for the author that this story is not forgotten, what eternal values ​​​​Andersen talks about in the fairy tale “The Nightingale”, comparing the real and artificial nightingale. Let us be transported to the world of this amazing fairy tale.

II. Record date, topic

III. Revealing Reader Perception

Did you like the fairy tale by G.H. Andersen's "The Nightingale"? How do you understand the epigraph of today's lesson?

What particularly excited you about the fairy tale? What surprised you? What caused confusion?

IV. Analysis of a fairy tale

a) Conversation and verification of medical records.

Why is the fairy tale called “The Nightingale” and not “The Nightingales”? After all, there are two of them in the work.

What do you know about this bird?(The nightingale is a songbird from the thrush family, with gray plumage, slender build, distinguished by its unusually beautiful singing).

Let's listen to the nightingale sing (phonogram sounds). Isn't it beautiful?

- Let's see how our artists depicted the nightingale from Andersen's fairy tale. Right?

Where does the fairy tale take place?(In China).

What was the most important attraction of the country described in the fairy tale? (Castle).

Let's take a tour of the palace. Today our guests are travelers who have been to China, one of them will tell about their impressions of visiting the palace (checking the data).(“In the whole world there would not have been a better palace than the imperial one; it was all made of precious porcelain, but so fragile that it was scary to touch it...”).

What is the contrast between the imperial palace and garden in the fairy tale? (The forest where the nightingale lives). Traveler 2 will tell you about the life of a nightingale in the forest (check the homework).

Did the emperor know about the existence of the nightingale? How did he know? Find a quote(“The nightingale? But I don’t even know it! How? In my state and even in my own garden there lives such an amazing bird, and I have never heard of it! I had to read about it from books!”).

Who in the palace knew about this?(Poor girl-cook: “Lord! How can you not know the nightingale! He’s singing! ... I hear the nightingale singing every time. Tears will flow from my eyes, and my soul will become so joyful, as if my mother was kissing me!” .").

Guys, how did it happen that the whole world knew about the nightingale, they even wrote about it in books, but the emperor didn’t know? Don't you think that the nightingale and the inhabitants of the palace live in some kind of different worlds X? Let's prove this by making a table.

b) Compiling a table

(The children are offered a table that they will have to fill out using the text of the fairy tale)

Let's summarize. What is the difference the world nightingale from the world of the emperor? (Before us is a real and unreal world. In the world of the emperor, everything is invented in such a way as to live unreal and see unreal. Why did scientists describe the palace and garden, and poets wrote poems in honor of the nightingale? This is the life of the mind and heart. In the palace, everything obeyed the rules (“cleverly invented”, “done”) The singing of the nightingale is the life of the heart, it is alive, nature itself, natural and therefore beautiful. That’s why everyone said: “But the nightingale is best,” “Lord, how good!”).
(Guys fill out another line in the table)

Conclusion

Natural beauty of living nature

Artificial beauty of the palace

What is opposition called in literature? (antithesis)

Let us remember what feelings the singing of a living nightingale aroused in the emperor.

c) Expressive reading of the passage – p. 168

Guys, what is the reward for the nightingale?

(The greatest reward for a nightingale is the tears of the emperor).

Can tears be a reward? What is the meaning of this phrase?

(This is an allegory - an allegory. For an artist, the spectator’s tears can be an indicator of recognition and understanding of his work).

Andersen persistently turns to the image of tears. Tears are different; in the fairy tale “The Nightingale,” tears are a symbol of what? (Symbol of soul purification).

G) Independent work in pairs - compiling a table

One day, a large package with the inscription “Nightingale” was delivered to the emperor. So another nightingale appears in the fairy tale. It looked like a real one, so the court decided that the birds should sing a duet. But things didn't go well. The living nightingale flew away, the emperor and his courtiers began to admire the singing of the artificial bird. The author again resorts to antithesis. Let's compare a real and an artificial nightingale.

Real nightingale

Artificial nightingale

Appearance

How does he sing?

What is your impression of singing?

Who listened to singing?

What benefit did it bring?

On your tables there are cards with characteristics of birds, distribute them into columns.

