“Love for one’s native nature is one of the most important signs of love for one’s country.” K.G. Paustovsky. Essay-reasoning on the topic “Love for the Motherland Essay Love for Nature

The unique beauty of our native nature has always encouraged us to take up the pen. How many writers have sung this beauty in verse and prose! (jlvotes)

The writer's eyes see many small miracles, and his pen creates poetic prose full of wonderful images. Deep observation and sensitivity help to penetrate into the hidden life of nature, to listen to the howling of a winter blizzard, the song of spring streams, the ringing voices of birds, to feel the hidden life of the forest.

Our village has had the beautiful name Peganovo for about four centuries. According to data from the archives, it was possible to find out that in the old days “piebald” (motley) horses were bred in the village, hence the name of the village.

Much water has passed under the bridge since those distant times, but the village still breeds horses.

Walking past a large field where schoolchildren used to plant potatoes, I saw beautiful picture- a green field, and beautiful horses graze on it. The grass is still small, but already juicy, excellent food for horses.

A little more time will pass, and this field will be yellow-yellow from the blossoming dandelions, and in a week or two it will become white-white from the fluffy caps of the same dandelions. Beauty!

In the chariot of the earth.

Tired horses are resting -

Silence in the green meadow

The sun bows its head downwards,

The firmament compresses the arc.

The sun is getting ready for the night,

But the wheels of the Earth rolled,

Because in the earthly cart

The young moon was harnessed.

Horses look with understanding

On the steep road to the zenith.

And a sympathetically quiet neigh

The meadow rings in the evenings.

A beautiful rowan tree grows near my house. At the beginning of summer, she stands like a bride, all in white flowers, and closer to autumn the berries ripen. The branches bend towards the ground, all strewn with red clusters. At the end of September or at the beginning of October, when the leaves have already flown around, whole flocks of blackbirds and waxwings fly in to feast on the juicy berries.

You don’t have to go far, this is the beauty of nature, just extend your hand...

“.....As if hoping for some miracle, I look sadly out the window at the August road dirt. There, across the street of our dying village, one can see the neighbor’s rowan trees, laden with abundant clusters.

How many berries have grown! From a distance one can feel the weight of the grapes, pressing the tree joints to the ground. It seems that in the patient tension of the branches the tree is waiting for a flock of hungry gray blackbirds to finally swoop down. They will empty all this colorful wealth in five minutes. Once I saw how blackbirds, in one swoop, cleaned out our rowan tree. The birds pecked at the berries with hasty greed; some hung upside down on the branches and still pecked. But why is one rowan orange, the other red?......"

I really love going to the forest, collecting forest gifts: berries and mushrooms. Not far from our village, about three kilometers away, there is a beautiful forest in which porcini mushrooms grow. You get up early in the morning, walk through the field through the dew and into the forest, you have to be first, otherwise you won’t see any mushrooms. Knowing all the mushroom spots, sometimes you can cover a single kilometer in the forest, but you never leave empty-handed. Here they are - handsome little white ones.

“I knew one place, I kept it and took care of it. There was a reason: if you get there, you will fill the basket in full. Just porcini mushrooms. Just saffron milk caps. Climb the hill into the pine forest - the whites will go. Go down to the damp moss - if you please, there will be a bunch of saffron milk caps. ...

....I remember the morning was cool, my hands were cold. I found boletus mushrooms in the warming zone: all of them are round-headed, their foreheads are smart and steep. Tanned, strong guys with thick legs. The sun had enough of them, they were warm, I took them and warmed my palms on the hats!..."

Continuing the mushroom theme, I couldn’t pass by such a beautiful mushroom - the fly agaric. There is a handsome man standing there: a red hat with white polka dots, I would have taken it in the basket, but I can’t - it’s poisonous. Let's leave this delicacy for forest dwellers, and especially for moose.

Morning in the forest.

It's good in the forest, by God!

It contains either a trail or an eel.

Out, yawning, on the road

A red fly agaric came out.

He took in everything with a sleepy glance,

I looked here and there.

No one... Well, no need!

Sleep longer, gentlemen!

I love nature very much, everything blooming, fluttering, growing... In the summer a lot flies in the field beautiful butterflies. They fly from flower to flower, from chamomile to burdock, and fly further. It seems that they have a carefree life, fly and flutter, but, alas, their life is short-lived, because many butterflies live only one summer. And I, having a camera in my hand, could not pass by such beauty of nature, I captured a small piece of summer in the photo.

Impossibility.

I would love quiet jasmine,

The cry of the well to the song of the gate,

Tea with lemon, cozy fireplace

Decorated with snail shells.

I would love the gentle jasmine,

And the night light, and the flickering of the lamp,

And in the cellar the wines are fermenting,

Lampshade halo and beds.

I would love tender jasmine,

Blue would be the color of impatiens.

I would coo and amuse myself with him,

...But the burdock stands by the road...

Midsummer... The raspberries are ripe. I take a bucket and go into the forest for a sweet berry, fortunately it grows nearby, just a stone’s throw away. Forest raspberries have grown in an old clearing, don’t be lazy, go and collect them. Berry in the bucket, berry in the mouth. Mmmm....Sweetie!

I am calling, calling my friend into the forest:

The raspberries are crumbling!

My friend is not interested in the forest,

Doesn't agree at all.

Now she has no time, now she is sick,

They'll bombard you with excuses!

And until dark in the forest alone

I walk and wander with a bucket.

To me in the silence of the forest

Bird whistles flow...

I don’t crush raspberries in vain:

I strip the bush clean,

So as not to beckon after me

To yourself of other prospectors, -

High berries, so from the stump

I'll definitely get it!

I walk and wander, I trample and circle,

Taking wild raspberries,

Then I’ll save the brain as it was,

Then I’ll purr the song.....

The theme of nature in the works of writers is very multifaceted. I chose the works of writers and poets of the Vologda region, because no one will write about our nature the way our fellow countrymen see it.

All writers, as convinced connoisseurs of true beauty, prove that human influence on nature should not be destructive for it, because every meeting with nature is a meeting with beauty, a touch of mystery. Loving nature means not only enjoying it, but also treating it with care.

Environmental education in literature lessons.

from the work experience of a teacher of Russian language and literature Svetlana Adamovna Agafonova

KSU "General Education high school No. 4"

City of Shemonaikha.

