History of the ancient world lesson 1 introduction. Introduction to the history of the ancient world

1. History is our common memory. We all remember what happened a year ago, last week or yesterday. Everyone has their own memory. It’s scary to even imagine what will happen if we forget our past! We will become completely helpless and die. After all, our knowledge and experience are stored in memory. There is a special memory. It belongs not to an individual, but to all people together. You probably know that our country was at war with Hitler's Germany. But you were born much later. How do you know about this? From the history. History is the memory of all humanity about its past.

2. What does history study? Imagine that the fossilized bones of an ancient beast that lived on earth fifty thousand years ago have been found - a mammoth. Will historians be interested in this find? No. After all, nothing can be learned about the life of ancient people from these bones. However, if the bones of a mammoth are found near the ashes of an ancient fire, if they are broken and burnt, then the beast became the prey of primitive hunters. And this is important for scientists - historians. After all, such a find tells about the past of humanity. Remember: history does not study all antiquity, not all past, but only what is connected with people. Historians study the times in which people lived on Earth, from three million years ago to yesterday.

3. Why is history needed? Ignorant people sometimes ask: “What is the use of history? Who needs it? Various sciences and technology bring a lot of benefits to people, create new things, machines. But historians waste time studying long-forgotten times. Why?” This is not true. Nobody argues: it is impossible to live without various sciences and technology. But thousands of years ago, our wise ancestors understood: we cannot forget the past, we must pass on experience and knowledge to our descendants. This is what history does. It shows you what mistakes were made in the past and teaches you not to repeat them in the future. Remember: history teaches you to reason correctly, intelligently and understand everything that is happening in the world. A person who knows history loves his homeland and treats people with respect. Remember: history educates worthy people, creators of a better life and its defenders. Historians have nothing against people who believe in God. However, they cannot agree with religious fictions when knowledge about past centuries is distorted. Remember: historical knowledge eliminates misconceptions without offending erring people. History opens up the wonderful world of art, teaches us to understand the beauty of ancient vases, paintings and sculptures.

4. History fights for truth and justice. In some countries, extremely cruel people seized power. They executed and imprisoned those who fought against their cruel rule. Historians aroused particular anger among such rulers. Scientists were arrested, their students were persecuted, and books were burned at the stake. From what? The fact is that such rulers need very obedient workers, teachers, and soldiers. The rulers dream that people, like mechanical robots, would obediently carry out any orders and believe any lie. But a real historian speaks the truth. He answers questions honestly and hates deception. Remember: history does not stand aside from life. She teaches people how to achieve justice. By studying the past, people learn to understand the present and improve the future.

1. About your accessories. A worker in a factory, a peasant in the field, an engineer in a laboratory, and an astronaut on a starship use different tools and instruments. Your work is learning. Here, too, you cannot do without the necessary tools. On the table there should be only what is needed in a history lesson and nothing extra: - a textbook and a workbook on history, - a pen and pencils of different colors, - a diary - a textbook - an anthology (if necessary) - outline maps...

1. About your accessories. For a young historian, it is very important that the notebook is in complete order. It must be wrapped and labeled as the teacher says. Start working in your notebook from the date. Don't forget about margins. Do not make any unnecessary drawings or extraneous notes. At the end of the notebook you can leave 1-2 pages for a dictionary of unfamiliar words and notes. Never tear out sheets of paper from your notebook! For this, a diligent student has a draft. Remember: history, like any knowledge, does not tolerate sloppiness.

2. Save time. When getting ready for school, check if everything is in place and if you have forgotten anything. After all, if you ask each other for a forgotten thing in class, there will be noise and precious time will be lost. Every minute must be cherished. Be sure to answer with a diary and notebook. Without the teacher’s permission, do not suggest or supplement your friend’s answer. There is no need to disturb anyone with an unsolicited hint. Learn to listen to others and speak. Your answer must be clear. If you are standing near a map or table, stand with your right side facing it. When showing something with a pointer, hold it in your right hand so that your back does not obscure what you are showing. Remember: the teacher uses every minute you save to tell and show something interesting.

