The soldier who does not dream of being a general is bad. A bad soldier is one who, having become a general, ceases to be a soldier.

Attention! The site administration site is not responsible for the content of methodological developments, as well as for the compliance of the development of the Federal State Educational Standard.

This methodical development relevant in our time, because it is built on the principle of "quest", which is so popular among young people.

Purpose of the event: education of moral and patriotic feelings in relation to their homeland.

Event objectives:

• to cultivate love for the Motherland through respect for the past of the country, the present, as well as a sense of responsibility for its future;
• to intensify the interest of young men in military affairs.
• develop memory and imagination,
• instill a sense of pride for our army, for the heroes of our Fatherland.

Forms of organization of children's activities: game by stations (analogous to the modern "quest" in our time).

Age: 8-9 grade.

Note:

• "combat sheet" and "shoulder straps" can be printed on A5 format on both sides;
• it is necessary to explain to the girls before the game the principle of filling in the “shoulder straps”,
• every girl should have a marker different color so that they cannot “play along” with the guys and do not paint over an extra star or badge (thus, everyone should be painted different color),
• filling in the “shoulder strap”: in order to avoid confusion, draw “stars” or “badges”, all the insignia are already numbered (that is, the guy came to the first station, completed all the tasks, then the first stripe is painted over for him, at the next - second, and so on). As soon as all the numbered elements are painted over on the first "chase", only after that you should move on to the next "chase", do not jump, do everything sequentially. You should also pay attention to the fact that some elements are numbered with two the same numbers, this means that you need to paint over both elements at once (The appearance of certain stars is due to an increase in military rank, but there are some inaccuracies, this is not so scary, the main thing is that the meaning of the gradual “increase” of a teenager during the game is preserved).
• 3 minutes to complete each task, 2 minutes to move around the stations, return to the station again (you can’t fail to complete the task),
• The game is scheduled for 1 hour 30 minutes. At the end of time, the girls leave their stations. Some boys may not have time to go through everything.
• at the end of the game, the boys bring their "battle sheets" with "shoulder straps". The teacher looks at what ranks have been collected and makes a suitable "shoulder strap". Blanks with green shoulder straps must be made in advance, as well as stripes and stars different sizes. Immediately you just need to glue those elements that are necessary after passing all the stations for each child individually.
• Not all children will be able to "reach the rank of general" for reasons of their sports or intellectual abilities, and this is natural, since in life few become generals. But there are also simple tasks so that the child does not leave as a simple ordinary at the end of the game.

Game progress

Teacher: Good afternoon, Dear friends! Today we have gathered on the eve of the holiday, which is dedicated to our valiant defenders. February 23rd was celebrated in 1922. In Soviet historiography, it was generally accepted that on this day in 1918 the army of revolutionary Russia won its first victories. It happened near Narva and Gdov, where the Red Army forced the troops of Kaiser Germany to retreat. Over time, the content of the holiday has changed.

1 girl: Previously, February 23 was called the Day of the Red Army and Navy. It was a military holiday. The authority of the military was high, military service was considered prestigious. It should be noted that not everyone was taken to the Red Army in those years. The young man had to have not only excellent health, but also belong to certain social groups. Called for military service guys from working and peasant families. Very rarely they took children from the families of the intelligentsia, and those who had nobles among their ancestors could not even dream of it. Among the officers, there were people noble origin, officers of the tsarist army who went over to the side Soviet Russia. They were called soldiers. Red Army Day in those years was not a day off. It was a professional holiday when only soldiers and officers were congratulated. It was also not customary to arrange festive feasts on this day.

2 girl: After the Great Patriotic War The Red Army was renamed into the Soviet. Accordingly, the name of the holiday has also changed. From 1949 until the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was called the Day Soviet army and the Navy. Until about the beginning of the 60s, it continued to be considered an exclusively military holiday. Not only men were congratulated. There were quite a lot of women among the military, especially among the former front-line soldiers. On this day solemn meetings, concerts, major cities fireworks were arranged on "round" dates. The tradition to congratulate all men on this day was formed in the 60s. The fact is that men did not have their own holiday, while International Women's Day was celebrated quite widely. Employees of enterprises, students and schoolgirls began to give gifts to those with whom they work or study together, arrange concerts and friendly gatherings.