“Love for one’s native nature is one of the most important signs of love for one’s country,” wrote K. Paustovsky.

Forming feelings for the Motherland and nurturing love for native nature as part of it is one of the important tasks school course literature. Nature evokes strong aesthetic and patriotic feelings in the soul of an artist of words. And this determines the lyrical pathos of the works that we convey to students.

Without any doubt, every teacher understands that environmental education in literature lessons is component moral and aesthetic education.

Spiritual and emotional underdevelopment, along with environmental ignorance, is one of the reasons for the indifferent and barbaric attitude towards nature.

In the literature program, the dominant place is occupied by works whose art world connected with what is eternal in our understanding of life: with the native land, the person on it, with the homeland, nature, people, spiritual memory, continuity and traditions - in other words, with spirituality as a person’s ability to comprehend life in all its manifestations, to self-knowledge, without which there is no loving, caring attitude towards nature. However, in the practice of our work, there is often insufficient attention to the problems of man’s connection with the natural world, “with our smaller brothers.” These problems have been and remain for writers of many generations. the most pressing problems time.

Literature reflects and shapes the view of nature, primarily as a wonderful and elevating organization, as a universal human value. The rich world of nature, its harmony, beauty are revealed in the works of P. Bazhov, I. Turgenev, F. Tyutchev, K. Paustovsky, V. Astafiev and many other writers whose work is studied at school.

Literature, as it moves through time, increasingly intensifies its anxiety about the fate of man and the fate of the Earth on which we live. Artists of words help to bring students to an awareness of what this is connected with, to cause concern and anxiety for the state of nature. If in the works of writers of the 19th century we see the unbroken harmony of man and nature, acting as a single whole, then already in the works of Prishvin alarming notes appear, they intensify in the works of Soloukhin, who calls not for dependency, but for cooperation with nature, and reaches an aggravated ringing heights in “The King Fish” by V. Astafiev, in the stunning work of Ch. Aitmatov “The Scaffold”, main idea which is that the death of nature due to human intervention leads to the death of man himself; a person who destroys nature destroys, first of all, himself.

Artistic image The world created in literature reproduces such relationships when man and nature seem to look at each other and reveal their innermost meaning in dialogue. Nature in a work of art helps to better understand state of mind, inner world hero. It is enough to recall now the works of Pushkin, Lermontov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Sholokhov and many others.

By drawing various relationships between man and nature, works of art allow the student to identify the nature of his relationships with the world, to realize that a person’s relationship to nature reveals his moral and social essence.

In literature, the image of the Motherland is certainly associated with the image native land. Each nation has its own type of consciousness, its own poetic views of nature. These images form the soul of every nation.

You cannot love your Motherland without living in one soul with the life of your beloved birch tree. You cannot love the whole world without having a homeland. What we sometimes take for pure poetry of nature, landscape sketches, turns out to be a special manifestation of citizenship and patriotism, without which it is impossible careful attitude to nature, human activity in protecting it, preserving and increasing its wealth.

When solving the problem of instilling a caring attitude towards nature in the classroom, we must not forget about the specifics of the impact artistic word for a student reader. For this effect to take place it is necessary:

*Constantly evoking a strong, vivid emotion to the proposed artistic material is an emotional word from the teacher, expressive reading by the teacher or students, addressing them with journalistically pointed questions.

An example of a teacher’s deep personal appeal to each student can be a word designed for a sincere response, for example, when reading V. Rasputin’s story “Farewell to Matera.” “If the Earth is a territory and nothing more, then the attitude towards it is appropriate. The land, the native land, the Motherland is liberated, the territory is captured. The owner is on the earth, on the territory - a conqueror, conqueror. So who is this earth-nurse-earth, earth-earth, Motherland, the whole Earth? Or territory. Who are we on this earth - masters or temporary aliens: we came, we stayed, we don’t need the past, we don’t have a future? We took everything we could, and then there was a flood?”

*Recreation in the students’ imagination of visual and auditory images of nature, revealing its beauty, grandeur, value, and influence on the inner world of man. The solution to this problem is the type of questions and tasks that allows the reader to experience the “effect of presence”:

How we see the world in the work (nature, forest, land, lake...)

So, together with the writer, we mentally walked through the forest and lake. What and why did we see and hear? (For example, when getting acquainted with the work of M. Prishvin “Pantry of the Sun”, 5th grade.)

Retell the description of nature, preserving the author's epithets and comparisons.

How does the picture of nature change during the day?

How is morning born?

What do these indicate? art paintings?

Also important are tasks that ask you to convey your perception of nature (its sounds, colors, movements) and feelings evoked by artistic and real pictures of nature (love, admiration, joy, sadness, anxiety, pain).

*Realize the impact on a person’s inner world. This is helped by tasks to comprehend the statements of literary heroes, for example, the hero of one of the stories by V. Rasputin, who admires the beauty of the evening by the river: “Why do we spend so much time worrying about our daily bread and so rarely raise our eyes around us and stop in surprise and anxiety: why didn’t I understand before that it is in such moments that beauty and kindness are born and filled human soul

Students are asked to convey their attitude to this statement, tell whether they have experienced such moments, and think about what it says.

*Because work of art- this is a reflection of life through the prism of the author’s attitude towards it, it is necessary to direct students to assess the environmental situation that formed the basis of the work, to evaluate it by the author, to compare the writer’s positions in his attitude to nature with his own, the reader’s.

To understand the position of writers and their attitude towards it, it is important to pose these types of questions to students:

How does the artist appear to you from his statements and works about nature? What are you concerned about? What does it stand for? Why are we irreconcilable? Which writer’s views are closest to you?

What beliefs of his could you say that these are your beliefs?

*To transfer “to yourself” the situations described in the works, actions, deeds, thoughts, feelings of the characters associated with the perception of nature and attitude towards it. This leads to a deeply personal experience and comprehension of what you read. For example, tasks of this type are appropriate here:

The writer K. Paustovsky called the region dear to his heart an ordinary land.

Do you agree with him?

Do we love our land? How does this manifest itself?

What poetic images of your native land, native nature are closest to you and why?

IN lately environmental anxiety takes on a special social resonance in our literature. Our concern for this problem will help us raise active environmentalists.

Such works as “Pantry of the Sun” and “Everything in a Melting Haze” do not leave you indifferent. “Here you need to look closely” - this is the motto of the joint work of the teacher and students.

Tell us about the corners of your small Motherland that are dearest to your heart?

