Anglický jazyk a seminář anglické konverzace ve 4. ročníku a oktávě
všeobecného gymnázia
Metodický pokyn
Tato prezentace je určena pro použití ve vyučovací hodině, pro samostatnou
práci dvojic u PC i pro samostatné domácí studium prostřednictvím pracovního
listu - jako doplněk výkladu či opakování tematických okruhů k maturitní
zkoušce na všeobecném gymnáziu.
Kromě uvedeného lexikálního cvičení – doplňování vhodných výrazů – a
cvičení čtení s porozuměním nabízí rozšíření povědomí o geografických a
historických souvislostech etap rozvoje této světové metropole i o různých
aspektech kultury, umění, literatury a politického života tohoto kosmopolitního
centra.
Je užitečné, předchází-li jednotlivým aktivitám brainstorming – umožňuje ověřit,
co žáci již znají, nabídnout, co mohou očekávat, podpořit kreativitu, soutěživost
a týmovou práci. Závěrečná sada otázek umožňuje ověřit u žáků jejich míru
vnímání i schopnost vyvozovat souvislosti z nápovědy.
Obrázků lze využít nejen k ilustraci daného jevu, ale také k popisu a porovnání.
