Wstęp do konspektu lekcji integrujący język angielski z literaturą

Rynek księgarski oferuje olbrzymią ilość dzieł najwybitniejszych pisarzy angielskich i amerykańskich w oryginale i w wersji uproszczonej. Na każdym poziomie nauki (od elementary po advance) można znaleźć coś dla siebie w wersji uproszczonej i choć trochę zbliżyć się do "prawdziwej, wysokiej" sztuki.

Jeśli uczniowie przeczytają odpowiednio dobraną książkę, na odpowiednim poziomie językowym ( nie za łatwym i nie za trudnym), to bardzo ich to dowartościowuje. Daje im namacalne uczucie sukcesu i mobilizuje do dalszej nauki i tym samym powoduje sięgnięcie po coraz trudniejsze wydania książek, a może w końcu po oryginalne dzieła przeczytanych w wersji uproszczonej autorów.

Często wydania te zawierają wiele ćwiczeń utrwalających i rozszerzających słownictwo i gramatykę. Pomagają więc uczniowi w zrozumieniu ich treści, a nauczycielowi w opracowaniu i omówieniu książki.

Myślę, że zachęcenie uczniów do czytania tego typu wydań jest bardzo rozwijającym bodźcem językowym jak i poszerzającym wiedzę uczniów o literaturze i historii kraju uczonego języka.

Takim niewątpliwie utworem jest " Przeminęło z wiatrem" Margaret Mitchell, której zaadaptowaną na potrzeby uczniów wersję A. I L. Gołębiowskich postanowiłam omówić wraz z uczniami.

Uczniowie mieli trzy miesiące na przeczytanie powieści i przygotowanie informacji o Margaret Mitchell i Wojnie Secesyjnej. Osoby chętne przygotowały bardzo krótkie notatki o autorce i tle historycznym powieści dla całej klasy.
