Blagoveshchensk: Russia’s anchor on the Amur River | Russia Beyond The Headlines

Летний Благовещенск. Фото автора публикации.

     На уроках и во время внеклассной работы каждый учитель уделяет большое внимание воспитанию гражданственности и патриотизма. Особой любовью учителей и учащихся пользуются уроки на тему "Родной город". Долгие годы учителя иностранного языка испытывали большие трудности, так как не было соответствующих методических пособий по краеведению. Выпускники обменных программ обратили на это внимание общественности во время конференций, семинаров и открытых мероприятий.

           Я проводила уроки-экскурсии по Благовещенску в летней школе английского языка, ежегодные викторины и конкурсы, в том числе межкультурные. Ребята делали презентации, писали письма, сочиняли стихи о родном городе. Во время работы над проектами выпускались информационные листки, листовки и брошюры.

   Сегодня без труда можно найти информацию о Благовещенске в средствах массовой информации. Ниже по ссылке можно перейти к одной из последних публикаций о Благовещенске.