3. About clear and correct speech. Schoolchildren often complain: I know about this, but I don’t know how to tell it. Very bad! You need to structure your speech in such a way that the story is not only error-free, but also fascinating, so that they listen to you with interest. A long time ago, people realized how important it is to speak correctly, and even created a whole science of making speeches. Are there any rules of speech for a young historian? It's no secret, here they are: -Speak simply and clearly. If you learn a new word somewhere but don't understand what it means, ask your teacher. Don't use words without knowing their meaning. -Keep it brief. Don't clutter your message with unnecessary words that make it difficult to understand. Emphasize with intonation the most important thing that listeners should pay attention to. -Speak coherently. Every sentence in your speech should relate to what you said before and what you will say next. Don't jump from one question to another, don't rush. But don’t delay your answer. -Tell me exactly. Always call people by their names, cities by their names. Try not to use the words he and that instead, to avoid confusion.

4. Rules of reasoning. Once you have set a goal and started working, stay focused and see it through to completion. First, memorize everything you read in books or hear in class. Write down the most important things, collect illustrations and, with the teacher’s permission, place them in your notebooks. Constantly seek and accumulate new knowledge. Secondly, draw conclusions. A young historian should have his own opinion about everything he has learned. Third, don't keep your findings secret. Discuss them with your friends, talk about your thoughts. Argue with someone who you think is wrong. After all, the old proverb says that in disputes the truth is born. Just be polite even in the most heated disputes and do not offend your interlocutor!

1. Flip through the textbook and see what sections and stories it consists of. Notice how each story is divided into parts. 2. How is this textbook different from other textbooks you use at school and at home? How is he similar to them? 5. Questions and tasks.

2. Oral history in primitive times. But primitive people did not know how to write. The history of our ancestors could only be explained to young people orally. The children of ancient hunters memorized long songs, learned to dance, and looked at drawings on the walls of caves. Primitive people believed that the gods created the Earth, that the gods populated the land with animals and the waters with fish. And then people allegedly evolved from animals, fish and birds. In hunting dances, young men imitated the habits of animals, which they considered their ancestors. In songs they sang about the ancient exploits of heroes, hunters and warriors, about glorious leaders. These were interesting and fascinating stories. Some of the ancient tales and legends have survived to this day and are very dear to modern people. Over time, oral histories were forgotten and distorted. True memories gave way to fiction about gods and monsters. Therefore, remember: primitive legends cannot be called real historical knowledge.

3. History recorded in ancient times. Millennia have passed. Letters were invented and writing appeared. The most important events began to be written down so that they would not be forgotten. Peoples began to better remember their own past. The ancient Greek writer Herodotus is called the father of historical science. He lived 2500 years ago, traveled to almost all the countries known to him, described their nature and people. Herodotus called his work: History. Then other books about the past appeared. They began to be collected and entire libraries were formed. In the city of Alexandria, for example, there was a repository with tens of thousands of works. Herodotus. Not everyone in ancient times could learn to read and write. For women this was considered optional. The children of poor peasants did not study. After all, studying required money to pay teachers and free time for classes. And the children of ordinary workers helped their parents in their work from morning to evening. Only rich and educated people wrote and read historical works.

4. Historical knowledge in new times. The situation changed when people learned to print books in thousands of pieces on machines. Books became much cheaper, and not very rich people started buying them. The first serious historical works in our country, published in printed form, were the works of M.V. Lomonosov. M.V. Lomonosov Many centuries later, railways, steamships, and power plants were invented. Only competent and educated people can operate complex equipment. Therefore, schools, institutes and universities arose in different countries. There they studied not only technology, mathematics, chemistry, but also history, literature, and art. Scientists made important discoveries and wrote great historical works. The governments of various states spared no expense in studying the past; they understood how necessary history is. At this time, such outstanding historians as N.M. lived and worked in Russia. Karamzin, V.O. Klyuchevsky, S.M. Soloviev N.M. Karamzin, V.O. Klyuchevsky, S.M. Soloviev and many others.

