Introduction

Introduction

When we arrived at the 5th grade on September 1, we noticed that our classmates had changed and matured. We found this very interesting. We saw that each of us has his own character, someone's mood is constantly changing, we have different hobbies. Therefore, we became interested, and we thought about why we are so different. Having visited the library and talked with a psychologist who leads the “Let's be friends” circle in our class, we learned a lot of new things.

We decided to observe each of the students in our class, conduct a survey, and, based on our observations, the results of questionnaires and surveys, draw up a self-portrait of the class. In fifth grade, we made a presentation about our observations. It was very interesting for all the children and our parents. And we decided that in and in the sixth grade we will also observe.

Together with the class teacher, we identified several points to which we had to find the answer:

1. Find out what is temperament? Create a “portrait” of class behavior based on observations.

2. What is a self-portrait? Conduct and analyze the questionnaire "What am I?".

3. Create a "Calendar of the birthdays of our classmates."

5. Make a conclusion.

5. Make a conclusion.

What is temperament?

Watching classmates, how they study, communicate, experience joys and sorrows, we drew attention to the differences in their behavior. There are among us fast and agile children, and there are explosive and aggressive, and of course slow and calm. The reason for this is temperament a person who belongs to him from birth.

Psychologists distinguish 4 groups of temperament:

    These are mobile balanced children.

    Very mobile, unbalanced.

    Motionless, quiet children.

    Slow, unbalanced.

Having read about temperaments in on-line dictionaries, we learned the following.

Temperament ( temperamentum- proper ratio of parts) - a stable association of individual personality traits associated with dynamic, rather than meaningful aspects of activity. Temperament is the basis of development ; in general, from a physiological point of view, temperament - person. (Wikipedia. Encyclopedia).

TEMPERAMENT m. lat. the nature of man, his natural composition, in accordance with the basic qualities of the soul; four main temperaments: sanguine ( alokrovny), choleric ( nervous), phlegmatic ( white-blooded ) and melancholy ( black-blooded). ( V. Dal Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language).

TEMPERAMENT, -a, m.

1. The totality of individual mental properties of a person, characterizing the degree of his excitability and manifested in his attitude to the surrounding reality, in the strength of feelings, behavior.Sanguine, melancholic, choleric and phlegmatic ~s.

2. Vital energy, the ability to uplift.Man with ~om.

(S.I. Ozhegov, N.Yu. Shvedova Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language).

Drawing up a "portrait" of class behavior based on observations


We decided to observe the behavior of classmates in the classroom and find out which temperament group prevails. Based on the results obtained, we have a portrait of "behavior".


12 people

In our class, mobile, balanced children and very mobile, unbalanced children predominate.

Thus, we called the portrait of our behavior as follows: "Not a moment of peace."


Footnotes:

Mobile balanced children.

Very mobile, unbalanced children.

Motionless, quiet children.

Slow, unbalanced children.

What is a self-portrait?

The theme of our project is "Self-portrait". We need to answer the question, what does “Self-portrait” mean? Using the literature, we found the concept of this word.

SELF-PORTRAIT, -a,m.A portrait painted from myself. ( S.I. Ozhegov, N.Yu. Shvedova Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language).

(from auto ... and portrait), a portrait of the artist, made by himself. In a self-portrait, the artist expresses his self-consciousness, assessment of his own personality and creative principles. (in the modern explanatory dictionary published by the Great Soviet Encyclopedia).

self-portrait - himself. Usually refers to a picturesque image; however, there are also sculptural, literary, photographic and cinematic self-portraits, etc. (Wikipedia. Encyclopedia).

A self-portrait is a picture of oneself.

Thus, we must paint a portrait of ourselves. To do this, we conducted a questionnaire, "What am I?", where everyone had to circle their palm and write 5 qualities that are unique to them.

The words were written on the blackboard:

evil

modest

shy


Based on these answers, we saw that in the class, most of the children are smart, hardworking, caring and modest. Thus, our self-portrait in grade 5 turned out like this:


In the 6th grade, our self-portrait became like this:


We watched the guys in the 5th grade and in the 6th grade.






Creation of the "Calendar of birthdays of our classmates"

Every year we have a birthday party in the class - last year and in this that year:

5th grade 6th grade

According to the date of birth of each student, we made a portrait "Calendar". They designated the following: “snowflake” are children born in winter, “cherry blossom” students are classmates who were born in spring, “sun” are summer birthdays, “autumn leaves” are students whose birthdays are in autumn. Reviewing the responses to the questionnaire"The world of my hobbies"We have identified 4 groups of hobbies and interests. Based on the results of this questionnaire, we can conclude that we love to move, so almost all children attend sports sections and circles. And also our class loves to draw, dance, participate in competitions and sing. And it also turned out that we like to be on duty around the school, go to community work days to clean the school territory, clean up the office, and put things in order. Thus, we concluded that our class "Creative, athletic and hardworking."



findings

All tasks set in the research work have been completed.

