СЕРИЯ УРОКОВ ДОМАШНЕГО ЧТЕНИЯ В 10 КЛАССЕ (В. ШЕКСПИР «ВЕНЕЦИАНСКИЙ КУПЕЦ») В развитии ключевых компетенций на уроках домашнего чтения в 10 классе очень важна работа с текстом. Работая над чтением текста на английском языке, учащиеся увеличивают свой лексический запас, пополняют знания по страноведению, лучше осваивают грамматику, учатся обсуждать материал в соответствии с языковыми нормами, писать эссе, делать сообщение монологического характера по заданной теме, общаться друг с другом. Я провожу уроки контроля домашнего чтения 1-2 раза в четверть, в основном в конце четверти. Каждая часть комедии (их 6) обсуждается на 2 уроках: первый посвящен отработке лексического материала, контролю понимания содержания текста. На втором уроке проводится обсуждение проблем комедии, звучат монологи и диалоги. Хотелось бы поделиться опытом работы по организации уроков домашнего чтения в 10 классе на примере комедии В.