5. Studying history in our country after 1917. Unfortunately, the fate of science in our country has been difficult. In October 1917, the Bolshevik Party came to power. It was headed by V.I. Lenin. The war has begun. The homeland suffered famine and devastation. Many historians, fearing for their lives, went abroad. Then I.V. Stalin found himself at the head of the Bolshevik Party and our state. He believed that he could handle science as he pleased. Stalin gave historians instructions and instructions on how they should work. Most often this led to misconceptions and mistakes. And those who dared to object and defend the truth were punished and sent to prison. Lenin and Stalin. Vintage poster Lenin and Stalin. Vintage poster

5. Studying history in our country after 1917. Any book written by a historian had to praise the wisdom of the party and its leaders - Lenin and Stalin. Soviet historical science was going through the most difficult years. The Great Patriotic War () dealt a heavy blow to historical knowledge. Professors, students, teachers left what they loved and defended their Motherland with arms in hand. Many died heroically in battle. In 1956, after Stalin's death, his affairs were condemned. Scientists gained freedom and returned to their favorite work. But for another thirty years historical knowledge could not develop to its full potential. Scientists were not allowed to work on many very important questions. Thousands of documents were inaccessible to scientists. Of course, even at this time historians worked tirelessly, but they did ten times less than they could have done. Cover of a textbook published in 1959

In our Motherland was divided into parts. The country was made backward and poor. Factories stopped. The fields are empty. The army weakened and became smaller. Schools and science have fallen into complete decline, including the study of history. As you can see, those of you who want to become historians will choose a very interesting, but also difficult profession. Before you is a lot of work. Perhaps you can restore the mighty Fatherland to its former borders and return it to its former greatness. Perhaps you will become the founders of a new domestic science, science of the 21st century, including history! Vintage poster

The work of a historian is very exciting and challenging. He not only restores the past, but also tells others about the past. It all starts with studying documents and restoring things created by our ancestors. Just as a mighty river merges from the waters of thousands of springs and springs, so our knowledge of the past merges knowledge from thousands of historical sources. Remember: a historical source is everything that was created by our ancestors and that can tell about their lives. An ancient sword found in the ground, an ancient manuscript, an old coin, a documentary film - all these are historical sources. Historians study them and seem to be transported into the past. Scholars have divided historical sources into groups: 1. What are historical sources?

Historical sources Archaeological - these are things that were discovered under water, earth; Written - chronicles, letters, documents, books. Oral - stories, proverbs, outdated words Visual - these are drawings, maps, photographs, slides, films and videos. Sound recordings - gramophone records, tape recordings,

Some of these sources appeared a long time ago. Others, such as films and videos, are more recent. Some are created using technology, others are created by hand. But everyone preserves the memory of the past. Determine what historical sources these images refer to? Codex. Rock art, ancient utensils and weapons

2. Museums and archives. There are large museums in the capitals of different states. There are many of them in Moscow. Each region has a regional museum of local lore. In ancient times, the word “museum” meant a place where the goddesses of art, the muses, supposedly lived. The best paintings and decorations, statues and vases were collected there. Later, museums began to store various antiques. The most famous museum in our country is the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. The French Louvre Museum is world famous. Remember: museums are places where historical sources are stored, shown to everyone, and studied. There are literary museums where the memory of some famous writer or poet is preserved, for example, A.S. Pushkin. In the museum of technology you can see machines, machines, instruments and cars. The weapons museum contains weapons from different countries and peoples. All things stored in museum halls are very valuable for scientists. In the hall of one of the local history museums of our country.

2. Museums and archives. Museum items are called exhibits. Exhibits need careful care. If something begins to collapse, museum workers restore it. This type of work is called restoration. Written documents should also be stored in special rooms - archives. They maintain the same temperature and humidity. Archives workers monitor the safety of written sources and take care of them so that ancient manuscripts and books do not deteriorate. Exhibition at the Louvre Museum exhibits

3. Personal collections. Many children set up “home museums”, collecting collections of old coins, books, envelopes or other things. Collecting is a very useful thing, but it also has its own rules: 1. First, decide what exactly you will collect. Don't try to collect all the old things in a row, otherwise you'll just get confused. 2. Collections are valued not by quantity, but by the quality of what is collected. Sometimes one rare item is worth hundreds of ordinary ones. 3. The collection enriches not the owner’s wallet, but the mind. A true collector, having obtained a rare item, will definitely find out everything about it and tell others. A collector is a true expert; he can help anyone who seeks advice.

