Автор:

Олифиров В.Г., Юрченко К.А.

Работа представляет собой изучение основных энциклопедических и литературных источников информации об известных поэтах и писателях Великобритании, их творческих успехах и местах проживания или деятельности.Учащиеся систематизировали полученную информацию и представили ее в виде интерактивного плаката-глога.

Тематика проекта является актуальной для восьмиклассников, так как 2016 год является годом английской литературы и языка в России.

В своей работе авторы освоили навыки работы в Интернет-сервисе http://edu.glogster.com. Данная программа представляет широкие образовательные и презентационные возможности для обучения. Отличительной особенностью работы является ее новизна, так как имеется довольно мало систематизированной и наглядно представленной информации о литературном мире Великобритании.

Проект краткосрочный (месяц), групповой (парный), метапредметный, практико-ориентированный.

Результатом работы является:

Интерактивный плакат для работы на уроках английского языка по данной теме;
Сводная таблица данных о великих писателях и поэтах Британии.

В результате работы над проектом ученикам пригодилось умение видеть точку зрения другого, идти на компромисс. Данная работа дала возможность проявить ее участникам свои сильные стороны и в тоже время, способствовала формированию навыков сотрудничества.

Introduction. Sources of information in the education

The world of information is very rich. We can use television, radio, the Internet or read press anytime and anywhere we want. Some of these sources of information are old, others are new. Teachers present new information on the lessons thanks to the different sources of information.

Nowadays the place of books is not so important and popular like the Internet. It is more comfortable and available for everybody. But the information from it may be not true. That’s why we decided to start our talk about old means of communication, about books and it was interesting for us to combine literature and the Internet in one thing.

We have read some parts from the books by Oscar Wild on the English lessons but there is not so much time to get to know with the literary treasure of other writers. But how can we present our work? That’s why…

Object for investigation- Writers and poets of Great Britain.

Subject for investigation- the Internet Service Glocster.ru

The aim of our paper work- making a glog devoted the famous poets and writers of Britain in English.

Hypothesis-if we could create a glog devoted the famous poets and writers of Britain in English.

The theme of our paper work is devoted to the UK and Russia’s year of language and literature, 2016.

The main part. Poets and writers of the United Kingdom

For many years we have been listened and studied some information about Britain, its geographical position, sights, culture and famous British writers and poets on the English lessons. The names of Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde are well known not only for adults but for the children, too. But the world of the British literature is much richer.

Some cities on the map of Britain are associated with the names of well-known writers. They are famous like their birth places or places where the writer lived or worked.

We have found some information about famous British writers and presented it in this table.

Each of these famous writers and poets are well known and associated with Britain. There was a question: how to present our work?

We investigated different Internet services for education, got some information about them and presented our work with the most possible ones. We have chosen the Internet Service http://edu.glogster.com because it is easy, comfortable for using and education.

Internet-service Glogster.ru. What kind of program is it?

Teachers use different sources of information when they are preparing for the lessons. Some of them are easy for using, others are new. We often do projects and try to use different programs to present our collective work. One of the new opportunities to present projects is the Internet Service Glocster.ru

Glog is an interactive poster for work or presentation of the projects. There are ready interactive posters but they may be not comfortable and cost too much. It was interesting for us if we could do such poster by ourselves? We wanted that this poster be informative, useful for the English lessons and suitable for the teacher and her pupils.

Glog (words combination from the words graphical and blog) is a multi-media blog page or multimedia poster, where we can see texts, photos, videos, sound tracks, graphic, reference and other.

Interactive poster is a mean of providing information. It must provide the interaction with user through the use of different interactive elements: references, buttons of transition, region text or numeric input and etc.

People who used Glog called “glogger”.

GLOGSTER is Internet-service that allows you to create online posters that is Glog. Service is a very easy master although it is in English-language.

Opportunities for education.

Glog is an unusual powerful means of demonstration. The teacher can suggest his/her students different texts, pictures, video, audio, references to the other information sources on the lesson at the same time.

It could help the student to find, choose, and systemize the information. With its help the people can communicate, give comments and discuss anything.

It may be the source of information and self-presentation at the same time.

It may be a proof of any opinion, homework, class paper or portfolio of the pupil.

The lessons with such posters make the teacher’s work and pupil’s study easy. They are interesting and bright.

But this program is in English and the free versions of its using are limited.

Conclusion. We may be proud of the people of our district.

The world of literary treasure of Britain is as rich as Russian one. There are a lot of famous writers and poets and their contribution to the literature of Britain is great.

At the same time we prepared the interactive poster for the school English lessons devoted to this topic. We have learnt a lot about the literary Britain, famous writers and their creative work. But it was rather difficult for us to study new computer opportunities. In spite of this fact we systemized the information about famous British writers and poets in the table and presented it with our new glog-poster. (Appendix 1)
