Використання віршів у вивченні граматичних форм на уроках англійської мови

При вивченні англійської мови дуже важливо аби зацікавити учнів у вивченні тієї або іншої теми. Для вирішення цього питання існує багато способів – ігри, римівки, пісні тощо. Та якщо зацікавити учнів у вивченні лексичних одиниць не так і складно, то граматику учні вивчають з набагато меншим інтересом. Аби зарадити цьому, пропоную при вивченні граматики використовувати вірші. Це вносить цікавинку та збільшує інтерес до вивчення правил.

Ось декілька варіантів віршів, які можна використовувати при вивченні англійської граматики. Матеріал взято з навчально-методичного посібника Свиридюк Т. В., Петрук С.П. «Вірші, ребуси, кросворди ( англійська мова)» .

Number of nouns

Many windows, many floors

Many people, many stores

Many streets and many hangings

Many whistles, many clanging

Many, many, many, many

Many of everything, many of any.

Possessive Case

Monday’s child is fair of face

Tuesday’s child is full of grace

And the child that is born on the Sabbath day

Is bornny and blithe, and good and gay.

Degrees of comparison

The oftener seen, the more I lust

The more I lust, the more I smart

The more I smart, the more I trust

The more I trust, the heavier heart

The heavy heart breeds mind unrest

The rearer seen, the less in mind

The less in mind, the lesser pain

The lesser pain, less grief I find

The lesser grief, the greater gain

The greater gain, the merrier I

Therefore I wish thy sight to fly

The further off, the more I joy

The more I joy, the happier life

The happier life, less hurts annoy

The lesser hurts, pleasure most rife

Such pleasure rife shall I obtain

When distance doth depart us twain.

Was but a book. What liberty

A loosened spirit brings!