4. Questions and tasks. 1. What is a historical source? What sources do you know? 2. Tell us about the work of museums and archives. Visit the regional museum of local lore and prepare a story about what you saw. 3. Why are school museums created? Is there a museum at your school? If the museum has not yet been created, what would you like it to be like? 4. Why are personal collections collected?

1. Archeology Archeology is the study of fossil antiquities. Humanity has lived on Earth for about three million years. But writing has only been used for five thousand years. Therefore, nothing can be learned about the most ancient times from written sources. Only the study of archaeological sources can help here. The word archeology is made up of two Greek words: arche and logos. (Use the dictionary at the end of the textbook or the “Reference Dictionary of World History for Schoolchildren” to find out what they mean.) Remember: archeology is the name given to historical knowledge about traces of human life found underground and underwater. For a very long time, people have noticed that strange stone points, rusty knives, and beads are sometimes found in the ground. The finds were explained simply: they said that by God’s will these things fell out of thunderclouds. In fact, of course, these objects were made by the hands of our ancestors. But how did ancient things get under the soil? How did you end up at the bottom of the sea?

1. Archeology Archaeological sites. Sometimes poorly educated people believe that archaeologists are interested in gold and jewelry. Completely false! The scientific value of a thing is not measured by what it is made of - silver or clay. The main thing is that it can tell more about its ancient creators and owners. Often for an archaeologist, a shard of a clay jug is more valuable than gold bars. Archaeologists seek knowledge, not wealth. Scientists explore the ruins of cities and fortresses, villages and individual houses, look for the remains of temples, towers, study graves, caves, artisans' workshops, mines and mines, canals and roads, treasures. All of these are archaeological sources, or archaeological monuments of the past. Archaeological monuments in our country have not been studied before, but were destroyed and robbed. For example, Siberians tore open ancient graves - mounds - to extract jewelry, melt it down and sell it. Everything else was considered unnecessary trash, mercilessly broken and thrown away. By order of Emperor Peter the Great, the destruction and plunder of ancient monuments was stopped. The first scientific excavations began.

1. Archeology Archaeological monuments in any cultural society are national wealth. They are protected by law. Remember: damage to archaeological monuments is punishable as a serious crime. Unauthorized excavations and appropriation of found items are strictly prohibited. Only those who have been issued permits can conduct exploration and excavation. Archaeological finds. What do you think is shown here? Archaeological finds. What do you think is shown here?

Rules for exploration and excavation. 1. Archeology To find out where to excavate, you must first conduct reconnaissance and find archaeological sites. Careful and experienced archaeologists go on hikes along rivers and lakes, observing and talking with local residents. When archaeological sites are discovered, a map is drawn up - a plan for future excavations. A reconnaissance archaeologist must be resilient and skillful, have excellent knowledge of a compass, camera, and map. Pilots sometimes help archaeologists. Aerial photography is often taken from high altitudes. The photographs show dark stripes where ancient destroyed walls, canals or roads were located. But nothing can be seen from the surface of the earth! Using aerial photographs, divers search for sunken ships and settlements at the bottom of seas and lakes. Excavations are carried out carefully, the earth is removed with shovels, trying to dig in thin layers - no more than 5 centimeters. When the first finds appear, archaeologists take special knives and brushes and carefully clear things away. Their work is very neat and precise. Everything found is immediately carefully packed. Sometimes they even sift the earth so that not a single small find is lost.

