Lesson progress

Leading: (slide 1) October 21 or the weekend closest to that date is Apple Day in England, an annual event dedicated to apples, orchards and local attractions. The idea of ​​the Day is that the apple is a symbol of physical, cultural and genetic diversity. , which one must not forget.

Leading: (slide 2) Our lesson - the holiday of the apple - is a good version of the traditional Autumn Day, which is held in almost every school.

Every nation and every country has traditions associated with the apple. No fruit has been as popular in myths, fine arts, literature as the apple. (slide 3). The very first known apple is found in the Bible when Eve, succumbed to temptation, ate the forbidden fruit of knowledge offered by the serpent.

Let's find out about the secret of this ancient fruit that people love to eat so much. What is the apple hiding from us - let's reveal apple secrets together (slide 4).

Leading: And we have guests.

The rowan brushes are already burning with fire,
And the birch leaves turned yellow,
And the singing of birds is no longer heard at all,
And quietly, autumn comes to us

Autumn enters with her colors (students with colorful ribbons) and dances to the rhythm of the waltz.

I walk on the plains
Quiet, bright fairy tale,
I paint the groves
Solar paint.

Autumn colors are performed by Apple ditties (Appendix 2)

(slide 5) Among the many harvested fruits, my special relationship is with apples. At the beginning of autumn, apples are carefully removed from the tree in wicker baskets and carefully placed in wooden boxes, avoiding bumps and dents. Varieties of long-term storage apples are advised to be laid in rows, separating each row from each other with a paper wrapper or wrapping each fruit with it.

Ripe, red, sweet apple
Crispy apple with smooth skin.

I'll break the apple in half
I will share an apple with my friend

Leading: (slide 19) So, it’s not for nothing that the British have a proverb: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” - “An apple a day, and a doctor is not needed”, only, to be precise, the first part of the proverb should be replaced with “two or three apples in day...". A healthy person does not need to eat more.

(slide 20) Students give examples of proverbs about apples. The facilitator adds, asks to explain some of them.

(slide 21) The Slavs have long revered the apple tree as a symbol of fertility, health, love and beauty. It was used in marriage ceremonies. Guys and girls exchanged apples to express mutual sympathy, the fruit accepted during the matchmaking meant the girl's consent to marriage. Branches of the apple tree were stuck into wedding treats, apples were given to the newlyweds with the wishes of numerous offspring. Pregnant women had to look at the apple tree and touch its trunk. It was believed that this would give the child health, beauty and strength. As well as with the birth of a new life, the apple tree was associated with the end of life, considering it a mediator between the worlds of the living and the dead. A small apple tree was carried in front of the funeral procession and planted on the grave in order to communicate with the deceased through it until the soul reaches paradise. Apples were placed in the coffin so that the deceased would treat their ancestors to them.

(slide 22) In Slavic mythology, an apple was an emblem of a marriage union, healthy offspring. Apple fruits, shoots and blossom of the apple tree played an important role in wedding ceremonies. The exchange of apples between a guy and a girl symbolized mutual sympathy. Accepting an apple from a wooing guy, the girl, as it were, gave consent to marriage. Among the southern Slavs, apples acted as a wedding invitation.

(slide 23) Apple tree branches decorated the wedding banner and the bride's wreath, and were also used in the decoration of the festive table. So, Belarusians, Ukrainians and Poles stuck an apple tree branch into a loaf, and Russians into a wedding chicken. The southern Slavs sent the bride to the wedding with an apple, and after that she had to throw the fruit over the altar in order to have children. Newlyweds were given apples, wishing for a large offspring. Before the wedding night, they performed such a ceremony: one apple was hidden under the feather bed, and the other was broken into two parts, and each of the newlyweds ate half. An apple is an ancient Slavic symbol of the bride's chastity: it was left on the wedding shirt. South Slavs traditionally performed the groom's shave before the wedding under an apple tree. And when performing the ceremony of changing the headdress from a girl's to a woman's, the first one, with the help of an apple branch, was removed from the bride's head and thrown onto the apple tree.