Little gray bird

2) You can’t know in advance what exactly he will sing

Sang like a winded organ-grinder

Can't be forced

3) His singing was enough to touch the heart, and tears appeared in his eyes

4) The fisherman listened to him, forgetting about his worries

5) 25 volumes of the most sophisticated Chinese words were written about him

Saved the Emperor from death

Guys, now let's compare who is more beautiful? Who sings better? Who evokes real feelings in people with their singing? So what is the difference between a live nightingale and an artificial one?

(Guys write the conclusion)

d) Physical exercise

g) Conclusions from the table

Remember in which fairy tale and which author we already came to a similar conclusion? (A.S. Pushkin “The Tale of dead princess and about the seven heroes").

Remember the epigraph. What proverb would you add? (All that glitters is not gold).

This means that Andersen, using antithesis, thinks about the eternal, about the problem of true and false, about the relationship to the genuine and the artificial.

Natural and contrived. Can we talk about friendship? Prove it.

Why was the artificial nightingale given great honor? Why did the entire city know every note of his song by heart? (It was artificial singing. There was no life in it, which means there was no variety. It was not difficult to repeat).

Why did you like this singing?(“They themselves could now sing along with the bird”).

h) Closing conversation

But the fairy tale doesn't end there. It was also important for the author to show the emperor’s illness. Why do you think? (Show what true art is capable of, because the mechanical nightingale broke down and the emperor fell ill. And the living nightingale saved him from death with his song).

Could an artificial nightingale do this? (No, because only the real singing of a living nightingale can defeat death and even those evil forces that live in the human soul. Real art makes a person better, purer, more beautiful).

Why did the nightingale return?

How has the emperor changed? (He allowed the nightingale to live in the forest, allowed him to fly in and sing songs only when the nightingale himself wanted it).

How do you understand the ending of the fairy tale? What meaning did the author put into the emperor’s words “Hello! WITH Good morning!»? ( Last words fairy tales are a return to the world of authentic human feelings and relationships).

V. Results - a cliché essay

So the fairy tale ends. The nightingale saved the emperor from death, promised to fly to him and tell him about that real living life that cannot be seen from the walls of the palace and which no flowers with crystal bells can replace. To summarize, let's think again about why Andersen asked us not to forget this fairy tale?

(The fairy tale by H.H. Andersen “The Nightingale” is very interesting and instructive . Through opposition live nightingale and artificial beauty human wildlife, a kind soul, selfless help and empathy are more important than external beauty. Only the present is immortal,genuine, natural).

  1. Organizational stage.
  2. Motivational stage.

Teacher's opening speech.

Today in class we will talk about the interesting and difficult tale of the great storyteller Hans Christian Andersen “The Nightingale”. During the lesson, we will try to understand the meaning of this fairy tale, what it can teach us.

– Did you like this fairy tale?

– What do you think she’s talking about?

(Students cannot yet answer the question accurately, so it is necessary to return to it at the end of the discussion)

III. Analysis of the fairy tale "The Nightingale".The main technique used in the lesson is “reading with stops”: repeated slow movement through the text, accompanied by problem-solving conversation and commenting on individual details.

1. Read the description of the palace of the Chinese emperor. Do you think it is convenient, is it good to live in a palace made of the most precious porcelain, so fragile “that it was scary to touch it”?

– Why were bells tied to the “most wonderful flowers” ​​in the emperor’s garden?

(To once again admire the beauty of flowers, the clink of silver, the shine of porcelain, in a word, the external splendor and splendor of the imperial house)

– Why didn’t the emperor know anything about the nightingale? Why didn’t the courtiers hear anything about him?

2. Read carefully the fragment in which the author talks about the place where the nightingale lived.

Why does he live “in the dense forest that begins behind the garden”?

Don't you think that the nightingale and the inhabitants of the palace live in some different worlds? Describe these worlds: what does the nightingale hear and see every day, and what do the courtiers and the emperor see?

What's funny about the scene of the courtiers searching for the nightingale? Don't you feel a little sorry for them?