2. Ethnography. In order to better know the past, historians turn to various branches of knowledge - “helpers”. One such field is ethnography. (Use the dictionary at the end of the textbook to translate this word.) Remember: ethnography describes the life, way of life and customs of different peoples. Scientists go on expeditions and record folk songs, fairy tales, and proverbs. They also study dances, patterns on clothes and carpets, dishes, housing, handicrafts and much more. Ethnographers are interested in how ancient customs and folk art have been preserved to this day. A representative of the Maori people living in New Zealand. Drawing of an ethnographer

2. Ethnography. Some tribes of the Earth still live as in ancient times: South American Indians, Evenks, Australians, Africans. By carefully observing their lives, ethnographers help historians imagine how our distant ancestors lived. The outstanding Russian ethnographer of the last century, N.N. Miklouho-Maclay, devoted his entire life to the study of Papuan tribes. The Papuans called him “the good white man from the moon.” He wrote a big book about how the jungle inhabitants hunt, work in the fields, build huts, and celebrate holidays. N.N. Miklouho-Maclay proved that backward tribes, although they live a primitive life, have a rich culture, are hospitable and honest. N. N. Miklouho-Maclay () 2. Anthropology. People didn't always look the way they do now. Our ancestors were animals and over millions of years turned into people! At the same time, of course, they have changed a lot. By studying the fossilized bones of our earliest ancestors, scientists are figuring out how humanization occurred. Remember: the historical science that studies how and why people changed in the past and what people look like now is called anthropology. Restored M.M. Gerasimov, based on a petrified skull, the appearance of a primitive boy who died many thousands of years ago

2. Anthropology. Human remains can tell a lot. The bones of the head are especially important to scientists. Scientists have even learned to reconstruct the faces of long-dead people from the skulls. The Soviet scientist M.M. Gerasimov studied for a long time and persistently how skeletons and skulls are arranged. He established that there are no exactly identical skeletons. The bones of men are different from the bones of women, the skeleton of a European is different from the skeleton of an Asian, the skull of a young man is different from the skull of an old man. And an experienced anthropologist can immediately see these differences. You can determine from the teeth what the ancient man ate, from the bones of the arms and legs - what he was sick with and when he died. The skull tells us what the missing eyes, lips, and hair were like. Gradually, anthropologists are restoring complete portraits of ancestors. This is what a woman looked like who lived in our country three and a half thousand years ago. Restored by anthropologists

3. Numismatics. Two thousand seven hundred years ago, metallic money first appeared in the ancient world. They depicted stars, plants, weapons, and animals. But most often on the front side were the names and portraits of the rulers. In the ancient Roman state, money was minted only in the temple of the goddess Coin. That is why metallic money is still called coins. Money is the most important historical source. They are studied by a special science - numismatics. Coins were sometimes minted in honor of great military victories and important events. If historians establish that at some time many coins were made, then we can assume that then people lived well and conducted brisk trade. If, on the contrary, the coins were hidden in secluded places, it means that difficult times were coming. Ancient coins discovered near the modern city of Belgorod-Dniester

4. Heraldry. In ancient times, many noble people had coats of arms - special drawings that told about the nobility of the family and the exploits of their ancestors. There is a branch of history that studies ancient coats of arms and seals that have survived to this day and learns a lot about their owners. This science is called heraldry. The coat of arms and flag of our country in 1900.

Slide 2 ( lesson goals and objectives)

1. What is history

The lesson begins with an introductory word from the teacher:

Today we are starting to study a new subject “History”. This word is familiar to you. The word “history” has many meanings. The world, the state, and every person have their own “history”. You and I are beginning to study history as a science.Question to students:If history is a science, what does it study?

Based on what has been said, the teacher summarizes:

History is the science of the past, descriptions and understanding of the past.

Notebook entry: History studies the past of human society, the life and activities of people in the past.

History is divided into world and domestic.

Question to students:What does world history study, and what does domestic history study?

The teacher summarizes the answers:

World history studies the history of all peoples of the world, and domestic history studies the history of our country.

Let's remember the memorable and heroic events of our history?

Slides 3-6

Sample answers: Battle of the Ice, Battle of Kulikovo, battles of the Great Patriotic War.

Write in your notebook:

History is a very important science, it needs to be studied in order to better understand the events happening to us today.

Slide 7

The great Russian historian V.O. Klyuchevsky said: “A people who do not remember their past has no future.”

Guys, what do you think he was talking about?