Thus, we have a self-portrait of our class.

As a result of this research, we saw that the portrait of our class is very bright. The main thing is that we, having different characters, learn to understand each other. Friendship helps us with this.


What has this job given us?

All this knowledge will help us better understand another person. We have acquired the ability to conduct a survey, process the results of the questionnaire, the ability to listen to the answers of classmates. We also acquired the skills of working in a text editor, in a graphic editor, the skills of working with photos and text at the same time.

With this work, we spoke to parents in the 5th grade at the “First Grade Graduation” holiday, this year we spoke at the school scientific and practical conference.

He is shy and modest - as far as the acting profession allows. Soberly refers to their achievements. A serious artist with a subtle lyric-comedy talent Andrey Kaikov comments on the most important.

Who am I?

“I am a person who loves life. And I like my different roles - actor, father, friend, son ... In each of them I manage to feel in my place and be in harmony with the situation. Accept what is. I like to communicate with other people and do not oppose myself to them. But at the same time, I am a rather secretive person and I am not ready to discuss my personal problems with anyone. It's hard for even my family to get something out of me. I took this quality from my father: he does not like to interfere in the lives of others, interfere with someone, impose himself. And this is typical of me too. I am hardworking, quick-tempered and responsible, but I don't think it comes with age. I feel like I'm not changing. Rather, I grow in breadth, like a tree: new branches appear, but the trunk, the core remain one.

Work samples:

  • There is a boy in my town. Hm. No.
    One boy lives in my house.
    There is one boy living in my room - me.
    He (I) is a very interesting person.
    Graceful, cultured, a little annoying, a little crazy.
    He was born in the distant past. Well, exactly 14 years ago.
    He graduated from an institution called "nothing".
    He is currently studying at the Mkhitar Sebastian educational complex.
    Earlier, he was educated at the school named after Hakob Kojoyan.
    I heard rumors that a few months ago he started writing poetry.
    He writes poorly, but I like his style.
    They say that his poems are very cruel, directed to someone dear to him.
    They say he is in love, suffering from unrequited love.
    For some reason, I do not believe in these rumors.
    He is too lazy when he walks through the door, I saw him sit down in a chair and start playing his stupid games!!!
    In the morning, it is not easy for me to persuade him to wake up. He is often late for school. And not only to school, I tell you.
    I followed him, and it turns out that he always and everywhere comes late.
    Here is such a person my contemporary.
    But despite all his defects, despite all the bad things about him, I love him very much.
    He's just a douche.

  1. Individual work in laptops (in blogs or e-books):

The person I would like to be like”

(Creating a portrait of a modern young man.)

After some time, the work is read out and discussed, after which the teacher reads the text from the electronic manual “It's cool!”

TEXT:

Do parents always understand their grown-up children well? Let's try to figure out what interests modern teenagers, what they consider cool and what their parents do not always agree with.

So, now in the youth environment:

Cool to drink beer, but weak, so as not to lose orientation.

It's cool to ride on the street in any weather - through puddles, snow; cool ride on railings, benches and stairs. It's cool to just drive fast and yell.

It's cool to ride in dirty clothes, in one piece of clothing, wearing a cap on your head backwards.

It's cool to walk in shorts as much as possible, especially in winter, and in summer to walk in a hat. Hats must be worn incredible, surprising everyone around.

It's cool to wear things topsy-turvy and backwards. Be sure to need different socks, you can also use different laces. It’s even cooler to wear, say, one sneaker and one fin. You need to experiment as much as possible with your external

It's cool to wear a bunch of all sorts of pendants on your head, neck, arms, clothes, to have piercings in all places of the body. It's cool to have a tattoo.

It's cool to run down the street in ridiculous clothes, yell, jump. It's cool to stand on your feet all the time, it's cool to behave outside the box.

Questions for conversation.

How do you feel about this youth behavior? Do you like this style, this fashion? Could you dress like this?

Do you think your parents understand you well?

Where do you disagree with your parents - about clothes, music? ..

Is it always necessary to agree with the opinion of parents, or is a teenager already able to make a choice in life?

Do you listen to your parents' advice? How do you feel about their opinion?

