3. Block “Work in pairs”

In preparation for expressive reading, we need to understand the lexical meaning of words that you may have difficulty understanding. They are highlighted in the text. Let's try to determine the meaning of these words ourselves. We will work in pairs, as you sit at the table. Each table has red cards and green cards. Red cards are words or combinations of words, and green cards are their lexical meaning. In a pair you need to connect the word and its lexical meaning. For example, let’s take a red card with the word “spruce forest”, find a green card corresponding to the word “spruce forest” - this is a card with the sentence “Forest in which spruce trees grow.” We connected these cards. And then continue this work on your own in pairs.

Let's check how you completed the task.

1 stanza (first row)

Elnik is a forest in which spruce trees grow.

Thin-legged deer is a deer that has thin legs.

Heavy horns - heavy horns

2nd stanza (second row)

Scraped with a tooth - gnawed with a tooth

Ostinka is a diminutive form of the word “awn”: a thin long bristle on the ear of cereals; in this case we are talking about pine needles.

3rd stanza

Measured trace - a certain measure for the trace

Dog rut - (drive - hunt, drive.)

4th stanza (third row)

Swiftness - speed

How many of you completed the task without errors? Evaluate your couple's work.

4. Block “Content”

1. What does the poem begin with? (WITH dense spruce forest )

Reading lines 1 and 2:

Dense green spruce forest near the road,

Deep fluffy snow .

2. Why do you think Bunin began his poem with a description of a spruce forest?(We are shown quiet life forests, when people do not interfere with nature)

3. Who is the main character of the poem? (Deer) . Let's read the lines in which we first see the deer. Reading lines 3 and 4 of stanza 1.

4. Describe the deer based on the words from the poem you just read.(Mighty deer, thin-legged, with heavy antlers)

5. Read to yourself the 2nd stanza, 2nd column of the poem. Try to find another hero of the poem in him. Who is another hero of the poem? (Author, narrator )

7. Do you think the author saw the deer itself? (No, just his trace; and following the trail he tells us what happened to the deer)

People who know well and nature lovers, can, from the tracks of an animal, as if from a book, understand what happened in the forest . So the author learned his story from the tracks of the deer. I wonder if we can do this by analyzing the poem further.

8. Read the third stanza, 3rd column. Think about where the description of the calm life of the forest ends? (1st line:Here is the trail again, measured and sparse.)

9. What line do you think, from what words does the deer’s track change? (From the 2nd, from the words:And suddenly - a jump!).

10. Why do you think the deer’s track changes, why did it jump?

(Scared)

15. Let's read the last line of the poem. Read it to us.........

How does this line make you feel? Why? (Joy, the deer survived)

5. Block “Creative warm-up”

a) “Title of the poem”

Guys, you have already noticed that Bunin did not give a title to his poem. We call it after the first line of the poem: “Dense green spruce forest by the road...”.

Why do you think the author himself did not give any title to his poem?

(It deprives the reader of the opportunity to feel a sense of admiration for the beauty of the beast.)

I offer you creative task: come up with a title for the poem (Answer options: “Handsome deer”, “Beauty conquers death”, “Dense green spruce forest by the road...”, “Beauty”)

Guys, which name of the proposed options did you like best? Why? (He took beauty away from death! main topic poems)

b) “Continue the poem.”

I think you have heard the expression more than once “man is the master of nature ».

How do you understand this expression?

Do you agree with this statement?

Who then is the person?

He is an integral part of nature. It is for you and me that spring comes every year, nature comes to life so that people can admire it and sing about it. And deer are part of nature. And just imagine, for a deer, which is the same Living being, like us, spring may not come because someone just wanted to kill him.

What is the author asking us to understand?

6. Block “Work in groups”

The deer escaped the pursuit, survived, and I suggest you try to write down what happened to the deer next:

And beauty from death he ......... (verbs)

The fir forest by the road has quieted down,

And fell silent in the meadow…………. dog.

The deer left……., …………………

And he took away beauty from death. (adjectives)

7. Block "Pin" Working on expressive reading:

Will we read the entire poem at the same pace?

Which lines are read slower and which lines read faster?

