The bell has already rung, let's start our lesson! 2. Formulation of the topic and lesson and setting an educational goal. Teacher: - Guys, you probably noticed the fact that the topic of the lesson is not written on the board, but there is an epigraph (reads the epigraph). To determine the topic of the lesson, I suggest you solve puzzles; the epigraph is also a kind of hint. Group 1 solves puzzles, words - “charade”, “rebus”. Teacher: -What concept, guys, do you associate these words with? Students come to the conclusion that the key word here is “riddle.” Write the word on the board. Group 2 solves puzzles, words - “child”, “adult”. Teacher: - What common word can be used to call both an adult and a child? Students come to the conclusion that both an adult and a child are a PERSON. Write the word on the board. Then determine the topic of the lesson - “The Mystery of Man.” Teacher: - Guys, what do you not know about a person yet, but would like to know? Students answer and set a learning goal. The teacher writes on the board what students need to know: * what is the difference between a person and an animal; * why a person is born; * what are the values of human life. 3. Discovery of new knowledge. Teacher: - Guys, how would you answer what a person is? (question for group 1), what is value? (question for group 2). Groups are invited to discuss and independently define these concepts, while 2 students are asked to work with dictionaries and find these definitions in them. Then the groups formulate definitions, 2 students read the definitions from dictionaries. Next, more precise definitions are formulated (slide 2) and written down in a notebook. Teacher: -Guys, you have cards on your tables with diagrams on them, use arrows to connect them into logical groups. Animals articulate speech goal setting Human sounds will thinking conscious creative activity habits molting upright walking Students, working in groups, draw diagrams, and then it is revealed that humans differ from animals in more complex patterns of behavior (articulate speech, will, conscious creative activity, etc.) PHYSICAL MINUTE (1 min). Teacher: -A person is born, and in order to develop, he needs to listen and understand the speech of others, and engage in some activity that may be useful to him in the future. On your tables there are instructional cards and diagrams (task 1), by filling out which you will be able to answer the question: why was a person born? Instruction card.

Berestov “Who is twelve years old...” Who is twelve years old went to kindergarten thousands of years ago. He remembers this very golden childhood almost with shame. Forget him quickly! After all, it is a stain in the heroic biography. Often schoolchildren are in a hurry to become adults, just like the hero of V.D. Berestov’s poem. Discuss the poem and refute (or agree) the opinion that childhood is “a blemish in a hero’s biography.” Is it possible to say that the world of childhood is a magical world, and childhood is one of the values of human life? Why? You can use quotes and an epigraph written on the board in your answer. Instruction card. Group No. 2 Task 1 Complete the expressions: * The child was born. In order for him to grow and develop, he needs to communicate with adults in order for _________________________ The child is born. In order for him to grow and develop, he needs to set a goal and engage in various activities in order to _______ ————————————————————————————————— ———- Task 2 Read the paragraph in the textbook “You have probably already read the work “The Little Prince”, §1 (p. 11). How do you understand the words of the author of the work? Is it possible to say that being aware of your responsibility for something and being proud of the victories of your comrades is a considerable value in a person’s life? Why? You can use quotes and an epigraph written on the board in your answer. Groups complete task 1 and then express their points of view and come to a common opinion - why a person is born. Teacher: -Well done. So you have answered the question: why is a person born? What does he live for? Is there always a place for heroism in a person’s life, as M. Gorky once wrote? (task 2). Group 1, having discussed task 2, answers the question, and the students come to the general opinion that childhood is an important period in a person’s life, in which there is a lot of goodness and goodness. Group 2 members ask additional questions to their classmates. Group 2, having discussed task 2, comes to the conclusion that the ability to empathize and be proud of the victories of loved ones are also important values. Group 1 members ask follow-up questions to their classmates. 4. Initial check of understanding of educational material. Teacher: -The most important values for a person are life, the ability to come to the rescue in difficult times, often risking one’s own life. And children's fairy tales often teach us good things. But... Attention. Let's look at the slides. In the cartoon about the Bremen Town Musicians, the robbers sing: “Oh-la-la, oh-la-la, tomorrow we’ll rob the king” (slide 3). In the cartoon about Cheburashka and the crocodile Gena, the old woman Shapoklyak sang that: “Whoever helps people is wasting his time, you cannot become famous for good deeds” (slide 4). Teacher: -Do you agree with these positions of fairy-tale heroes? Give reasons for your answer. Students answer the teacher's question. 5. Generalization and systematization of knowledge. Game “I give you my word - you give me 7.” The teacher names a word, students name 7 words that are associated with this concept. Word: man. Teacher: o - So our lesson ends. And by giving association examples, you yourself revealed that humanity, responsibility, the ability to come to the rescue in difficult times are what distinguish people from animals, the most important thing in any person. This is the Mystery of Man. Human life is the highest value on Earth. 6. Reflection (evaluation of one’s own activities in the lesson, one’s mood at different stages of the lesson).