3 girl: Day of the Soviet Army and Navy became the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland. Back in 1995, the law "On the days of military glory (victory days) of Russia" was adopted. The day of February 23 was also indicated there. Defender of the Fatherland Day became a non-working day in 2002. Now Defender of the Fatherland Day is not a military holiday. This is the day of all men. The representatives of the stronger sex are congratulated at home and at work, they are given gifts, concerts and folk festivals are arranged for them. However, some women are also congratulated on this day, because there are still a lot of them in the army. This day is celebrated not only in Russia, but also in some countries of the former Soviet Union.

Teacher: So you learned some facts from this holiday. In honor of this day, we decided to arrange a small quest game for the boys of our class. At the very beginning, you will receive small envelopes in which there will be “combat sheets”, on which places with tasks and “shoulder straps” are indicated. These "shoulder straps" are on this moment clean, and your task is to collect all the necessary badges and stars in order to become a general from a private. Now the girls will leave to take their "combat posts", and I will explain the rules in more detail.

Rules of the game

(The rules of the game can be written on the board, it is necessary to distribute envelopes with “fight sheets” and “epaulettes”. Appendix 1 and Appendix 2).

1. The game is 1 hour 30 minutes long and has 17 stations. You have 3 minutes to complete each task, and 2 minutes to move around the stations.
2. If you can not complete the task - do not waste time, move on. It is impossible to return to this station again in order to exclude the tips of comrades who were able to complete this task.
3. Tasks of 3 types:
   • sports (they are marked in combat sheets as "C")
   • intellectual ("AND")
   • creative ("T")
     Tasks are performed in random order. If you feel that you can easily complete intellectual ones, then start with them.
4. At each station you have the opportunity to earn a badge or a star.
5. When you pass all the “battle points” or the time runs out, you return back to the class so that you can exchange your “battle lists” for shoulder straps that you could deserve.

I hope everyone understands the rules. So, I'm timing. The game starts!

(Children go on assignments).

Awards

After all the participants return from their assignments, everyone gathers in the class. In the meantime, you can already prepare the "epaulettes" and stick on them those stars / badges that the teenager was able to "collect" for the entire period of the game.

Teacher: We are happy to welcome you all here again. Each of you tried very hard and with honor and valor performed all the tasks that you met on the way. As the proverb says - "The soldier who does not dream of becoming a general is bad." And now we will find out which of our guys was able to reach the general in our impromptu game. So, the awards ceremony!

1 girl: We begin our rewarding in ascending order - from private to general.

(There is an awarding of participants).

Teacher: Once again, we would like to thank everyone for their participation. Not everyone was able to become generals, but it had to be so, because in life only a few can reach heights in a military post. As a gift to all our defenders, our girls will sing a song for you!

(The song can be any, the main thing is to have a military theme).

Any of us at least once faced such a problem: flashing someone's catchphrase, people embarrassedly say: "I don't remember who said it ..." Or they refer to a certain poet, often without indicating his name: "As the poet said .. Or they even attribute any vivid expression to Napoleon.

But behind every word or statement there is a very specific person - a philosopher, poet, historical figure or any specific source, such as the Bible, explains the philologist, the author " encyclopedic dictionary winged words and expressions" (publishing house "Lokid-Press") Vadim SEROV. - This distinguishes aphorisms from such stable phraseological turns, such as, for example, "shout all over Ivanovo" or "Kolomenskaya verst", which have an anonymous or folklore origin.

Agree, - continues Vadim Vasilyevich, - it is very interesting to know: who said this? When? For what reason? And what exactly did the author mean? Interesting discoveries are possible here. Not for nothing that at one time the famous American satirist writer Ambrose Bierce joked: "A quote is an incorrect repetition of other people's words."

So here are the myths catchphrases debunked Vadim Serov.

Truth in wine

This phrase, as a rule, is taken literally: they say, you can’t figure it out without a hundred grams. Meanwhile, the meaning here is somewhat different. The author of the phrase, the Roman erudite writer Pliny the Elder, who lived in the 1st century AD, in his work "Natural History" (XIV, 141) used it in the sense that under the influence of alcohol people become liberated and say what they think, in connection with than the meaning of the phrase should be understood in the sense of "What a sober man has on his mind, then a drunk on his tongue." In some cases, this phrase is reproduced with a continuation: "In vino veritas, in aqua sanitas" - "Truth in wine, health in water."

Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword

This phrase Soviet writer Pyotr Pavlenko, screenwriter of the film "Alexander Nevsky" (together with Sergei Eisenstein, 1938), put it into the mouth of Alexander Nevsky. Subsequently, it was repeatedly cited in newspaper articles and on posters as a genuine historical phrase that belonged to the prince. In fact, this phrase is evangelical. In the original, it sounds like this: "Those who take the sword will perish by the sword." In addition, in the sources of the biography of Alexander Nevsky ("Pskov Second Chronicle" and "Sofia First Chronicle"), these words are not.

And yet she turns!

It is generally accepted that, having signed a renunciation of his "heretical teaching" and having heard the verdict of the Inquisition on life imprisonment, Galileo, rising from his knees in the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, stamped his foot and uttered this famous phrase. No matter how beautiful the legend, no matter how courageous Galileo was, he did not say that.

For the first time, the story of famous phrase was told only five years after the death of Galileo. Most likely, it arose due to famous artist Murillo, who after the death of Galileo was commissioned his portrait. The order was completed by one of Murillo's students in 1646. And only 250 years later, art historians found that the wide frame skillfully hides the "heretical" part of the picture, which shows astronomical sketches showing the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, and the famous words: "Eppus si muove!" ("She's spinning!"). Here, probably, the roots of the origin of the legend are hidden.

"Newspaper Duck"

The expression has absolutely nothing to do with ducks proper, since it is based on consonance. It appeared at the end of the 18th century in Germany, where newspaper publishers, scrupulous about business reputation, marked the most dubious, from their point of view, materials with the letters N. T., which meant "non testatur" - "not verified." And since "ente" in German means "duck", this word later became a symbol of false reports contained in the media.

Religion is the opium of the people

Whoever thought that this was Lenin's phrase was mistaken. Its author is German writer Novalis (1772 - 1801). But that's not all. In the introduction to his Critique of the Hegelian Philosophy of Law, Marx wrote: "Religion is the sigh of an oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a soulless order. Religion is the opium of the people." That is, on the one hand, we have an inaccurate quotation, but, in addition, its general meaning is usually misunderstood. Initially, it was meant that religion is not a poison (by the way, opium was not considered a drug in those days, on the contrary, it was considered a very popular painkiller, and therefore was sold in pharmacies even without a prescription), but an outlet, a therapy that can alleviate suffering. The famous slogan "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" also invented not by Lenin or even Karl Marx, but by the German revolutionary Karl Schapper (1812 - 1870).

Born to crawl cannot fly

Who does not work shall not eat

The authors of the well-known communist slogan are by no means Bolsheviks: they simply repeated it more often than others. Why and authorship is attributed to them. Nevertheless, it should be noted that it goes back to the Second Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians: "If anyone does not want to work, then do not eat."

State is me

The phrase, so familiar to us from childhood, is perhaps one of the most perverted in meaning. The Roman satirist Juvenal, to whom she, in fact, goes back, wrote in his 7th satire: "We must pray to the gods that the spirit be healthy in a healthy body ..." - on the basis of which the well-known Roman proverb "Mens sana" was formed. in sorrore sano - avis rara" - "In healthy body a healthy mind is a rare blessing."

Bad is the soldier who does not dream of becoming a general

Attributed to the great commander Alexander Suvorov. However, reading the collection "Soldier's Notes" (1855) by Alexander Fomich Pogossky, which is a collection of aphorisms-teachings stylized as folk, we find: "The soldier who does not think of being a general is bad, and even worse is the one who thinks too much that with he will be "(Complete collection of works by A. F. Pogossky. T. I. St. Petersburg, 1899).

Only the first part of the phrase became winged. The sequel, as is often the case, was forgotten. IN modern meaning used, usually to encourage, encourage someone in his enterprise, bold plan, plan.

No person - no problem

Few doubt that this is how Joseph Stalin expressed himself. Meanwhile, the author is, apparently, the writer Anatoly Rybakov, who put the phrase into the mouth of the "leader of the peoples" in the novel "Children of the Arbat" (1987). Stalin pronounces it in connection with the execution of military specialists in Tsaritsyn in 1918: "Death solves all problems. There is no person, and there is no problem." Subsequently, in his "Roman-recollection" (1997), Rybakov wrote that he "probably heard this phrase from someone, perhaps he himself came up with it."

Game progress

Teacher: Good afternoon dear friends! Today we have gathered on the eve of the holiday, which is dedicated to our valiant defenders. February 23rd was celebrated in 1922. In Soviet historiography, it was generally accepted that on this day in 1918 the army of revolutionary Russia won its first victories. It happened near Narva and Gdov, where the Red Army forced the troops of Kaiser Germany to retreat. Over time, the content of the holiday has changed.

