Викторина

«Кто это написал?»

Данную викторину можно предложить старшеклассникам для популяризации мировой художественной литературы. Проводится она на английском языке, однако ее могут также использовать и учителя литературы, поскольку все произведения переведены на русский язык.

Командам предлагается список произведений и первые фразы из этих произведений в произвольным порядке. На выполнение данного задания можно выделить 3 – 5 минут. Здесь учитель решает сам, сколько минут дать участникам викторины. Список художественных произведений может быть самым разнообразным, однако было бы интересно предложить учащимся как легко узнаваемые произведения, так и тексты, с которыми они могут быть незнакомы.

Ниже, в качестве варианта, приводятся названия известных произведений и первые фразы, с которых они начинаются. Список, как уже было сказано, может быть изменен учителем по своему усмотрению.

Moby Dick: Call me Ishmael.

Pride and Prejudice: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

One Hundred Years of Solitude: Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

Anna Karenina: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

A Tale of Two Cities: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.

1984: It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

Invisible Man: I am an invisible man.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter.

The Catcher in the Rye: If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

The Great Gatsby: In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Harry Potter: Mr. & Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.

The Old Man and the Sea: He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.