When you leave and think about your hometown, what is the first thing you remember?

Name the places in the area or city where you like to visit? What do you know about these places? What colors would you use to depict the evening dawn or the setting sun?

All this work leads to the conclusion: to look closely at nature and see “charm” in its inconspicuousness and shyness - this means acquiring such vigilance of the soul and heart, which will then allow you to truly look at yourself, at people, at life, and understand its meaning .

This is confirmed by the essays that our students write after getting acquainted with works that take them into the world of their native nature. These works are the result of the enormous influence that works have on the formation of the best principles in a person.

6th grade student Kirill R. writes an essay “In the apiary”

Work is life.

One summer, my uncle came to us and invited me to the apiary. He is a beekeeper.

I really enjoyed it at the apiary. It is located in a ravine. There are many trees growing around the apiary, and the stream is babbling merrily. The cheerful singing of birds and the chirping of magpies can be heard all day long in the green foliage of the trees. For several days I lived in the apiary and helped my uncle. The work is very interesting, but difficult. Bees interested me because of their hard work. From sunrise to sunset, their work is in full swing. The life of a bee is very short: after ten flights it dies from overwork.

I learned a lot of interesting things about the life of bees from my uncle this summer. But the work of a beekeeper is similar to the life of bees. He also gets up with the first rays of the sun and finishes work late in the evening.

Watching bees, ants, birds, adults, I came to the conclusion that work is the meaning of everything on earth, work is life.

Great value M. Prishvin’s work “The Pantry of the Sun” is instrumental in instilling a caring attitude towards nature. Prishvin looks at nature not through the eyes of a random traveler, but with the kind gaze of a zealous worker who finds the forest in difficult times. post-war years gave warmth, food, life. When getting acquainted with the work, we especially emphasize the idea that nature is a public property, a source of beauty and moral health. As the class works on the work, I strive for this idea to become dear to them too.

Here is an appeal to Antipych asking where the truth is. But Antipych answers:

No, I can’t say while I’m alive, you look for it yourself.

Are put problematic issues:

What is Antipych's truth? Why should everyone seek the truth themselves?

These questions and tasks give meaning to the entire work on the fairy tale, determine the role and purpose of each fact and episode in the work.

Fifth graders find the answer to the first question in the work itself: “This truth is the truth of the eternal harsh struggle for love.” The teacher explains these words to the students and helps them answer the last question: a person throughout his life comprehends the truth in a harsh struggle for love for people, for the world around him, for nature; everyone comes to this truth only through their own experience, specific deeds and actions.

Can we assume that Antipych himself deeply knew this truth? What did Travka understand that people didn’t seem to understand? This question is very important: why is Antipych’s truth the truth of a harsh struggle? Fighting what against what?

The answer to it helps the guys contrast the most important qualities that determine people’s actions: on the one hand, love for them, on the other hand, selfishness.

To feel the unity of nature and man, the indivisibility of the entire living world, the inextricable close connection of everything that exists on earth, a serious conversation is needed.

Can pine trees, spruce trees, and the wind resemble living beings?

Why do we sympathize with crippled trees?

Prove that Prishvin’s feelings for nature are warmed by living participation, that for him she has a living soul?

Is the title of the fairy tale “The Pantry of the Sun” justified?

How many years will peat last for a large factory? What about the forests? Yagodnikov? Animals and birds, if not protected and replenished?

Our goal is achieved if the guys understand that for wise man, a prudent owner who takes from nature in moderation, wisely, giving her his strength, taking care of her, nature is a friend, an ally. If a person only takes, he will destroy first nature, and then himself.

By showing the relationship between man and nature, we reveal the “truth” of man through nature.

Why is the “Pantry of the Sun” open?

Listening to the students’ reasoning, I draw their attention to the idea that those who know and love it, who truly know how to work, can take advantage of the wealth and treasure of nature. In this regard, we are talking about Nastya and Mitrash.

We emphasize children’s hard work, love for all living things, sensitive attitude to nature, closeness to it, and their selflessness. Nastya gave the sick children a healing berry, collected with great danger and labor, which she and Mitrasha also needed.

Reflecting with students on the title of the fairy tale, we talk about the role of the sun in the life of nature and man, as an inexhaustible source of heat, under the beneficial influence of which life develops, the world becomes kinder, comes to life, and is filled with colors and light.

Show how nature carefully stores and uses the solar heat given off during the day.

Students read how, on a large black stump that kept the warmth of the sun, “six small lizards crawled out of the swamp and fell into the warmth,” and “four lemongrass butterflies, folding their wings, fell with their antennae,” and large black flies flew in to spend the night.”

In conclusion, we read Prishvin’s words about the role of the sun in the life of nature: “... the hot sun was the mother of every blade of grass, every flower, every marsh bush and berry. The sun gave warmth to all of them.”

Don’t you find the truth of Antipych in the sun or, conversely, the truth of the sun in Antipych?

Summarizing our observations, we note that the truth of the sun is the same truth of Antipych. Its essence is the same: love, goodness, warmth and light transform life, and hatred, evil, and cold darken and oppress it. Just as the sun unselfishly gives warmth to all living things, so Antipych gives goodness to the forest, people, and Grass.

To master Antipych's truth means to be imbued with love for the surrounding nature, to merge with it, to achieve true human beauty.

During their joint work, fifth-graders became convinced that the wealth of nature and its beauty must be protected and preserved, since, according to Prishvin, “to protect nature means to protect the Motherland.”

Both when reading the works of classical writers, and when reading the works modern writers There is a big conversation about nature, about caring for it, a part of our life, and eternal problems of good and evil are being solved.

Works are offered for independent reading that will make you see and understand a lot in the life of nature, and seriously think about your participation in its fate. Teenagers show particular interest in works in which man’s four-legged friend, the dog, appears. This is “White Bim” Black ear"by Troepolsky, "The Tsar Fish" by Astafiev, "Descendant of Jim" by Abramov, stories by Bianchi and others.

In high school, students read independently and taught lessons on works based on the theme of defense environment(this is Rasputin “Farewell to Matera”, “Live and Remember”, Vasiliev “Don’t Shoot the White Swans”, Aitmatov “White Steamer”, “The Scaffold” and others). After discussing what they read, they wrote an essay. For example, an essay was proposed - a miniature “Man and Nature.” Here is one of them.