4.What is the first minister trying to compare the nightingale’s singing to? Why is his comparison ridiculous?

5. Why did the nightingale still agree to fly to the emperor’s palace, despite the fact that his songs “are much better to listen to in the green forest”?

6. How did the emperor perceive the nightingale’s singing? Re-read this scene.

Why did the nightingale refuse the reward - the golden slipper around her neck? Find the answer in the text of the fairy tale.

7. Find in the text the answer to the question: how did the courtiers try to imitate the nightingale? What, in your opinion, is the absurdity of the nightingale's fame in the city?

Tell us about what happened during the competition between two nightingales. Where did the real nightingale go?

8. Find in the text the answer to the question: what does the “court supplier of nightingales” see as the advantages of an artificial nightingale? Why does the writer depict it in such detail, and why is the portrait of a natural nightingale so short?

9. Read what the poor fishermen said about the artificial nightingale. Why did the courtiers particularly like the artificial nightingale?

10. Retell the episode “The Emperor’s Illness” (work with an illustration by the artist E. Narbut).

Why was the emperor left alone during his illness? Why was the emperor so scared?

(It was not death that was terrible, but life, revealed on the day of judgment as a scroll of good and evil deeds)

How did the nightingale manage to save the emperor? What was the nightingale singing about? What does he ask the emperor to do, what does he promise him?

(The cemetery in the nightingale’s song evokes not fear, but a feeling of humility; it is full of beauty - special, but not cold, like the imperial palace. Salvation is that the nightingale awakened “good feelings” both in death and in the emperor, who had good business, because he cried when he first listened to the nightingale)

11. What does the nightingale sing about and will always sing about? Re-read this fragment.

IV. How would you now answer what this fairy tale is about?

(Students conclude that the world of the nightingale (nature) and the world imperial palace– two completely different worlds. “Mechanism” (the creation of human hands) is contrasted in Andersen’s fairy tale with nature, its living voice - the voice of the nightingale. The voice of nature would never have reached the palace (another world) if not for the nightingale and his songs.

Which heroes of Andersen's fairy tale can we attribute to the world of nature and the world of the palace? Let's name them.

V. Conclusions. The nightingale sang and will sing to the emperor about that real, living life, which cannot be seen from the walls of the palace and which no flowers with crystal bells and magnificent gardens can replace.

The nightingale is an image of a free singer, an allegorical image of art that speaks in the language of nature itself about everything in the world; only it is capable of defeating death and even those evil forces that live in the soul of man himself; art makes a person better, cleaner, more beautiful.

Justification and grading.

VI. Homework.

Compose a letter from the Chinese emperor to the Japanese after recovery or a letter to Andersen about a fairy tale you read (optional).

Review of the fairy tale "The Nightingale"
I really like this fairy tale. It tells of the triumph of a real nightingale, whose singing was always different, over a mechanical toy that could sing only one melody and which could break. The Emperor of China realized his mistake, he could experience sincere feelings, and therefore the nightingale forgave him and helped him when he fell ill. This is a very beautiful fairy tale.

The nightingale is small, but the voice is great.

Summary, brief retelling fairy tales "The Nightingale"
In distant China, near the imperial palace there was a wonderful garden in which magical bells grew. The garden was very large and even the gardener did not know where its end was. And behind the garden in the forest lived a nightingale. And all the foreigners who came to the garden were amazed at the beauty of the nightingale’s voice.
They returned home and wrote books about China, in which they said that the best thing there is the nightingale.
One day the emperor read a book and was surprised, because he had never heard of a nightingale. He ordered the minister to bring him a nightingale so that he could listen to its singing.
The minister and courtiers ran around the entire palace, but no one heard about the nightingale. And only the little girl in the kitchen said that she knew where the nightingale lived.
She led the courtiers into the forest, and they mistook the mooing of cows and the croaking of frogs for nightingale singing. But then they heard the nightingale singing and were amazed. They invited the nightingale to the palace to sing to the emperor, and the nightingale agreed.
He sang to the emperor and he was amazed, he even cried, and the nightingale said that these tears were the best reward for him.
The nightingale began to live in the palace and the courtiers made sure that he did not fly away. And all the people fell in love with the nightingale.
But one day an artificial nightingale was brought from Japan that sang only one song. The real nightingale flew away, but no one was saddened by this. Everyone in the palace fell in love with the artificial nightingale.
But soon the artificial nightingale broke. The watchmaker repaired it, but now the nightingale was allowed to be wound only once a year.
5 years passed and the emperor fell ill. Everyone thought he was dead, but he just lay cold and sick on his bed.
The emperor saw death and his deeds - evil and good. He begged the artificial nightingale to sing to him, but he had to be wound up. And then a real nightingale flew in. He sang his song and death retreated. The nightingale promised that he would fly to the emperor and sing his songs to him, because he saw tears in the emperor’s eyes.
And the emperor recovered and greeted the stunned courtiers.