Are there always problems between parents and children?

Do you think you will understand your children well?

Until what age do you think children should live with their parents?

Should parents help their adult children financially?

  1. Reading a text about our contemporaries (musicians, writers, directors, just interesting people)
  • I will not name his name, because I do not know how it is written in Russian. In Armenian it is called Մհեր. He is my father's brother, which means he is my uncle, but since I cannot call him uncle, I will simply call him He.

So. He is smaller than his father in height and age. He was born and raised like his father in Vanadzor. The school was also there, but the university was already in Yerevan. But it is not important. And the fact that I do not understand his profession (If it's interesting, he graduated from the Faculty of International Economic Relations).

He has a musical background. At the age of seven he could play the piano.

But then it turned out that he himself learned to play the guitar. He says that in order to attract the attention of girls, he began to play in the group Lav Eli. This group does not commit themselves to any musical genre, but they are called an alternative rock band. They started their career in Vanadzor. But then they came to Yerevan, and they fell in love here. It so happened that two members of the group then left the country and began to live in the United States, one of the members returned to Vanadzor, and my father's brother remained in Yerevan, got married and a person dear to me, his daughter, was born. At the moment he has four children, but she remains the most dear to me.

I don't know where he learned to do tricks, but sometimes we ask him to show something. As a child, his magic tricks were the most amazing phenomenon. We tried putting a coin in our necks or eating them, but we didn't succeed.

He is just an interesting person with good humor, he is talented and he is like a second father, and our father is like a second father to his children. You can still talk about books with him, he loves science fiction. He also writes his own stories.

In general, I am proud that a man lives across the street who is my father's brother, and whose last name I actually carry (It's strange, but it's true). Galamkarian Nare

"I really wanted to be successful"

She dreamed of becoming a musician, but went to the theater. He loves the stage more than the cinema. In love with one person and faithful to him. Beautiful, smart, emotional, capable, friendly. I believed in my success from the very beginning, which I was not mistaken. A lot of nonsense is written about her in the media, the artist assures. The "MK" correspondent tried to get a non-contrived self-portrait of the young star.

I am the way I am. I never play anything, I'm the same girl as in life. There was no Nastya Zadorozhnaya project. Everything was built on live emotions, because people feel live creativity first of all. I have been in a creative search for a long time.

I am very captivated by the scene. This is where I get the most emotions. You give everything you have on stage. No film process will replace it. And even though I do not have the richest theatrical experience, but on stage you feel the audience live.

I never had ideals. Of course, there are creative people in my life whom I respect. They are a guiding light for me. For example, the standard artist for me is the American musician Sting. His main advantage is that despite the fact that he is already many years old, despite the amount of merit, he still continues to study. He recruits an amazing team of people, finds them somewhere. It was a pleasure for me to work with Tatyana Vasilyeva. She is an amazing artist. As a partner, I was pleased to work with Oleg Fomin in the play "A Cruel Lesson". I want to single out the actress of the Dzhigarkhanyan theater Elena Medvedeva. We played with her in Dangerous Liaisons. On stage, she exudes crazy magnetism and I feel very good with her.

Photo from the personal archive of N. Zadorozhnaya.

Dad-military, mother worked at the Zhukovsky Academy. We came to Moscow from the Russian North when I was three years old. I was born in the small military town of Fedotovo. The town was blooming, around the forest, we went for mushrooms, for fish. I remember how a wild queue lined up behind the rolls. The place radiated positive energy. My mother is very strong and always set some goals for herself. She supported me in my aspirations, but dad did not really. Mom spent everything on me as an only child. I remember when I went to the music school. Dad thought I was doing garbage and wanted to send me to law school. I was preparing to enter the music academy for music theory. I had an excellent ear, I learned to play the piano. My boys copied dictations, chords, intervals. But in connection with the fact that I pricked myself, picked up an infection and my finger was swollen to the size of a “ball”, I had to forget about music for a while. I flew out for a year. But suddenly, I was a schoolgirl, and they took me to star in the television series "Simple Truths" at the same time. And there, on the set, it became clear to me - I want to go to a theater university.

My mom is such a family boss. She loves to tell everyone what and who needs it. And how not to. Even today, she still makes attempts to control my life. Mom loves to give advice - she helped everyone all her life. And I must say that she believed that I would achieve something. And this is not easy - you are out of millions and you will achieve something. It's wildly hard, but my mother's faith in me supported me a lot.

Photo from the personal archive of N. Zadorozhnaya.