From the moment of his appearance on Earth until the beginning of the 21st century, man has gone through a long path of development. If we look at it in our minds, we will see what enormous changes have taken place in the way people live, in their appearance and in the environment. Scientists are confident that not a single living creature on the planet has changed that much during this time. Only man was able to transform himself beyond recognition and transform the world around him.

How did man appear on Earth? There are different opinions. According to some scientists, the most ancient ancestors of humans are relatives of monkeys. They gradually, over a very long time - more than 2.5 million years - developed, changed, and as a result, man appeared on Earth. You will learn more about this in detail in the history lessons of the Ancient World.

What is a person?

Human nature

At its core, a person represents the unity of two principles: biological (natural, animal) and social (public). Biology translated from Greek means “the science of living things.” The word social comes from the Latin word socialis - public (Latin was once spoken by the ancient Romans).

The entire path of human development can be divided into two large stages - biological and social. The first stage is longer, the second is shorter.

During the biological stage, the main characteristics were formed that still distinguish humans from other living beings: upright posture, a developed brain, the ability to think, articulate speech, consciousness, mastery of tools and fire.

Interesting Facts

The human brain is 80% water. When a person smiles, 17 muscles work. The surface of the lungs is about 10 square meters. meters. The right lung of a person can hold more air than the left. The size of a person's heart is approximately equal to the size of his fist. In one minute, the heart pumps 23 liters of blood.

But man did not stop in his development! 40 thousand years ago a man appeared who resembled modern people - “Homo sapiens.” Everything that man has acquired in the last 40 thousand years is connected not with biology, but with society, i.e. with the fact that we live among other people.

The emergence of speech allowed a person to accumulate knowledge about the world around him and pass it on from generation to generation, gave him the opportunity to communicate with other people, helped their mutual understanding and joint activities. All this happened at the social stage of human development. In collective labor activity, man developed as a social, public being.

Interesting Facts

There are more than 30 cases in history where children were raised by animals (wolves, bears, monkeys and even a female leopard), and then returned to people. All of them had great difficulty learning a few words, could not master a straight gait and, as a rule, soon died. Why is the fate of these children this way? Because they lived for a long time away from other people, away from society. They had no one to teach them how to be human in time.

So, man is both a biological and a social being. This is the mystery of man. The biological origin of man comes from his animal past. The social principle is received from society through teaching and upbringing; it predominates in a person.

What features characterize a person as a biological being? A person has a brain, skeleton, muscles, nerves, circulatory and other systems. As biological organisms, for example, we experience the need for food, offspring, and security.

As a social being, man needs a social environment. This means that a person lives among people, in a society where certain laws, organizations, traditions, morals, customs, and social norms operate. For example, society requires young people to show respect to their elders. There is no such tradition among animals. That is, society is a social environment governed by norms and traditions. We will talk about all this later in the knowledge society course.

Another mystery of man is that we are all very different; no two people are alike. Each person has his own interests and needs, memory and will, habits and feelings, character, talents and abilities. In the next lessons we will try to solve them.

Explain how photographs show manifestations of human biological and social traits.

Let's sum it up

The mystery of man lies in the combination of biological and social principles. All people are very different, each person has a certain character, interests and needs, abilities and talents.

Basic terms and concepts

Biological, social.