Moderator: Apples have always been of great importance. This was reflected both in ditties and in Russian folk tales. This, for example, is a fairy tale about rejuvenating apples.

Everyone knows the magic phrase “Roll, roll, apple, on a silver platter”, so we roll an apple and see a fairy tale.

A staging of the fairy tale by V. Suteev “A bag of apples” is presented

Leading: (slide 24) August 19 celebrated annually feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was popularly called Apple Spas or the Second Spas. This happened because on this day all Orthodox consecrate fruits (and apples in the first place) and receive God's blessing. In pre-revolutionary Russia, grapes were originally blessed, but since it does not grow everywhere, they gradually began to bring apples, grapes, plums, etc. to the church. Historical writings say that at that time it was not customary to eat any fresh fruits at all, except for those that had lain all winter. Gradually, the holiday changed, and everyone began to eat fruits, and especially after the Savior. The celebration of the Apple Savior took place on a large scale: rich people bought whole cartloads of apples and pears and distributed them to everyone. Ordinary people presented each other not only with the fruits themselves, but also with culinary delights - pies, marmalade, apple juice ...

(slide 25) In the UK, this event was first organized in 1990, at the initiative of one of the charitable organizations. Although the holiday is called “Apple Day”, it is dedicated not only to apples, but to all orchards. The organizers of this holiday managed to see in the apple a symbol of diversity and all aspects of the world, and a sign that a person can influence what is happening around him. The holiday carries some elements of a fair with a thematic apple bias, where you can not only try hundreds of varieties of apples (some of which are not sold in stores at all), but also buy seedlings in order to grow them in your own garden or near your home . At the festival, you can try dozens of a wide variety of culinary dishes from apples and get recipes for some of them, so that later you can cook them at home.

(slide 34) If you dream that you are picking apples that have fallen to the ground, in reality you should be careful about the promises of quick money that come from dubious personalities. Seeing an apple in a dream means that events will soon occur in your family that will cause insurmountable differences. A dream in which you bite an apple and realize that it is rotten predicts that you will not be able to change something for the better in your life. If in a dream you see ripe apples hanging among green leaves, luck will be on your side in reality, so you can safely proceed to new important things.

(slide 35) I must say that we also always wipe an apple before taking a bite. But not out of superstition, but for hygienic reasons, since dust falls on apples hanging on a tree, insects sit down, and recently they have also been sprayed with poisonous insecticides.

The competition "Get an apple" is held. Apples are thrown into a large basin of water. Participants must grab an apple with their teeth, holding their hands behind their backs, and pull it out of the water.

(slide 36) In Ukraine, an apple-colony is known, a unique object and a botanical attraction, ranked among the seven wonders of Ukraine. This phenomenon grows in the form of a bush, covering an area of ​​about ten acres. The peculiarity of the apple tree, called the princely apple tree by the locals, is that it has long since lost its parent trunk, which has been replaced by tree branches that have taken root and given new shoots. There are 18 such branches-trunks with a diameter of up to 40 centimeters today.

(slide 37) Surprising - but true! To one Japanese Chisato Iwasaki On October 24, 2005, they managed to pick a fruit weighing 1.849 kg from a branch.

An apple falls from a branch into the grass,
The hedgehog will find an apple from a branch.
The hedgehog will bring an apple home.
Grated crumbs hedgehogs

An apple helps keep you awake
Dispels boredom and boredom
And how much pleasure do you get
When you are apple pie
You gobble up both cheeks!
So isn't it magical?
When the whole world went crazy!
They are admired by you and me.
And it will be so, my friends, always!

(slide 39) The game "Apple Worm" is being played. The holiday ends with a tea party with apple treats, as well as a tasting of the apples themselves.

(slide 40) I hope today we have revealed the secrets of an apple, learned about the beneficial qualities of a long-known fruit, and became convinced of its importance for our health.