Expressive reading aloud.

Let's look again at the mood of the lyrical hero, the narrator. What is it and how is it changing?

Stanza 1.Admiring and waiting (description)

Stanza 2.Waiting, peering, searching ( narration)

Stanza 3.Again, waiting, peering and... surprise - “and suddenly - a jump!” ( reasoning)

Will help you understand it keywords 4 stanzas. Which? (beauty is death) Is the poem only about nature? (about the victory of beauty over death, good over evil)

Conclusion: Ivan Alekseevich Bunin in the poem “Dense green spruce forest by the road...” sees more than preserving the life of an animal, he sees PRESERVATION OF BEAUTY. Bunin calls on us to especially vigilantly see and notice what is hidden from the eyes of a lazy person, indifferent to his native nature. Since ancient times, the deer has been considered a universal auspicious symbol. It is associated with purity, sunrise, renewal, light, spirituality and creation. The most characteristic qualities of the animal: grace, swiftness, beauty. It is no coincidence that the image of a deer appears in Bunin’s poem. Through it, the poet manages to demonstrate to readers the majesty and splendor of northern nature. Of all the forest animals, it is the deer that is most suitable as the personification of beauty and nobility.

8. “Resume” block

What excites you?

What are you thinking about? (Writers, artists, poets know how to love and appreciate nature, so they painted amazing pictures with colors and words.)

This poem was written 100 years ago, but today, almost a century later, we are studying this poem and admiring these paintings. Why? (The desire to save beauty from destruction is still relevant, and therefore Bunin’s beautiful poem sounds very modern.)

Continue the phrase (reflection):

    I was excited...

    I thought...

    Today I managed...

    It was interesting to me…

    I found it difficult...

    I would like to…

Homework:

Guys, you can do everything at home:

a) on the expressiveness of reading a poem (by heart if desired)

Those who write poetry

b) try to write your own poem about nature for the next lesson.

Those who love to draw

c) draw an illustration for the poem.

You will find these tasks in the workbook.

The poet has the gift of painting with words, like an artist painting with a brush. And poems reveal to us the beauty of our native nature, urge us to protect it, and teach us to understand the language of nature. But this will not be revealed to everyone, but only to an intelligent, kind, sensitive and attentive person. Let's try to become like that!

The poem “Dense green spruce forest by the road” was written in 1905 and published in the collection “Poems 1903 – 1906”. It was originally called "Deer". Later, Bunin removed the title based on the artistic concept: the deer is the epic hero of the poem, but the idea is not focused on the image of the deer, although this image helps to realize it.

Literary direction and genre

The poem is a wonderful example landscape lyrics. Bunin is traditionally considered a realist writer, although this issue is disputed by some literary scholars. The lyrical hero peers into the world around him, like a ranger, reads the history of his deer, which he sees in nature, as in a mirror. By creation method artistic image The poem is realistic. But the features of modernism slip through in the very choice of the subject of description: the deer is shown in a moment mortal danger, Bunin depicts life as a short moment, emphasizing its fragility. This worldview is characteristic of modernism.

Theme, main idea and composition

The poem consists of 4 quatrains. In the first stanza the author describes an idyllic picture winter forest, against which appears main character poems - a mighty deer.

In the second stanza, the reader suddenly realizes that the lyrical hero did not see the deer. He judges the appearance and behavior of a deer only by its tracks. Thus, from the second stanza, the lyrical hero himself appears in the poem, as if leading the reader, pointing him to important details.

In the third stanza, conflict appears and there is even a semblance of the climax of the epic work. The deer's jump is associated with an attack by a pack of dogs. It seems as if the lyrical hero went out to the edge of the forest and sees a dog rutting in the meadow (or hears the barking of this rutting dog). Or maybe he is just guessing, recognizing from the tracks that the deer ran into the valley, followed by a pack of dogs. The last stanza remains mysterious: does the lyrical hero see a deer rushing into the distance or does he just imagine this deer and imagine how he could behave?

The epic plot of a poem can last literally a few moments if the lyrical hero observes tracks on the road and a deer running away in the distance. Or the hero can walk through the winter forest for several hours, looking at the tracks of a deer and imagining his proud appearance and the events that happened to him.