1 girl: Previously, February 23 was called the Day of the Red Army and Navy. It was a military holiday. The authority of the military was high, military service was considered prestigious. It should be noted that not everyone was taken to the Red Army in those years. The young man had to have not only excellent health, but also belong to certain social groups. They called for military service guys from working and peasant families. Very rarely they took children from the families of the intelligentsia, and those who had nobles among their ancestors could not even dream of it. Among the officers, there were people of noble origin, officers of the tsarist army, who went over to the side of Soviet Russia. They were called soldiers. Red Army Day in those years was not a day off. It was a professional holiday when only soldiers and officers were congratulated. It was also not customary to arrange festive feasts on this day.

2 girl: After the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army was renamed the Soviet Army. Accordingly, the name of the holiday has also changed. From 1949 until the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was called the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. Until about the beginning of the 60s, it continued to be considered an exclusively military holiday. Not only men were congratulated. There were quite a lot of women among the military, especially among the former front-line soldiers. On this day, solemn meetings, concerts were held, in large cities, fireworks were arranged on “round” dates. The tradition to congratulate all men on this day was formed in the 60s. The fact is that men did not have their own holiday, while International Women's Day was celebrated quite widely. Employees of enterprises, students and schoolgirls began to give gifts to those with whom they work or study together, arrange concerts and friendly gatherings.

3 girl: Day of the Soviet Army and Navy became the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland. Back in 1995, the law "On the days of military glory (victory days) of Russia" was adopted. The day of February 23 was also indicated there. Defender of the Fatherland Day became a non-working day in 2002. Now Defender of the Fatherland Day is not a military holiday. This is the day of all men. The representatives of the stronger sex are congratulated at home and at work, they are given gifts, concerts and folk festivals are arranged for them. However, some women are also congratulated on this day, because there are still a lot of them in the army. This day is celebrated not only in Russia, but also in some countries of the former Soviet Union.

Teacher: So you learned some facts from this holiday. In honor of this day, we decided to arrange a small quest game for the boys of our class. At the very beginning, you will receive small envelopes in which there will be “combat sheets”, on which places with tasks and “shoulder straps” are indicated. These “shoulder straps” are currently clean, and your task is to collect all the necessary badges and stars in order to become a general from a private. Now the girls will leave to take their "combat posts", and I will explain the rules in more detail.

Rules of the game

(The rules of the game can be written on the board, it is necessary to distribute envelopes with “fight sheets” and “epaulettes”. Appendix 1 and Appendix 2).

1. The game is 1 hour 30 minutes long and has 17 stations. You have 3 minutes to complete each task, and 2 minutes to move around the stations.
2. If you can not complete the task - do not waste time, move on. It is impossible to return to this station again in order to exclude the tips of comrades who were able to complete this task.
3. Tasks of 3 types:
   • sports (they are marked in combat sheets as "C")
   • intellectual ("AND")
   • creative ("T")
     Tasks are performed in random order. If you feel that you can easily complete intellectual ones, then start with them.
4. At each station you have the opportunity to earn a badge or a star.
5. When you pass all the “battle points” or the time runs out, you return back to the class so that you can exchange your “battle lists” for shoulder straps that you could deserve.

I hope everyone understands the rules. So, I'm timing. The game starts!

Who is a manager and what does it mean to be a leader?

When we talk about a career, we most often mean a vertical trajectory - specialist, head of department, deputy director, director. What does it take to get to the next step? Experience and years of service are the first things that come to mind. Initiative and activity - this is what I would like to see. But to be honest, very often the appointment to a position occurs without any obvious rules - this is how the stars were formed.

Managers are not born, they are made. Management is a job like any other. But you have to learn, often, already in the course of management itself. And for starters, it’s worth understanding whether a potential leader has necessary qualities in order to become a great professional.

So what kind of manager is he?

1. Strategist. He has developed the appropriate kind of thinking. He knows how to set goals, formulate them clearly, knows what SMART processing is. He is able to deduce tasks from goals, identify resources and plan deadlines and actions. In addition, he knows about the "horizons of the future" and takes into account external factors capable of influencing the work of his department.
2. Scrabble. The leader knows everything about the world. This is necessary both for making decisions, and for finding new ways and means of organizing work, and for talking with subordinates, and for creating the image of a leader, and for building one's own reputation.