Summarizing the answers, the teacher comes to the conclusion:

History must be taught in order to understand people, other nations, in order to understand one’s place, and perhaps purpose, in the world, in order to learn from the mistakes of others and not repeat them.

2. What is the history of the Ancient World about?

Question: What do you think the word Ancient means?

Sample answers: ancient, old.

Writing in a notebook: The history of the Ancient World is a science that studies the distant past of people, countries, and peoples.

The history of the Ancient World is the first part of universal history.

3. Historical sources

Like any science, history has its own material for study, which are historical sources.

Slide 8-11

The teacher draws a table on the board, students in their notebooks.

Historical sources are everything that gives us information about the past.

Question: How do people find historical sources?

Slide 12

The teacher summarizes the students’ answers: One of the ways to obtain sources is archaeological excavations.

Archeology is a science that studies material historical sources and uses them to reconstruct the past of human society.

Slide 13

History is patronized by a muse, her name is Clio. The name Clio literally means “Giver of Glory.”

Questions for conversation: What object is Clio holding in her hands? ( Scroll) . What does this mean? (All human deeds are remembered and recorded. It depends on the person how he will go down in history - with glory or ingloriously).

4. How the textbook is structured

Introduction to the structure of the textbook. The teacher explains that the textbook consists of chapters and paragraphs. On page 3. Let's get acquainted with the symbols.

II. Reinforcing what has been learned in class

Tasks:

1. Distribute the sources shown on the slides into two groups: physical and written. (Slides 14–22)

Detailed lesson plans contain all the necessary material for conducting full-fledged lessons on the history of the Ancient World in the 5th grade of secondary schools, designed for teachers working from textbooks by A.A. Vigasina, G.I. Godera, I.S. Sventsitskaya (M.: Prosveshchenie), F.A. Mikhailovsky (M.: Russian Word). The manual is completely autonomous, contains various additional materials for the teacher, and a large number of game tasks. The publication is supplemented with new options for conducting lessons and excerpts from historical documents. The book will be useful for both beginning teachers and experienced teachers.

Information for teachers

Reminder when working with a historical map

When starting to work with a map, you need to familiarize yourself with its symbols, with the so-called legend - a sign at the edge of the map. It is an important support in actions with the card. In order to make the map speak, look at the symbols presented in the legend, the coloring and read the captions. After that, you can easily find what you need on the map. She will tell you about the borders of the state, the national composition of the population, cities, popular movements, the largest battles during the war, partisan movements, etc.

Pay attention to the conventions of the signs and their disproportion with the scale of the map. For example, one or two horsemen represent a whole army, crossed swords represent the most important events.

When working with a historical map, you can rely on the knowledge of cartography acquired in natural history and geography lessons; map as an image of the Earth's surface; reading a map using a legend, drawing up characteristics of a country based on a map, etc.

From class to class, maps become more complex, rich in symbols, and working with them becomes more difficult.

You need to stand on the right side to show geographical and historical objects on a wall map.

To better understand and remember the location of geographical and historical objects on the map, the work must be organized so that the display is carried out both on the modern political map of the world and on the historical map.

So, in the history lessons of the Ancient World, we will get acquainted with the life of primitive people in the history of the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Western Asia, India, China, Greece and Rome. We will find out how the first Olympic Games were held, who Spartak and Alexander the Great were, where gunpowder and porcelain were first invented, where chess appeared...

We will receive detailed information about all this by studying the textbook. How do real scientists learn about people’s lives and the distant past?

Independent work of students with the text of the textbook (p. 6 of Vigasin’s textbook, pp. 6-7 of Mikhailovsky’s textbook).

What is the name of the science that studies material monuments?

stories? (This is the science of archaeology.)

How does an archaeological expedition work?

Teacher's story .

Before the start of an archaeological expedition, its participants study the literature of the area where research is proposed. Then they find the monument itself. Quite often it opens by accident, especially during excavation work, sometimes due to natural erosion of the soil. The first field stage of archaeologists’ work is reconnaissance, when a complete survey of the area is carried out, all monuments are entered on the plan map using conventional archaeological symbols; At the same time, a preliminary examination of the main object is carried out, including measurement, collection of lifting material and pitting (a pit is a 1 x 1 hole), that is, carrying out small excavation work.