« Happiness is being with nature, seeing it, talking with it,” Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy wrote more than a hundred years ago. But the nature in Tolstoy’s time and even much later, when our grandparents were children, surrounded people completely different from the one among which we live now. Rivers then calmly carried their clear water into the seas and oceans, the forests were so dense that fairy tales were entangled in their branches, and in the blue sky, nothing except bird songs disturbed the silence.

And just recently we realized that all this: clean rivers and lakes, wild forests, unplowed steppes, animals and birds are becoming fewer and fewer. The crazy twenty-first century has brought humanity, along with a stream of discoveries, many problems.

Among them, environmental protection is very, very important. Individual people busy with their work notice how nature is becoming poorer, how difficult it was once to guess that the Earth was round. those who are constantly connected with nature, people who observe and study - scientists, writers, nature reserve workers, many others, and recently astronauts have discovered that the nature of our planet is quickly becoming scarcer. And people on earth began to talk, write, make films about it, and began to think and worry.

Many literary artists have written and continue to write about nature. As children, we read Aksakov, Bianchi, Paustovsky and many other writers who reflected nature, its flora and fauna in their works.

B. Vasiliev, V. Rasputin, Ch. Aitmatov write with emotional pain about the relationship between man and nature. They manage to deeper reveal the moral suffering of the heroes through images of nature.

Nothing can replace living, changeable nature for us, which means it’s time to come to our senses, in a new way, much more thriftily, more caringly than before, to treat it, because we ourselves are also a part of it, despite the fact that we have fenced ourselves off from it with the stone walls of cities. And if nature is bad, it will certainly be bad for us too.”

All of our current pain for our land, for the destruction of grass and wildlife, is heard in these works and there is a call to come to our senses, to preserve our planet Earth, to leave it for posterity.

The theme of war and ecology sounds and will not cease to sound in our literature as long as it exists. Therefore, it is no coincidence that it is precisely such works that are read with interest by the younger generation, causing so much thought, shaping the best, human.

Nature teaches us to understand beauty Based on one or more works of Russian literature

Landscape lyrics constitute the main wealth of A.A.’s lyrics. Feta. Fet knows how to see and hear an unusual amount in nature, to depict its innermost world, to convey his romantic admiration for meeting nature, and the philosophical thoughts born when contemplating its appearance. Fet is characterized by the amazing subtlety of a painter, the variety of experiences born from communication with nature. Fetov’s poetics is based on a special philosophy that expresses the visible and invisible connections between man and nature (the cycles “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn”, “Snow”, “Fortune-telling”, “Evenings and Nights”, “Sea”).

The lyrical hero Fet strives to merge with the beyond. Only life in the beyond gives him the opportunity to experience a state of absolute freedom. But nature leads man into this beyond. The happiest moment for him is the feeling of complete merging with nature:

Night flowers sleep all day long,

But as soon as the sun sets behind the grove,

The leaves are quietly opening,

And I hear my heart bloom.

The blossoming of the heart is a symbol of spiritual connection with nature (moreover, such a connection that occurs as an aesthetic experience). The more a person is captured by the aesthetic experience of nature, the further he moves away from reality.

There is no end to the appeals to nature in Fet’s lyrics:

Open your arms to me,

Densely leafy, spreading forest.

The lyrical hero wants to embrace the forest in order to “sigh sweetly.”

Themes of the poem “Whisper, timid breathing...”: nature, love. Date in the garden. Mysterious twilight. Verblessness. "Music of Love". Fet depicts not so much objects and phenomena as shades, shadows, and vague emotions. Love and landscape lyrics merge into one whole. The key images of Fet's lyrics are “rose” and “nightingale”. “Purple of the Rose” in the finale turns into a triumphant “dawn”. This is a symbol of the light of love, the sunrise of a new life - the highest expression of spiritual elation.

Dissolving into natural world, plunging into its most mysterious depths, the lyrical hero Feta gains the ability to see the beautiful soul of nature.

Project “What Nature Teaches Us”

Annotation

In the sayings of ancient and modern sages we often come across the advice: “Learn from nature.” What do you mean? Maybe this is a poetic exaggeration? How can we learn from people, we can imagine without much difficulty, but how can we learn from nature? Can fresh mountain air filled with prana give us anything other than health and vitality? Walking among the trees, contemplating the flow of the river, observing the change of seasons, can we gain new knowledge? How and what can nature teach us?

From nature, man has learned everything he can; many ideas for transforming the surrounding reality, changing it, have been gleaned by man from nature itself. Man himself, as a part of nature, changes and transforms it.

During the preparation of the project, the child had the opportunity to satisfy his curiosity, which allowed him to expand his understanding of how to learn from nature. Independently summarize received ideas and draw conclusions.

The work has a defined goal: to find out what nature teaches us.

A hypothesis has been put forward: children, having gained knowledge about environmental phenomena and the behavior of animals, will treat them more carefully.

When working on the project, the following research methods were used:

Theoretical

Literature analysis.

Comparisons and observations.

Empirical

Observation.

Practical

Making booklets

Conclusion: From this work we can conclude that it is informative - research activities allows you to expand your understanding of the world around you, help children from an early age understand that they are part of nature, teaches you to generalize received ideas and draw conclusions.

Introduction.

What nature teaches us

The sun teaches us not to regret,

River - don't sit still,

The star is to burn, the earth is to search,

The expanse of heaven - to take off from the ground.

The rains teach us purity,

Flowers - love, sunset - a dream,

Resistance - sails,

Forgiveness - mother's eyes.

One day Valentina Mikhailovna read us a poem by the poet Vladimir Natanovich Orlov:

Us at any time of the year

Wise nature teaches.

Birds teach singing

Spider - patience.

Bees in the field and garden

They teach us how to work.

And besides, in their work

Everything is fair.

Reflection in water

Teaches us truthfulness.

Snow teaches us purity,

The sun teaches kindness

And with all the enormity

Teaches modesty.

Nature has it all year round

You need to study.

We are trees of all species

All the great forest people,

Teaches strong friendship.

How can one learn from people, I can imagine without much difficulty, but how can one learn from nature? What can she teach us? I decided to find out what we can still learn from nature.

Purpose of the work: to find out what we can learn from nature.

The object of study was nature.

The subject of the study was natural phenomena and animal habits.

