Интеллектуальный Марафон. Задания по английскому языку для 10-11 классов.

Работая учителем английского языка в НОУ «Частная школа «Дипломат», я получила опыт организации и подготовки заданий к «Интеллектуальному Марафону», создателем которого является Меерсон Семен Иосифович.

Марафон проходит два раза в год, осенью и весной. Это захватывающее событие, как для учеников, так и для учителей. В день проведения марафона отменяются уроки, но это не значит, что ребята не учатся. Мероприятие начинается в 10 часов, после тщательной подготовки всех материалов и аудиторий. Каждый класс размещается в отдельной аудитории и по команде начинает «забег». Марафонцы выполняют интеллектуальные задания практически по всем предметам, и на решение каждого отводится 20 минут. Впоследствии, все задания проверяются учителями предметниками и отбираются участники прошедшие во 2 тур по разным предметам. Во 2 тур выходят учащиеся, набравшие более 50% по предмету, и по такому же принципу выполняют еще более сложные задания. Среди них уже выявляются настоящие победители.

Хочется поделиться самими заданиями «Интеллектуального Марафоны». Это не олимпиадные задания, которые рассчитаны только на сильных учеников.

Задания 1 тура делятся на 3 раздела: А – базовый уровень, В – повышенный уровень, С – высокий уровень, где даются письменные творческие задания.

Задания 2 тура состоять из 2 разделов: В – повышенный уровень и С – высокий уровень.

Учитель старается сделать каждое задание марафона хотя бы немного интеллектуальным, где ученику требуется применить языковую догадку, смекалку и сообразительность. И не обязательно отличник выиграет в таком соревновании! Это повышает мотивацию каждого учащегося.

Ниже приведены задания для 10 и 11 классов на 1 и 2 тур марафона, а также ответы к ним.