Archaeologists have discovered many interesting monuments using aerial photography. This is the Etruscan city of Spina, ancient roads and places of Roman military camps in the Syrian desert... Sometimes aerial photography reveals archaeological monuments located under water at a depth of up to 7 m. This is how the sweat structures of the Phoenician city of Tara, which was flooded by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, were discovered.

Once exploration is complete, excavations begin. Layer by layer, archaeologists remove the soil. Each such layer, it is called a stock, is approximately 18-20 cm. This is slightly less than the blade of a shovel. In order for the work to proceed successfully, archaeologists divide the monument into sections (excavations). The material collected during excavations is sent to the institute, where it is cleaned, restored and studied.

Working with new terms (in writing in notebooks ).

Archeology - the science that studies history using the material remains of ancient people.

Historical source - it is a historical monument that provides information about the lives of people in the distant past.

Story - science that studies the past and present of humanity.

Reinforcing the material learned

What new did you learn in class today?

What does ancient history study? (How did ancient people appear on Earth, how did they live, what inventions did they come up with, what states were the first on Earth, what peoples created them, what were the achievements of people in ancient times.)

What does archeology study? (Tangible historical monuments.)

What is a historical source? (This is what gives us information about people's lives.)

What does history study? (History is a science that studies the lives of people. Therefore, in the next lesson we will begin to get acquainted with how the ancient people lived.)

1. Summing up the lesson

Homework: read Introduction on p. 6 of Vigasin’s textbook or on p. 5-7 of Mikhailovsky's textbook; prepare a detailed answer to the question: “How do scientists learn about the lives of people in the past?”; Goder G.I. Workbook on the history of the Ancient World (issue 1), task No. 1.

Additional material

How are archaeological sites found?

In the vicinity of the village of Tarasovo, 30 km from Sarapul, on the banks of the Kama River, on a high mountain, oil workers drilled a well and from it, across the entire cape, they laid a trench for an oil pipeline. One of the workers digging a trench drew attention to strange green objects that he threw out of the trench along with the earth, and human bones of the skull, legs, and pelvis, lying here and there without any order. Turning out to be an inquisitive person, he was not lazy and called the Sarapul Museum. Kolya urgently headed to Tarasovo. It was deep autumn, slush, dirt, but the rain helped to some extent - it exposed discarded bones and things scattered virtually along the entire length of the trench. He collected, packed and delivered everything he could.

Yes, there is no doubt, this is a burial ground. Judging by the material, from the Cheganda-Mazunin time.

Wonderful discovery!

During the classes

I. Organizational moment

Information for teachers

Since in the course of the history of the Ancient World the teacher continues to work on developing in students the ability to speak competently and beautifully, then at each lesson it is advisable to ask students to give detailed, detailed answers to one or two main questions of homework in front of their classmates. To better prepare this task, the teacher can prepare a special card in which the question itself will be formulated and a detailed plan for answering it will be given. The question is asked to the whole class, and one of the students will prepare and answer it. Having announced the task, it is necessary to give the student time to prepare it. While the student is preparing, the teacher and the class organize other forms of checking homework.

II. Updating students’ basic knowledge on the topic “What does the history of the Ancient World study?”

Preparing an oral response using a card № 1.

Sample student answer

In order to find out how people lived in the distant past, it is necessary to use the finds of archaeologists. Archaeologists are scientists who reconstruct history from material monuments. Before leaving for excavations, they study the literature of the area where research is proposed. They then conduct reconnaissance of the area. After this they begin excavation. They dig with shovels, removing thin layers of earth. The collected material is processed and studied. The finds of archaeologists are physical monuments of history or historical sources.

Frontal conversation with the class on issues .

Define the concept of “World or General History.” (The past of the peoples of the whole world from ancient times to the present day is called General History.)

What is the name of the first part of World History? (Ancient world history.)

What does ancient history study? (The history of the Ancient World studies the life of primitive people, the civilizations of Egypt, India, China, Greece and Rome.)