I really wanted to succeed . I feel like it was built into me. People look at you and see some potential in you. 9 people believed in me at once during the casting 13 years ago. Then it was somewhat more difficult to "break into the people" than today. It all started with the Orlyonok camp. Later, on MTV, I met Peter Sheksheev, my future producer, with whom we work to this day.

When I woke up famous. When I first heard my song "I'll be" in the form of ringtones on mobile phones. This song was a completely unrealistic success. Although, besides her, I have something to be proud of. They didn’t even want to take her on the radio at the beginning. But six months later she received the Golden Gramophone as the best ringtone of the year.

The influence of appearance on success. Often journalists suspect that my success is a consequence of the fact that someone shoved me behind a pretty face. And that, they say, there is nothing else. But be that as it may, I always had a boy character. I have always been a fan of jeans and sneakers, and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I really have a lot of help and friends with me. Probably because I am real, unmade. Zadorozhnaya is a perfect boy for so many of my male friends. I say this without any pathos.

The first love. She was in the children's musical ensemble "Fidgets", and his name was Seryozha Lazarev. It was my first unrequited love. But I was very lucky that I met such a person as Seryoga. Talented and handsome careerist. He then radiated a very powerful energy. A 13-year-old girl is better off falling in love with a guy like that than no loser.

What she loves, she doesn't like. For me, there is nothing perfect - an ideal man, etc. But in people I am annoyed by falsehood. I feel it right away. When a person is not someone, but tries to imagine something from himself. I don't have such friends. I appreciate humor in people. And a person must also have kind eyes. I really appreciate kindness in people. My mom is like that too. I'm more interested in talking to men. I have a women's council of friends who have been tested since GITIS, and we stick together. We advise each other. When it’s hard for me, I go to “cry” to my young man Sergey and to my old friend Petro Sheksheev (my producer).

When will the wedding I won't wear an ordinary wedding dress - I can't stand it. I would like to celebrate the wedding in a beautiful Italian castle. Or I'll go to the beach in Bali in a regular T-shirt and pants - and that's it. I don't want the wedding to be stressful for me. I want it to be as relaxed and simple as possible. I want to wake up at two o'clock in the afternoon, wrap something around my head and ... I don't want to think about what, where and who ... It seems to me that in my case it will be something slightly reminiscent of a wedding.

What should be the dream house. I want a cozy nest. The truth is I have no idea what it should be. It will be made of stone or wood ... Definitely, this is not a castle in the style of Maxim Galkin. I am a person who is happy in something simple enough. Therefore, my house will probably be quite simple.

I'm not spoiled for chic and glamour.. But I think that shoes should always be good. It is better to buy rags abroad, because everything is very expensive here.

Of course, the cinema gives the biggest fees.. I also make money from corporations. I can say that I earn “normally” to support my mother, aunt, as well as a large team of associates

I like driving a car. Now I drive a Range Rover Ewok, I used to drive a Mazda, a jeep. I loved this car very much, but having traveled for six years, I thought it was time to change to something new. I really want to relax and travel. I love Bali and Italy. From alcohol I like good whiskey, white wine. I love grey, white. I love tulips.

Model business does not interest me. Yes, I’m not very suitable for height either (1.71 m). Besides, I don't know how to make a "stone" face - I have 385 grimaces per minute.

I wish I had at least a couple of children. With my boyfriend (figure skater Sergei Slavnov) we have been together for five years. Everything was in our relationship. There were laps. But there is no need to take rigid positions in relation to each other. I'm glad I'm in a relationship with a real real man. I don’t like capricious male artists, I can’t stand their whining on the set. I like to make surprises for my man - I suddenly fell to him in other cities of the world. Even though it was difficult to get to him, but I was pleased. He made proposals to me from the first year of our acquaintance, but so far we are in no hurry. I want to want to, but I don't want to yet. I don't want to rush looking at the examples of friends and acquaintances. Apparently something happens when people wear rings and stamp their passports. But Seryoga and I have confidence in each other. Our union was built initially on the fact that we trust each other.

Favorite joke. One Jew comes to another and says, listen, life is impossible, I don’t understand what to do, there is nothing to eat, there is no work, no money, there are many children - the ninth is on the way. And he tells him that you have such an active childbearing, you have not tried to apply any security measures: go to the pharmacy, buy a condom, read the instructions and everything will work out for you. He went, bought it, came into the bedroom, undresses, pulls on a condom and begins to look in the mirror: and so he got up, and that, and awry. And then, imperceptibly, his wife enters the room and tells him: “The children have nothing to eat, but he x .. dresses up.”
