Introduction by the teacher.
Today in the lesson we will talk about the interesting and difficult tale of the great storyteller Hans Christian Andersen "The Nightingale". During the lesson, we will try to understand what is the meaning of this fairy tale, what it can teach us.
- Did you like this story?
- What do you think it is about?
(Students cannot yet accurately answer the question, so they should return to it at the end of the discussion)
III. Analysis of the fairy tale "The Nightingale".The main technique used in the lesson is "reading with stops": repeated slow movement through the text, accompanied by a problematic conversation and commenting on individual details.
1. Read the description of the palace of the Chinese emperor. What do you think, is it convenient, is it good to live in a palace made of the most precious porcelain, so fragile, “that it was scary to touch it”?
- Why were bells tied to the "most wonderful flowers" in the emperor's garden?
(To once again admire the beauty of flowers, the ringing of silver, the radiance of porcelain, in a word, the external splendor, the splendor of the imperial house)
“Why didn’t the emperor know anything about the nightingale?” Why didn't the courtiers hear anything about him?
2. Read carefully the fragment in which the author talks about the place where the nightingale lived.
Why does he live "in the dense forest that begins behind the garden"?
Don't you think that the nightingale and the inhabitants of the palace live in some different worlds? Describe these worlds: what does the nightingale hear and see every day, and what do the courtiers and the emperor see?
What's so funny about the scene of the search for the nightingale by the courtiers? Don't you feel a little sorry for them?
4. With what is the first minister trying to compare the singing of the nightingale? Why is his comparison ridiculous?
5. Why did the nightingale agree to fly to the emperor’s palace, despite the fact that his songs are “much better to listen to in a green forest”?
6. How did the emperor perceive the singing of the nightingale? Reread this scene.
Why did the nightingale refuse the reward - the golden shoe around his neck? Find the answer in the text of the fairy tale.
7. Find in the text the answer to the question: how did the courtiers try to imitate the nightingale? What, in your opinion, is the absurdity of the glory of the nightingale in the city?
Tell us about what happened during the competition between the two nightingales. Where did the real nightingale go?
8. Find in the text the answer to the question: what does the “court supplier of nightingales” see as the advantages of an artificial nightingale? Why does the writer depict him in such detail, and why is the portrait of a natural nightingale so short?
9. Read what the poor fishermen said about the artificial nightingale. What did the courtiers especially like about the artificial nightingale?
10. Retell the episode "Illness of the Emperor" (work with an illustration by the artist E. Narbut).
Why was the emperor left alone during his illness? Why was the emperor so scared?
(It was not death that was terrible, but life, revealed on the Day of Judgment as a scroll of good and evil deeds)
How did the nightingale manage to save the emperor? What did the nightingale sing about? What does he ask the emperor, what promises him?
(The cemetery in the song of the nightingale evokes not fear, but a feeling of humility, it is full of beauty - special, but not cold, like the imperial palace. Salvation is that the nightingale awakened "good feelings" in both death and the emperor, who had good affairs, because he cried when he first listened to the nightingale)
11. What does the nightingale sing about and will it always sing about? Reread this snippet.
IV. How would you now answer what this tale is about?
(Students conclude that the world of the nightingale (nature) and the world of the imperial palace are two completely different worlds. The "mechanism" (the creation of human hands) is opposed in Andersen's fairy tale to nature, its living voice - the voice of the nightingale. The voice of nature would never have reached the limits of the palace (of another world), if not for the nightingale and his songs.
What heroes of Andersen's fairy tale can we attribute to the world of nature and to the world of the palace? Let's call them.
V. Conclusions. The nightingale sang and will sing to the emperor about that real, living life that cannot be seen from the walls of the palace and that no flowers with crystal bells and magnificent gardens can replace.
The nightingale is the image of a free singer, an allegorical image of art that speaks the language of nature itself about everything in the world; only it is able to defeat death and even those evil forces that live in the soul of the person himself; art makes a person better, purer, more beautiful.
Justification and grading.
VI. Homework.
Compose a letter from the Chinese emperor to the Japanese after his recovery or a letter to Andersen about a fairy tale you read (optional).