To achieve this goal, I solved the following tasks:

1. Study of natural phenomena, life and habits of animals;

2. Mastering ideas and concepts about living and inanimate nature;

3. The ability to find an answer to an exciting question using a variety of sources.

4. Developing an understanding of the relationships in nature and man’s place in it.

Description of work.

Hello. My name is Razumov Vladislav. I go to kindergarten"Berry" for the preparatory group.

One day Valentina Mikhailovna read us a poem by the poet Vladimir Natanovich Orlov: “What nature teaches us.” And I began to wonder what else we can learn from nature. I talked with the teacher, read encyclopedias with my mother, and looked for information on the Internet. And today I want to talk about what I learned. I hope you find it as interesting as I do.

There is a tree in front of us. It stands motionless.

It endures everything: wind and cold, rain and snow. They cut the branch, it says nothing. The tree is very patient by nature. You can learn patience from him.

What does a dog teach us? The dog is an attentive observer, surprisingly sensitive to the most diverse emotions and intentions of people. Once in new team, the dog needs some time to understand how the roles are distributed here, who is the leader, who is the breadwinner, who will play and walk with him. And only after being oriented in the system of relations between people, the dog establishes its own special relationship with each member of the team individually. Her tact and ability to establish contact with people depending on their individual characteristics and preferences are worth learning.

When we see a dog, we see complete fidelity in the look. Why do people love dogs? Because they are loyal animals.

If you compare dogs and wolves, then wolves are unfaithful, although they look like dogs. When we look into the eyes of a wolf (for example, in a zoo), his gaze is intense, suspicious, he has no one he trusts. Although outwardly they are similar to a dog. Dogs are loyal, so they are close to a person. You can learn loyalty from a dog .

Pay attention to the cat. The cat knows what it wants and unerringly chooses what really suits it best. That is why many tend to consider her cold and selfish. But this is not true: a cat is a very sensitive animal, and its attachment to its owner, although not as obvious as that of a dog, makes it a loyal friend, ready to support and calm through gentle touches. She is relaxed all the time. This means that in life you need to learn to accept everything like a cat: to be relaxed and calm. The cat gives us a wonderful lesson on how to maintain a balance between your own interests and the needs of others. The cat is unobtrusive in communication, she carefully doses the signs of her love and decides for herself what to do.

Those who raise bees know how amazing this insect is, they know that the hive should not be placed too far from the flowers. She will simply wear out her wings and die on the road, and therefore the hives are placed closer so that the bees do not fly so far. So that you don’t get too tired, because the bees won’t take care of themselves. They will live until the last for this hive. A bee does not live for itself. You can learn collective thinking from a bee. Looking at the bees, we understand that in a team we need to do everything together.

By watching a spider weave a web, man learned to weave webs.

If a dolphin finds an injured dolphin, it helps it stay afloat. Dolphins teach us not to leave each other in trouble.

Elephants never abandon the elderly. Elephants teach to respect elders.

Some plants and mollusks told people how to make traps: mollusks close their shells, and plants close their valves when food gets into them.

Watching how a chameleon, taking careful aim, shoots its long sticky tongue at its prey, a man came up with a harpoon.

Claws, fangs and beaks - the hunting tools of animals - became an example for the manufacture of arrowheads and spears.

Snakes and scorpions kill their prey with poison - this tells a person how to use a poisoned weapon.

Even such a hunting technique as an ambush was suggested to people by animals. Observe the cat, how patiently she can sit, hiding and watching to see if the sparrows have lost their vigilance. Large cats - panthers, leopards, lynxes and jaguars - also watch for prey.

Wolves were special teachers of people. In their hunt, all roles are strictly distributed: some lie in ambush, others drive the prey. In such a hunt, intelligence is already required. Maybe that’s why ancient people especially revered smart, brave and strong animals: bears, wolves, tigers.

As I finish my speech, I want to talk about 4 more things that animals can teach us:

Feeding and caring for the health of our pet teaches us responsibility.

Animals either love us or they don't. I think animals are capable of love. And they teach us this.

Caring for an animal teaches us patience.

Try throwing a ball to your dog, or play with a rope with your cat and you will understand that pleasure can be derived from little things.

I also realized that we must share difficulties among ourselves, help each other and stick together. Such a law of nature. And we must live by this law.

Conclusion

While working on my project, I learned that man has learned from nature since ancient times. Nature is an inexhaustible source of knowledge and new discoveries. Nature must be loved, protected and very carefully observed and studied. And the main thing is to learn from her all my life, and then many new discoveries await us.

These words of a wonderful Russian writer most accurately emphasize the importance of nature in our lives. It is in the family that a child can receive the first knowledge of how to learn to love and take care of his native nature.

“Many of us admire nature, but not many take it to heart,” wrote M.M. Prishvin, “and even those who take it to heart do not often manage to become so close to nature as to feel their own soul in it.”

We are accustomed to the fact that every day we are surrounded by plants and animals, the sun is shining, spilling its golden rays around us. It seems to us that this was, is and will always be. There will always be a green carpet of grass in the meadows, flowers will bloom, and birds will sing. But this is not true. If we do not learn ourselves and do not teach our children to perceive ourselves as part of the world of living nature, then the future generation will not be able to admire and be proud of the beauty and wealth of our homeland.

From the first years of life, children develop the beginnings of an ecological culture. Watching a mother who carefully cares for flowers and pets, the child has a desire to come up and pet the cat or dog, water the flowers or admire their beauty.

Children grow up and learn a lot about the world around them. Namely, that every plant, animal, insect, bird has its own “home” in which they feel good and comfortable.

Pay attention to the beauty of nature in different times year, day and in any weather. Teach children to hear the singing of birds, inhale the aromas of the meadow, and enjoy the coolness of the spring. Isn’t this the greatest joy in a person’s life? This is the greatest gift that Mother Nature gives us.

In winter, draw children's attention to the beauty of trees. Admire the Russian birch tree, which is covered with frost. Explain clearly to your children that in winter the trees sleep and only we can protect them from the cold. Invite them to do a good deed - cover the roots with snow so that the trees do not “freeze.”

Pay attention to the arrival migratory birds. Explain to the children that birds have a hard time after a long winter and we can help them: build birdhouses and don’t forget to feed them.

The best summer vacation is a trip to the forest. Admire the giant trees and thickets of thick grass. Tell the children that in the forest you can see rare plants that are listed in the Red Book. These are lily of the valley, St. John's wort, corydalis. Under no circumstances should they be torn off. Admire their beauty and breathe in the aroma. Find medicinal plants with your children, name them, explain the benefits.

