The originality this is that it includes individual, group, mass
work on a subject,
involves pupils with its informative side, emotionality, possibility to prove. The main
objective of carrying out the week of geography is the development of interest to
geography, vocational guidance on geographical professions, education of love to the
Homeland.
A week of geography includes the following:
· preparation and registration of the plan of the week;
· preparation and conduct a day of geography in each class;
· contest of abstracts in
geography;
· thematic issue of wall newspapers, competition for the best wall newspaper;
· excursions to museums, enterprises, institutes, meteorological stations;
· films demonstrations;
· geographical evenings, games;
· conferences on geography;
· meetings with interesting people.
The plan of the week of geography at school is usually hung out in a lobby two
weeks prior to the beginning of a holiday. Each class receives tasks.
Every week of geography has the topic, for example, «The nature and art»,
«Science on the guard of the nature», etc.
The program of the week depends on concrete possibilities of a school and may
have various forms. It may be a lecture hall for pupils of different age where teachers,
parents or pupils give lectures and give talks on subjects: «Originality of the nature of
our edge»; «At the world map».
There may be organized debates where the most actual problems about the
relationship of the nature and society, effectiveness
and need of geography are
discussed.
Debates give pupils a chance to develop ability to convincingly and consistently
assert their views. The read book, article on the geography, causing various
judgments can be a subject of debate. Usually discussion pursues the statement of
some important idea.
In conclusion the discussion is summed up, the main idea is approved. Not to
lose the pupils’ interest to debates it is necessary not to criticize unsuccessful
judgments, point to the mistakes, but pay attention of all to the well-aimed
judgments, logic of statements, the argument of conclusions.
The week of geography at school should be used as much as possible for popular
scientific, fiction literature promotion which influences the outlook formation,
cognitive interests, raises interest to the science, influences the profession choice.