Review of the fairy tale "Nightingale"
I really like this tale. It tells about the triumph of a real nightingale, whose singing has always been different, over a mechanical toy that could only sing one tune, and which could break. The emperor of China realized his mistake, he could experience sincere feelings, and therefore the nightingale forgave him and helped him when he fell ill. This is a very beautiful fairy tale.
Proverbs to the fairy tale "Nightingale"
The nightingale is small, but the voice is great.
Small spool but precious
A domestic calf is better than an overseas cow.
Summary, brief retelling of the fairy tale "Nightingale"
In distant China, near the imperial palace, there was a wonderful garden in which magic bells grew. The garden was very large and even the gardener did not know where it ended. And behind the garden in the forest lived a nightingale. And all the foreigners who came to the garden marveled at the beauty of the nightingale's voice.
They returned home and wrote books about China, in which they said that the best thing there is a nightingale.
Once the emperor read a book and was surprised, because he had never heard of a nightingale. He ordered the minister to bring him a nightingale to listen to him sing.
The minister and courtiers ran around the whole palace, but no one heard about the nightingale. And only the little girl in the kitchen said she knew where the nightingale lived.
She led the courtiers into the forest, and they mistook the lowing of cows and the croaking of frogs for nightingale singing. But then they heard the nightingale singing and were amazed. They invited the nightingale to the palace to sing to the emperor, and the nightingale agreed.
He sang to the emperor and he was amazed, he even cried, and the nightingale said that these tears were the best reward for him.
The nightingale began to live in the palace and the courtiers made sure that he did not fly away. And all the people fell in love with the nightingale.
But once an artificial nightingale was brought from Japan, which sang only one song. The real nightingale flew away, but no one was saddened by this. Everyone in the palace fell in love with the artificial nightingale.
But soon the artificial nightingale broke down. The watchmaker repaired it, but now the nightingale was allowed to start only once a year.
5 years passed and the emperor fell ill. Everyone thought that he was dead, and he just lay cold and sick on his bed.
The emperor saw death and his deeds - evil and good. He begged the artificial nightingale to sing to him, but he had to be turned on. And then a real nightingale flew in. He sang his song and death receded. The nightingale promised that he would fly to the emperor and sing his songs to him, because he saw tears in the eyes of the emperor.
And the emperor recovered and greeted the stunned courtiers.

Findings.
It was not death that was terrible, but life without good deeds. The world of the living nightingale and nature is a real living soul, and the world of the imperial palace and the artificial “mechanism” (the creation of human hands) are all unreal, spiritless. Man himself turns into an indifferent and soulless "mechanism". The cemetery in the song of the nightingale calls on
E fear and horror, but a feeling of humility and humility. Salvation lies in the fact that the nightingale awakened kindness of soul and all the good qualities in the emperor and those who wept listening to his wonderful singing. If a real nightingale did not sing its songs, then people would not know about real, living life. Evil forces will always be defeated by the beautiful and pure soul of a person. The nightingale promises the emperor to sing about the happy and the unfortunate, about good and evil, because you need to know everything about real life in order to help the unfortunate, to do good to those who need it. Here is the story read. What moral lessons have you learned today while working on the meaning of the content of the fairy tale? Let's make a cinquain.

compassionate, kind
Help, protect, sympathize
True art has triumphed
People repent of their delusions.

Teacher's conclusion:
Yes, guys, reading the fairy tale "The Nightingale" makes us think about our actions and deeds. The theme of the life-giving power of real human feelings, opposing dead spirituality, worried many writers, but no one solved it as brilliantly as Hans Christian Andersen, and most importantly, with such simple means: on the space of several pages. This is a literary miracle, and the Danish magician has many such miracles ... I suggest you re-read the tale together and reflect.
3. Analysis of the text of the fairy tale "The Nightingale" (heuristic conversation)
- "In the whole world there would be no palace better than the imperial one."
Why do you think this tale begins with a description of the extraordinary imperial palace? Why was the palace "fragile" and made of "precious porcelain"?
- "The garden stretched far - far, so far that the gardener himself did not know where it ends."
Describing the garden and the dense forest, Andersen seems to deliberately make the reader compare and contrast them with the porcelain palace. For what?
What feelings does the phrase “Lord, how good!”
- "Nightingale? And I don't even know him!" “It is considered the main attraction of my great state!”
Give your opinion on why it is so important that the emperor did not know about the bird that surprised everyone with its singing?
How does the storyteller characterize the emperor?
Phrase from text
Why does everyone know about the nightingale - a poor fisherman, travelers, a girl, except for the emperor and their subjects?
How do the courtiers explain their ignorance? Why are they not ready to take the lowing of a cow or the croaking of a frog for the singing of a nightingale?
Let us turn to the text in order to find the lines that characterize the nightingale.
Phrase from text
Conclusion: the living nightingale became the property of the emperor and sang only for him. The bird was limited in freedom and ordinary people felt sorry for her very much.
The emperor receives a mechanical nightingale as a gift. Why did he make a choice in his favor? Let's compare two birds, shall we? What is the difference between them? Let's compare.
living nightingale
How do you understand the bandmaster's words that the artificial nightingale is "higher than the real one not only in dress and diamonds, but also in its inner merits."
There are many sounds in the story. What did it sound like?
D:
W:

D: Yes, he was evil - he became good.
W:

W:
D: No, it's the same.
Conclusion: the inner dignity of a person is his inner world, his spiritual qualities, talent. Real people can do good deeds, cry while listening to beautiful music and the singing of a nightingale. Sincere feelings awaken when a person strives to become better and help loved ones. Unfortunately, feelings are false, fake. Before us are two nightingales: real and artificial. One was created by nature, therefore it is unusual and adorns people's lives with its songs. The other is a toy, skillfully created by a talented craftsman and also designed to decorate a person's life.
The emperor had a test: he fell ill and found himself alone. Why did everyone turn away from him, except for the nightingale?
Let's turn to the text. The storyteller introduces a sad motif into the story. "... there was dead silence in the palace." The emperor lay alone and "completely motionless and deathly pale." Death was on his chest. Why do you think the emperor shouted: “Music here, music!”? How could music help him?
The gaze of the dying emperor was not only Death, who else?
“From the folds ... some strange faces looked out: some are ugly and vile, others are kind and sweet. Those were the evil and good deeds of the emperor.” Explain how you understand these words?
The emperor asks for help, but "The room was quiet - quiet." There is no one to have an artificial nightingale. The courtiers left the master to die.
Conclusion: the emperor did many evil deeds. He was not liked because he often punished the servants.
When Death came to him, she took away the crown, the golden saber, the rich banner, and the emperor had to remember what kind of ruler he was. He was frightened, because kindness and concern for others was incomprehensible to him, he thought only about his greatness.
Why did the nightingale fly to the emperor when he found out about his illness? Could the emperor himself console and encourage another?
Let's read the dialogue between the emperor and the nightingale (p. 235).
What reward does the emperor offer the nightingale, and why does he refuse?
How do you understand the words “Tears are the most precious reward for the heart of a singer.”
Why does the nightingale call himself a "singer"?
Conclusion: the nightingale saved the emperor. "... Wake up healthy and vigorous!" He turned out to be a real not only singer, but also possessing deep spiritual qualities. Compassion, care, help to the lonely and sick - this is what should be in each of us. No need to accumulate resentment and be vengeful, to destroy your soul with "nasty and vile" deeds.
The emperor offers the nightingale to live again in the palace, but already free. "You must stay with me forever! You will sing only when you want to!”
Why does the nightingale refuse, because no one dared to refuse the emperor?
Let's reread the last page of the tale (p. 236).
What are the main words here and what are they about?
“I will sing to you about the happy and the unfortunate, about good and evil…”. "I love you more for your heart than for your crown."
Who awakened spiritual qualities in the emperor? Why did the nightingale not want others to know about him? "Things will go better this way!"
Conclusion: the nightingale understood that the courtiers would not be able to understand the emperor, because they were used to flattering, did not know how to appreciate true art, and did not have high moral qualities. He was left by them to die alone without any kind participation on their part.
- " Hello!" - so ends the fairy tale of the great Andersen. Do you think there will be changes in the reign of the Chinese emperor?
Conclusion: in order to change, become morally purer and kinder, sometimes you need to go through difficult trials. It depends on the person himself what kind of heart he will have. The nightingale and the emperor became friends because another soul was hiding behind the arrogance and importance of the ruler. “My song will make you happy and make you think.”
What will the emperor have to think about?
What is the strength of a small nondescript bird, which ensured victory over death?
What lesson did the nightingale teach the emperor?
5. Conclusion: the moral lessons of the fairy tale that we learn are
Proximity with nature;
Attention to others;
Having your own opinion;
Respect for spiritual qualities, and not external appearance;
Understanding true art;
Caring for others.
6. Reflection.- What was the most important thing in the lesson? What is the purpose of the lesson? Are you satisfied with your work? What moral lessons can be learned?

W: What, in your opinion, is the magical power of the singing of a living nightingale?
D: That he conquered death with his singing.
W: Has the character of the emperor changed?
D: Yes, he was evil - he became good.

W: And when there were no musical instruments yet, how did music appear, where did it come from?
D: From nature (the murmur of a stream, the rustle of leaves, the breath of a breeze, the singing of birds ...)
W: Can the sound of a mechanical nightingale replace a live one?
D: no, it's the same.