While picking mushrooms and berries, tell the children that not only we need them, but also the inhabitants of the forest. Animals not only eat some mushrooms, but also treat them. For example, fly agaric. A very beautiful, but poisonous mushroom for humans. And the elk will come and he will need it for treatment. Explain to children that mushrooms need to be cut with a knife and not torn together with the stem. After some time, a new mushroom will grow in this place.

Don't look into birds' nests - these are their homes. The bird may become frightened and leave the nest. Small chicks will be left without maternal care and die.

Don't make noise in the forest. Don’t take tape recorders with you to nature; you can listen to them at home. And you don’t have to talk to each other throughout the whole forest: enjoy your communication with nature. The forest, animals, birds, and even the tiniest flower will be grateful to you for your care and attention.

We and nature are one big family. Teach children to see the beauty of their native nature, cultivate a caring attitude towards it. If a child treats everything that surrounds him with care, your upbringing will not be in vain. They will be attentive not only to the world around them, but also to you, the adults.

"Love for home country impossible without love for its nature"

Message for Educators

“Nature teaches us to understand beauty.
Love for one’s native country is impossible without love for its nature.”
K.G. Paustovsky

These words of a wonderful Russian writer most accurately emphasize the importance of nature in our lives. “Many of us admire nature, but not many take it to heart,” wrote M.M. Prishvin, “and even those who take it to heart do not often manage to become so close to nature as to feel their own soul in it.”

Flowers are blooming, birds are singing. But this is not true. Scientists note with alarm that the animal and flora our planet is becoming poorer, rivers and seas are becoming polluted, and this leads to the death of all life in them. Many species of animals and plants have already disappeared on earth. People started to miss clean water, because rivers and lakes dry up and become polluted due to deforestation chemicals, industrial and household waste.

Each of us must protect the nature of our Motherland for us and our descendants. Nature conservation is everyone’s sacred duty. Have a sacred attitude towards all living things. Take care of every tree, twig, every flower. Do not cut down trees unnecessarily, do not break them. Pick up trash after yourself on river banks and forest clearings. Avoid fires in the forest. Do not pollute forests, lakes and do not allow your friends to do this, do not poison or destroy fish. Don't destroy birds' nests, don't kill animals.If we do not learn ourselves and do not teach our children to perceive ourselves as part of the world of living nature, then the future generation will not be able to admire and be proud of the beauty and wealth of our Motherland.

A child can get his first knowledge of how to learn to love and take care of his native nature in preschool childhood. From the first years of life, children develop the beginnings of an ecological culture. Watching a mother who carefully cares for flowers and pets, the child has a desire to come up and pet the cat or dog, water the flowers or admire their beauty. Children grow up and learn a lot about the world around them. The singing of birds, the murmur of a stream, the splash of water in a river, the rustle of grass, the color, shape and smell of flowers and fruits, the rustling of dry leaves, the creaking of snow underfoot - all this serves as material for the development of children's aesthetic sense and sensory perception. The ability to see and hear nature acquired in childhood arouses in children a deep interest in it, expands their knowledge, and contributes to the formation of character and interest. In the process of introducing children to nature, moral, physical and mental education. IN moral development For a child, a special place is occupied by instilling in him a love for his native nature and a caring attitude towards all living things.

The child should know that every plant, animal, insect, bird has its own “home” in which they feel good and comfortable. It is necessary to pay attention to the beauty of nature at different times of the year, day and in any weather. Teach children to hear the singing of birds, inhale the aromas of the meadow, and enjoy the coolness of the spring. Isn’t this the greatest joy in a person’s life? This is the one

the greatest gift that Mother Nature gives us. In winter, draw children's attention to the beauty of trees. Admire the Russian birch tree, which is covered with frost. Read the poem by S. Yesenin:

Explain clearly to your children that in winter the trees sleep, and only we can protect them from the cold. Invite them to do a good deed - cover the roots with snow so that the trees do not “freeze.”

Watch with your children how it snows. Note its properties (fluffy, white, cold, etc.)

The footprints are clearly visible in the freshly fallen snow. Invite your child to play the game “Pathfinders”. By the tracks in the snow you can determine who passed here, who went where, whose they are (humans, cats, dogs, birds).

In spring, nature wakes up. Rejoice with your children at the appearance of the first grass, the first leaf. Invite your child to play the game “Find the Signs of Spring.” (The sun is shining brighter, the sky is blue, the first flowers have appeared, etc.)

Pay attention to the arrival of migratory birds. Explain to the children that birds have a hard time after a long winter, and we can help them by building birdhouses and remembering to feed them.

The best summer vacation is a trip to the forest. Admire the giant trees and thickets of thick grass. Tell the children that in the forest you can see rare plants that are listed in the Red Book. These are lily of the valley, St. John's wort, corydalis. Under no circumstances should they be torn off. Admire their beauty and breathe in the aroma. Find medicinal plants with your children, name them, explain the benefits. While picking mushrooms and berries, tell the children that not only we need them, but also the inhabitants of the forest. Some mushrooms are not suitable for animals

They only feed, but also receive treatment. For example, fly agaric. A very beautiful, but poisonous mushroom for humans. And the elk will come, and he will need it for treatment. Explain to children that mushrooms need to be cut with a knife and not torn together with the stem. After some time, a new mushroom will grow in this place.

Don't look into birds' nests - these are their homes. The bird may become frightened and leave the nest. Small chicks will be left without maternal care and die.

Of course, everyone understands that one should not destroy nests, anthills or dig holes.

Don't make noise in the forest. Don’t take tape recorders with you to nature; you can listen to them at home. And you don’t have to talk to each other throughout the whole forest: enjoy your communication with nature. The forest, animals, birds, and even the tiniest flower will be grateful to you for your care and attention. Teach children to behave correctly in nature, without harming all living things that surround them.

Don't leave trash at your vacation spots!

Ecological fairy tales help to protect and love nature. Inquisitive kids love to listen to them. They ask many questions, and it is necessary to find answers to them together.

By involving children in close communication with nature, in understanding its world, we, adults, contribute to the active development in children of such qualities as kindness, patience, hard work and mercy. These features inherent in early childhood, will firmly become part of a person’s character and become his basis.