Drawings and illustrations for the fairy tale "The Nightingale"

The main characters of the fairy tale “The Nightingale” are the Chinese emperor and the forest nightingale. The emperor lived in an extraordinary porcelain palace surrounded by a wonderful garden. And in the forest, which was located between the imperial garden and the sea, there lived a nightingale. The nightingale delighted everyone who appeared in this forest with his songs.

Numerous travelers who came to admire the beauty of the imperial palace often listened to the songs of the forest nightingale. Later travelers described their impressions of China in books. One of these books reached the Chinese emperor, and he was surprised that he knew nothing about the wonderful nightingale living nearby.

By order of the emperor, the nightingale was invited to the palace, and the small, inconspicuous bird sang its songs for him. When the emperor listened to the nightingale, there were tears in his eyes. These tears were the best reward for the nightingale.

At the insistence of the emperor, the nightingale remained to live in the palace and often delighted its inhabitants with its songs. But life in the palace was not to the liking of the forest bird. Silk ribbons were tied to the nightingale's feet and held by several servants. The nightingale's freedom was limited, and he could not like it.

One day, the Chinese emperor was sent a gift from Japan - a mechanical nightingale. He sang almost as beautifully as a real nightingale, but at the same time he himself was decorated with precious stones. The emperor and the courtiers really liked the gift, and they enthusiastically began to listen to the mechanical nightingale sing and admire it. appearance. And the forest nightingale, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, left the palace and returned to his forest. When the emperor found out about this, he ordered the nightingale to be expelled from his state.

The mechanical nightingale delighted the inhabitants of the imperial palace with its singing, but one day it broke down. And although the master managed to repair the mechanism, it was possible to listen to the song of an artificial nightingale only once a year.

One day the emperor became seriously ill. All the courtiers already believed that he would soon die and stopped visiting him. The emperor wanted to listen to the song of the mechanical nightingale so that it would give him strength, but there was no one to get the toy. At some point, the emperor saw that Death itself had visited him. And then he heard wonderful singing outside the window. It was the forest nightingale that flew in. He learned that the emperor was ill and decided to visit him and support him with his singing. The nightingale sang so wonderfully that the blood ran faster through the emperor’s veins, and Death, enchanted by the nightingale’s singing, walked away.

The grateful emperor was ready to give the nightingale anything for his recovery, but the nightingale refused the gifts. The best reward for him was the tears of the emperor on the day when he first heard the song of the nightingale. The nightingale told the emperor that he wanted to live in freedom and sing for all people. He promised that he would fly to the palace, sing for the emperor and tell him about how people live outside the imperial palace.

And when the courtiers came to see if the emperor had died, they saw that he was alive and well.

That's how it is summary fairy tales.

The main idea of ​​the fairy tale “The Nightingale” is that no technical wonders can replace living nature and living singing.

Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale teaches us to value freedom, which is so necessary for creative and gifted people. The Nightingale understood that freedom was necessary for his singing gift, and he refused to live in the emperor's palace, in this huge golden cage.

I liked the nightingale in the fairy tale. He has a unique singing gift, which he generously shares with the outside world; he is not vindictive. The Nightingale makes no distinction between the inhabitants of the imperial palace and ordinary residents of Chinese villages. He sings for everyone, and his wonderful songs can even drive away death.
