Creative work in the form of an essay is one of the most interesting and difficult types of work for students throughout the years of school life. Learning it takes place during direct preparation for each individual lesson on the development of speech, as well as in almost every lesson in literature, where students learn to reflect, analyze, formulate and express their thoughts, form their own point of view, work with critical material and additional literature. At the lessons of the Russian language, much attention is also paid to the development of speech and a sufficient number of hours are allocated.
Preparatory stage
Types of speech - narration, description, reasoning - are studied by schoolchildren in the primary grades, but there they are given primary information. Then they begin to write essays-miniatures (in 3-4 sentences). For kids, such a small task already seems difficult and requires considerable mental and creative effort from them. When moving to secondary school, these topics “emerge” again (for moreserious theoretical and practical level). And writing essays allows you to well consolidate theoretical knowledge in practice, develops the ability of schoolchildren to think logically and figuratively, expands the vocabulary of students, the ability to express themselves vividly, figuratively and competently when compiling coherent written texts on free and proposed topics.
An educational essay about a winter forest, for example, should help sixth graders learn how to write descriptive texts on a landscape theme and can be the final lesson for this block of classes. This is a classic example of texts of this type, and, perhaps, with appropriate preparation, the task will not cause much difficulty.
What is important at the preparatory stages, what points should be paid attention to? First of all, the creation of an appropriate emotional background.
- Firstly, children should be informed in advance that in a few lessons they will have to describe the winter forest so that they can pick up the appropriate material: poems about winter, interesting landscape sketches. The teacher can advise individual poems by Yesenin, Nekrasov, stories by Prishvin, Bianka, Sokolov-Mikitov, etc. Approximately two or three lessons before composing at each lesson, it is worth allocating 15-20 minutes (can be associated with the current topic being studied) and listen to what the students picked up examples of landscape poetic and prose lyrics. It is imperative to have a conversation about how the masters of the word see the winter forest, what pictures are drawn in the imagination of schoolchildren, what they imagine, whatassociations are born. This step is very important. On it, children “turn on” their creative thinking, join the process of verbal drawing. In fact, they learn to think in images. Moreover, in reality, few of them saw a real winter forest. But the teacher may advise you to take a walk in the park, observe the state of nature: sounds, smells, colors, sunlight at different times of the day, listen to your feelings and moods, and then ask the guys around, compare their perception of the winter landscape. This will also enrich the experience of schoolchildren.

winter forest essay 5th-6th graders are just learning to abstract. In order for the presented pictures to be brighter, it is imperative to hang several reproductions in the classroom, which depict the winter forest described in the essay. Naturally, they should be studied and analyzed in advance so that schoolchildren can feel the atmosphere, get used to it, and feel the special beauty of winter nature.
Lesson Notes
During the speech development lesson itself, you can turn on the background music quietly. Well suited, for example, Tchaikovsky (his "Four Seasons"). Music will help create the right mood, set the guys in an emotional lyrical mood and, at the same time, help them concentrate. It will be more interesting for them to describe the winter forest, the essay will turn out to be emotional, bright, rich.