We and nature are one big family. Let us teach children to see the beauty of their native nature, cultivate a caring attitude towards it, and the child will treat everything that surrounds him with care - and our upbringing will not be in vain. And then you can be calm for nature and the younger generation.

I am part of Nature, Man on planet Earth

Love it!
The light of dawn reflected in the leaves of birch trees,
And they shone in him, thrillingly...
I am immensely in love with this Earth, to the point of tears!
I hold everything in my palms, cherishing it!

I caress the trees, kiss the flowers,
I hug, nourishing and warming with Love!
Love your native nature too,
Realizing that all this is God’s Creation!

"LET'S SAVE PLANET EARTH." 2014 Blagoveshchensky Vladimir Kuzmich

A man was laying a new asphalt road. But before he finished, a crowd of children ran along the road, leaving footprints all over the hardening surface. A neighbor who heard him swearing reproached him: “Vasya, I thought you loved children.” “I love them,” he replied. Abstractly, but not concretely.”
It is very easy to love people in the abstract; the real problem grows in the concrete. Until we love human beings - concrete, real human beings - all our love for trees and birds is counterfeit, simply pretended.
If we can love people, only then will a space grow in our consciousness where we can love birds, trees, mountains; but that's after. If we cannot penetrate into a reality that is so close, then how can we penetrate into a reality that is far away? How can we unite with the rock? - we don’t have common language. Either we must become a rock, or the rock must become a human being. Otherwise, this distance is very large and incompatible. Connect it to the person first.

Is it possible to love a tree? If we recognize trees in human beings - only then; We will see birds in human beings - only then, because each of us has already been all this, he still carries the imprints of the Plant Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom in his subconscious. We were once a stone, a tree, a bird, an animal. We have been all of this, and all of this experience is still within us. The only way to connect with the outer tree is to connect with the tree that is inside the human being, i.e. love your entire Nature.
Love yourself! Take risks, be brave. Go deeper into your Essence and you will soon discover that man is not just a human being; man is the human being plus all existence, because the human being is the visible pinnacle of evolution.
Have you sometimes felt in a woman that she was a cat? Have you ever looked into a woman's eyes and felt the cat inside? Without being a cat, no woman can be a woman. And you will find a female there. And the same thing happens to a man - you will find a wolf.
All this exists in man, man evolved through it. It's just like each of us was a child, then became a young man; Do you think your childhood has completely disappeared? You may grow old - has your youth simply disappeared from you? It's here, you've reached another layer. Cut down a tree and you will find layers upon layers in the tree. This is how the age of a tree is determined: if a tree is sixty years old, then it has sixty layers. Every year it changes its bark and a new layer grows.
If you go deep into your being, you will find layers like in a tree. The deeper you go, the more strange things you will find. Each of us is a small world that includes all the Kingdoms of Nature. You will no longer be able to say, “I will love trees and not human beings.” Then your love for trees will be false, you have approached them incorrectly. First they must be loved in human beings, first they must be discovered in human beings. Only then will you love each specific tree, only then will you love each specific person.

How do I feel about Nature? How does this manifest itself?
Do I destroy it with my actions or contribute to its prosperity?


Many will say that they love Nature. But I'm sure people are thinking about something else. Loving Nature and loving being in nature are two different concepts. The first means to create for the benefit of Nature, and the second means to be a consumer of what God has created. Fishing, hunting, picking mushrooms is not yet love for Nature.
Man on Earth has long ago turned into a cancer cell. Consumer psychology is the psychology of a cancer cell. Gobble up, consume, get enough, and after me - even a flood.
People for the most part have stopped creating and creating. And it's sad. Love is creation for good. Love for Nature is creative activity for the benefit of Nature.
But not all human activity is creative. A person can work, apply his knowledge, but at the same time he will destroy the world around him. For example, any production is inherently destructive, no matter what it produces. Because it destroys Mother Nature. So it turns out that there is work and knowledge, but no wisdom, since there is no Love in the actions of people.

Man imagines himself to be the crown of the Universe - the King of Nature. This “king” decided that his “dominant” position gave him the unlimited and unpunished right to control the destinies of his “slaves” - subjects of other kingdoms: plants, animals, elements of nature, etc.
From the history of the development of human civilization, we know well how and why many great kingdoms perished. By creating unbearable living conditions for other peoples with their existence and their ill-considered actions, these kingdoms forced these peoples to unite and ultimately suppress and destroy the tyrant. So why do we think that our planet, a living, intelligent being, will endlessly endure this arrogant, unreasonable creature like man (this “big organ” that destroys the entire organism), committing its atrocities with impunity. If "organ"; does not respond to treatment, then the body will strive to reject this organ, like an atavism. We are already observing the manifestation of the “protective properties” of the sick organism of the planet, but we cannot understand the reason, or we do not want to. However, ignorance of the laws of the Universe does not exempt us from responsibility. So let's study these LAWS and draw the right CONCLUSIONS!!!

© Volkov A.N. - Stages of Existence Man is not the King of Nature, but the Leader of Nature! The Divine Light shines in the mineral and vegetable kingdoms, and there too it has demonstrated its phenomena, although its full radiance is achieved only in man.
In the vegetable kingdom we see how one small plant, fruit or flower spreads its influence around itself, at the proper time covering a certain part of the forest with the same sweet fruit or the same fragrant flowers.
If we look closely at the animal kingdom, we will see that some animals have a special gift. We will see that birds in every flock have a leader. Elephants, especially those that live in the forest, have a wise elephant who always walks ahead of the herd, carefully carrying a tree trunk with its trunk. He uses it as a stick, checking the road he is on to see if there are any traps, he does this both for his own safety and for the safety of his followers. In the jungle, a troop of monkeys usually obeys the command of one monkey: after he jumps, they all jump. Foxes and dogs in the jungle choose from their midst the most watchful one, which gives an alarm before danger approaches. In a flock of birds, one wise and brave bird leads the whole flock. And this happens in many animals and birds. This ability of leadership corresponds to the purposes of manifestation in the evolution of the Kingdoms of Nature.
People, to one degree or another, are spiritual leaders for the lower Kingdoms of Nature.
We find a tendency towards leadership, although to a small extent, among parents who, regardless of how their own life, still want children to benefit from their experience so that children can live correctly.
Guidance in its highest evolutionary manifestation can be seen in those who act as officials of the infinite government and are known to the world as messengers. Among them are holy beings of different levels. They differ from each other in degrees, in accordance with the depth of penetration into the invisible world or in the width of the space they occupy in the Universal Consciousness, as well as in the size of the sphere of humanity that is given to them for guidance.

