Slide 7

Mikhail Ivanovich Prishvin wrote: “By the nature of his talent, Nikolai Ivanovich was an observer, a“ photographer ”. And his stories often resemble instant shots, but not frozen, but vivid, voluminous, filled with smells and sounds. If you wish, you can enter them, calmly look around and ... see what once amazed the author, and now surprises, delights and amazes all of us.

Open your textbooks to the page ... Read the name of the author and the title of the work.

8. Generalization of knowledge.

Nikolai Ivanovich Sladkov has very good words: "The forest is not a school, but teaches!"

  • You can very easily draw in your imagination a picture of a rainy May day, if you read the verse "Spring Thunderstorm" by Tyutchev Fyodor Ivanovich. The poet wrote this work in 1828, when he was in Germany, and then, in 1854, corrected it. The main attention in the poem is paid to an ordinary natural phenomenon - a thunderstorm, but the author managed to reproduce all its details so accurately and expressively that until now this poem is admired by readers.

    Spring was the poet's favorite season. She symbolized for him the beginning of a new life, the awakening of nature. Comparing each season with a period of human life, Tyutchev perceived spring as youth. He describes natural phenomena using human traits. Tyutchev's thunder frolics and plays like a child, he calls his peals young, and a thundercloud laughs, spilling water on the ground. Spring Thunder is like a young man who takes his first steps in an adult independent life. He is also cheerful and carefree, and his life flies like a stormy stream, without knowing obstacles. Despite the cheerful mood, there is a slight sadness in the poem. The poet seems to regret those times when he himself was young and carefree.

    The last quatrain of the poem draws the reader to ancient Greek mythology. The poet draws an invisible line connecting the usual phenomenon of nature with the divine principle. From the point of view of philosophy, Tyutchev emphasizes that in this world everything repeats itself, and as the spring thunder thundered hundreds of years ago, it will thunder in the same way hundreds of years after us. To conduct a literature lesson in the classroom, you can download here the text of Tyutchev's poem "Spring Thunderstorm" in full. You can also learn this piece by heart online.

    Spring, spring red ...

    Answers to pp. 74 - 75

    Nikolay Sladkov
    Spring din

    A cheerful May thunder burst out - untied tongues for all living things. Streams of sounds rushed and flooded the forest. May thundered in the forest!
    Everything that can sound sounded.
    Gloomy silent owls mutter. Cowardly hares cry fearlessly and loudly.
    The forest of screams, whistles, knocks and songs is full. Some songs flew into the forest with migratory birds from distant countries. Others were born here, in the forest. The songs met after a long parting and ring with joy from dawn to dawn.
    And in the heated steamy thicket, where the brook mutters angrily, where golden willows looked into the water, where bird cherry threw white quivering bridges from shore to shore, the first mosquito squeaked. And the white bells of the first lilies of the valley sounded barely audible ...
    For a long time a thunderstorm has flashed, but mischievous raindrops are jumping from leaf to leaf on the birches, as from step to step. They hang on the tip, trembling with fear, and, flashing desperately, jump into a puddle.
    And in the puddles, frogs toss and turn and blissfully ur-r-r-chat.
    Even the dry twisted leaves that had overwintered on the ground came to life: now they scurry and rustle on the ground like mice, now they fly up like herds of fast birds.
    Sounds from all sides: from the fields and forests, from the sky, from the water, from the ground.
    Spring din is thundering!