Regardless of which option Bunin envisioned and which the reader saw, the lyrical hero’s result is a philosophical discussion about beauty and death, about the quintessence of life. There is no epic denouement in the poem: the deer carried beauty away from death, but did it carry it away? This struggle of beauty as the embodiment of life and death lasts forever, like the climax of the poem.

The theme of the poem is the beauty of nature, which makes you stop and take a closer look. The deer is the embodiment of this beauty. The main idea is verbally expressed in the last stanza: beauty is the power that conquers death.

Paths and images

The first stanza is a description of the winter forest and deer using epithets: dense green spruce forest, deep furry snow, mighty thin-legged deer, serious horns. Inversion when describing a deer becomes the reason for the isolation of epithets, highlights red deer from the rest of nature.

The second stanza describes the traces of a deer's life. The look of the lyrical hero is as close as possible to the objects. The footprint of a deer is visible, and even from the imprints of the teeth the lyrical hero guesses their whiteness, which means their strength (epithet white tooth).

The tree in this stanza takes on human characteristics: it has a crown (personification), from which, like hair, needles and leaves fall off.

In the third stanza, the slowness of the narrative, which is similar to measured and rare the deer trail (epithets) is broken. They are opposed to a jump. Bunin emphasizes suddenness with the word “suddenly.” The absence of predicate verbs in the first, second and second parts of the last sentence gives rise to speed and dynamics. The only predicate in this stanza is lost (about the dog's race). Unlike the second stanza, the lyrical hero’s gaze is as far away from the object as possible, the dog race and the deer in front of him are lost in the distance. The unfinished last sentence is both an unfinished concrete thought and a tense anticipation of the outcome.

The last stanza, which contains the conclusion and hope of the lyrical hero, but not the denouement of the epic plot, is full of epithets and adverbial epithets: easy, crazy, fresh strength, joyfully bestial swiftness. All these are the qualities of a beautiful deer that allow him to win and survive. In essence, these are the components of true natural beauty, be it in man or beast. There are two sentences in this stanza, both exclamatory. The interjection conveys the emotions of the lyrical hero.

Slide 5 (Thank you)


Ivan Bunin
"Dense green spruce forest near the road..."

Dense green spruce forest near the road,
Deep fluffy snow.
A deer walked in them, powerful, thin-legged,
Throwing heavy horns to the back.

Here is his trace. There are paths trampled here,
Here I bent the tree and scraped it with a white tooth -
And a lot of coniferous crosses, ostinok
It fell from the top of the head onto the snowdrift.

Here again the trail is measured and sparse,
And suddenly - a jump! And far away in the meadow
The dog race is lost - and the branches are lost,
Covered with horns on the run...

Oh, how easily he passed through the valley!
How madly, in an abundance of fresh strength,
In joyfully bestial swiftness,
He took beauty away from death!

Bunin's poetry is very original, stylistically restrained, precise, and harmonious. The poet is alien to the search for something new. His poetry is traditional, he is a follower of Russian classics. Bunin is a subtle lyricist, an excellent connoisseur of the Russian language. His poems are unique. This is more rhymed, organized prose than poetry in its classical form. But it is precisely their novelty and freshness that attracts readers.

Bunin had a sharply negative attitude towards symbolism; all of his poetics, in essence, was a persistent struggle against symbolism. Moreover, the poet was not embarrassed that he found himself alone in this struggle. He sought to tear out from his work everything that could be in common with this movement in art. Bunin especially rejected the “untruth” of symbolism. For the Symbolists, reality was a veil, a mask hiding another, more genuine reality, the exposure of which is accomplished through the transformation of reality in a creative act. Landscape is a touchstone in the depiction of reality. It is here that Bunin is especially persistent against the symbolists. For them, nature is raw material that they process. Bunin wants to be a contemplator of perfect creation.
Bunin remained true to his anti-symbolism; he could not believe that form could serve not only as a container for thought, but also express thought itself.
The form of Bunin's poems, of course, is impeccable, but it cannot help but note that the poet deliberately deprived it of many significant possibilities. By binding his form, he had partially bound himself.