Dissolve in Love...
And with Love - in the forest -
Become just a drop on a branch,
What's trembling looming!..

Plunge into transparent
And subtle Peace...
To merge in every tree -
With His Silence! Lose your self
Finding in return
Infinite Heart
With Love to everyone!
© Svetlana Kravtsova


Then what kind of activity can be creative for Nature?
The answer to this question is not so simple. More precisely, the answer is simple, but not just follow modern conditions life.
We are all still consumers. We consume electricity, fuel for cars, use household items... And few people are ready to give up all this yet. But they can do something now. And I encourage you to do this.
The first step is to minimize your consumption. For example, give up luxury. This is of no use. Moreover, luxury corrupts and causes envy.
The next thing you can do is not litter and clean up where there is already garbage.
You raised me from childhood,
She gave bread with the songs of the nightingale,
She gave me a lot of roads,
Earth, my star-bearer!

© Andrey Malyshko

We all live in streams of Love. Our Mother Earth is always ready to give us her Love. By consciously attuning to the Love of the Earth, we gain more stability in life (this is very important as we must honor and support the physical body by reaching for the stars). When we consciously and gratefully accept the energy of the Earth, we get “soil under our feet” - we have more vitality, courage, self-confidence.
Accept the Love of the Earth - it will help you let go of old financial problems and will lead to a treasury of abundance.
The earth loves and nourishes us. Eat vegetables grown in the ground - potatoes, onions, root vegetables. Walk barefoot on soft earth, lie on cool grass at night, look at the stars and consciously tune your heartbeat to the rhythm of Mother Earth. Accept the gifts of the Earth with joy and gratitude. Joy and Good Gifting is your gift and your love to the Earth.
Be filled with Love, Joy and Gratitude.

And flowers, and bumblebees, and grass, and ears of corn,
And the azure and the midday heat...
The time will come - the Lord will ask the prodigal son:
“Were you happy in your earthly life?”
And I’ll forget everything - I’ll only remember these
Wildflowers between ears and grasses
And from sweet tears I won’t have time to answer,
I fell to my merciful knees...

Demonic Elemental Spirits of Nature.







Herbalist.

One of the components of transphysical cognition and Consciousness of Unity is the disclosure of sensory perception of Nature, sensation and vision of the Elements of Nature.


How does the feeling of love for the Motherland arise in our soul? It arises in the process of human communication with nature, when we discover its discreet beauty.

These paintings have always attracted the attention of our artists and writers, who knew how to discover “the beauty in the ordinary” and understood the uniqueness of Russian landscapes. One of them was K. Paustovsky. Nature has always been the focus of his attention. He traveled around different countries and put my impressions into best works. One of them is the story “Meshcherskaya Side”. In it, the writer depicts the beauty of Russian nature with its quiet, harmonious nature; a little sad life.

The whole story consists of fifteen short chapters, each of which is a small work.

They are not connected by a common plot, but they have one hero - the narrator. This is a wandering travel lover, passing through the untouched corners and wilds of the most beautiful but wild Russian nature. In the story, the author shows us a new outlook on life: to strive with all our might for harmony with the living, without forgetting about its existence. We see his attempt to resolve and overcome all the contradictions between man and the world around him.

In the story, Paustovsky creates beautiful pictures of a modest, but such attractive nature! And how does he achieve this? The author uses a magical colorful palette, unusual images for comparison and unusual epithets. For example, “lilac bells in the clearings,” and the lake in the story sparkles like “a black, askew mirror,” the tops of the trees are gilded by the sunset with “ancient gilding,” “Venus lights up with blue crystal at dawn.”

But in addition to the variety of colors, the writer draws the reader’s attention to the sound with which he saturates the places of nature he describes. And here the techniques of personification are used. In Paustovsky’s work, the Meshchera region rings and sings in a wide variety of voices, and is noisy.


The silence in Meshchera is also very attractive, when the bell of a lost calf can be heard by a lonely wanderer, even hundreds of meters away...

Also, the author talks about the fact that the Meshchersky region is an area of ​​​​extraordinary aromas of forests and meadows. Hands smell of “smoke and lingonberries,” and the bathhouse smells of “apples, cleanly washed floors,” the orchard smells not only of apples, but also of “rain.” The moment the narrator sails away on the boat into the foggy morning, all this is left behind. What lies ahead for the traveler? “A deserted September day,” “lostness in this garden world... foliage, grass, autumn withering, calm waters, clouds, low sky.”

Gradually, the face of the narrator appears more clearly in the work. We understand that he is a good-natured person who understands all living things around him and loves nature. He is interested not only in people, but also in the events that happen to them. The writer surrounds him with many different characters: shepherds, ferrymen, watchmen and foresters. They are all the most ordinary, simple people, but each of them has some interesting, bright, memorable feature. The author describes in a very interesting way the image of the basket-maker grandfather, whose name is Stepan, but many simply call him “Beard on Poles.” The grandfather sheltered a girl who got lost in the forest and he told the traveler the story of past events in the Meshchera region. The region is rich talented people! For example, the village of Solotcha is the patrimony of the engraver Pozhalostin, and such famous artists, like Arkhipov and Malyavin and the sculptor Golubkin. Here the traveler met Yesenin’s aunt.

The event plan of the work is presented by the story of the trip to Poganoe Lake and the situation with the unlucky Moscow fisherman. In the first story, the travelers almost lost their friend, the writer Gaidar. He went alone to look for a lake with a strange name - Poganoe. However, he was soon found. The traveler went to look for Gaidar. Who had a compass. Telling the reader about an unlucky Muscovite, an amateur fisherman, the author adds a touch of humor to the story. The comical image of the hero is given to the reader by a person who is completely unsuited to life in the forest. And for outdoor recreation, too... Clumsy and clumsy, he deprives his comrades of breakfast by accidentally stepping on a cooked scrambled egg, and then also knocking over a jug filled with milk. The fish don't bite him. When he manages to catch it, the pike hits the would-be fisherman with its tail.

So, in the story Paustovsky recreates a unique, pure world of nature, untouched by man, pristine. He talks about how wonderful this simple land is.


Thus, communication with nature determines the spiritual integrity of a person and gives rise to a feeling of Motherland in our soul.
