Review of the fairy tale "The Crane and the Heron"
I enjoyed this fun story, although neither the Crane nor the Heron is perfect. They have lived alone for too long, and therefore it is difficult for them to decide to start a family, they are afraid of responsibility, and they each have their own habits. But I want to believe that someday they will come to an agreement and everything will be fine.

Read summary, brief retelling fairy tales "The Crane and the Heron"
A Crane and a Heron lived in the same swamp. Each of them built a house for themselves, only at different ends of the swamp.
And so it became boring for the Crane to live alone. He decided to woo the Heron. I went to visit through the swamp. He walked seven miles, got there, and asked Tsaplya to marry him.
And Tsaplya turns him away from the gate. She doesn’t like the groom - his legs are thin, his dress is short, and he doesn’t fly well, and even feed him later, when food itself is scarce. The Heron chased away the Crane, but she herself began to think. But it’s really boring to be alone. I decided to agree and went to the Crane.
She comes and announces that she agrees to marry him. And the Crane sits offended and doesn’t look at the Heron. “No,” he answers, “now I don’t want to marry you. Heron, go back to where you came from.”
The Heron began to cry from resentment and shame and went home. And the Crane looks after her and thinks that he refused in vain, because there really is no life alone. And run after the Heron. He catches up near the house and asks to come back, saying he agrees to get married.
But here the Heron shows his temper and drives the Crane away. She doesn't need such a fickle groom. I drove it away. and he thinks: “What am I doing! I’m driving my own happiness away!” And run after the Crane.
So they follow each other to this day, but they never got married.

- To form ideas about moral values: harmony, tolerance, benevolence.
- Develop speech skills: students should be able to build a coherent, detailed answer to the question posed, use arguments and quotes in their answers.
During the classes
I. Organizational moment.
Read Russian proverbs. What does each of them say? (Appendix 2).
- The tale is beautiful, the song is beautiful.
- Listen to the fairy tale, and listen to the saying.
- Harmony nourishes, discord eats away.
Based on the proverbs, think about: what three goals are we setting today in class?
(During the lesson we will study the artistic features of fairy tales, think about what the fairy tale “The Crane and the Heron” teaches us, and also talk about what prevents us from reaching agreement and how we can achieve it).
II. Work with text. Features of the word in a work of art.
1. Getting to know the text.
We will start, of course, with the text. Let's read the fairy tale “The Heron and the Crane.”
2. Features of Russian folk tales. Repetition.
Prove what genre of literature is in front of us.
(Students recall the features of Russian folk tales: types of tales, structure, means of expression - and give examples of beginnings, endings, epithets, repetitions from the text).
3. Scientific and literary text: comparative analysis.
Let's talk about the features of the fairy tale word, how it helps us see the world through the eyes of a completely unknown storyteller, and maybe how it helps us see the world through the eyes of a Russian person. But first, let's look at a completely different style. (Annex 1).
Read the description of the gray crane from a scientific article:
These are large, long-legged and long-necked birds, their height is 90-155 cm, wingspan 150-240 cm, and weight 2-11 kg. Unlike herons that are similar to them, but have a very distant relationship, they stretch their legs and neck in flight. The head is small, with a sharp straight beak. On the head of most species there are areas of unfeathered and brightly colored skin. The tertiary flight feathers of the wings are slightly elongated, so that the tail appears long and bushy when the bird is standing on the ground. The plumage is most often gray or white. If we visually compare cranes with other wading birds, then compared to herons, their legs are usually longer and their necks more elongated; and in comparison with storks, the body is more graceful, the legs are longer, and the beak is proportionally smaller.
From the fairy tale “The Crane and the Heron” we also learn what the crane was like. What feature did the Russian people notice in the appearance of the crane? Find and highlight where in the dictionary entry this particular trait is mentioned.
(The fairy tale draws attention only to the long legs of the crane. In an excerpt from a scientific article this is mentioned three times: “they are large, long-legged ... birds”, “they stretch their legs in flight”, “compared to herons, their legs are usually longer , and compared to storks, the body is more graceful, the legs are longer.” (Appendix 2)
Let's see how a description is created in a Russian folk tale. Write out words from the text that help create the appearance of the crane.
Compare scientific and artistic descriptions: how do they differ? Can we guess the “character”, the characteristics of any particular crane, by reading a scientific text? How does the author of a scientific text feel about the birds described? And the author of the fiction?
(We don’t see the attitude of the author of the scientific article. But the author of the fairy tale laughs at the crane, he looks somewhat ridiculous: his legs are not long, but “long”, he himself is not tall, but “lanky”, he does not walk through the swamp, but “ “tip” - “tap, tap”).
How does artistic description differ from scientific description?
(1) An artistic description not only gives an idea of the appearance, but also makes it possible to imagine the character’s character traits, and also conveys the author’s attitude towards the character, the attitude of other heroes towards the character.
2) An artistic description is not necessarily a single piece of text; it can be created from disparate fragments).
How does the crane appear to us in a fairy tale? Can we guess his appearance, character. Imagine that you are a theater director and you need to choose an actor to play the role of a crane: describe this actor or name one of the actors you know. Explain your choice.
What kind of heron do we see, what do we learn about it? Look at the illustrations. (Appendix 2). Describe how each artist imagined the heron, what features he depicted in the illustration. How are the images similar and how are they different? Which illustration is closest to you?
III. Work with text. Contents of a work of art.
1. Primary perception of the text.
Let's see how well we understand the fairy tale. Complete the task according to the text on the card (Appendix 1, II). Answer the questions:
1) where do the crane and heron live? How far apart are they? Write down an expression that helps you understand this;
2) Why did the crane decide to marry the heron? Choose an answer, and next to it write down the expression that helped you understand it;
3) why did the heron go to woo the crane? Write down the answer and write down the word that helps you understand it;
4) why did the heron cry after the crane refused? Write down the answer and write down the expression that helped you understand it.
(The crane and the heron live far from each other: the crane “kneaded the swamp for seven miles.” The crane felt sad and lonely: “it seemed boring, it seemed boring to live alone” - so he decided to woo the heron. The heron refused, and then changed her mind: “changed her mind” , as they say in the fairy tale. When the crane refused the heron, she felt ashamed: she “cryed with shame” - and maybe even offended).
2. Deepening ideas about the content of a fairy tale.
Do the wishes of the heron and the crane coincide? Why then did they never fulfill their plans, what stopped them?
(It would be good if the students give several answers: the point is not only the inability to come to an agreement, but also touchiness, and the inability to decide on their desires: it’s not so obvious that each of them wants to get married).
Remember other works of Russian literature that deal with the same topic.
(I. A. Krylov “Swan, pike and crayfish”)
Let's reread the ending of the fairy tale.
What do you think the crane and the heron can do to somehow improve the situation (they still go to each other)?
Is this fairy tale only about marriage? Remember (or come up with) similar situations from life and tell us what you should have done so as not to offend each other, live and work together.
What does the fairy tale “The Crane and the Heron” teach us? What does a Russian person make fun of, what does he think about? What conclusions did you draw for yourself after reading this fairy tale?
Let's remember what goals we set at the beginning of the lesson? Have we achieved them? Please comment.
Choose one of the quotes and write a short essay using the selected quote as your topic. As one example in your reasoning, give the fairy tale “The Crane and the Heron”:
- “If there is agreement, there is happiness.” (Proverb)
- “Agreement leads to good, but dispute finds opponents.” (Proverb).
- “When there is no agreement among the comrades, their business will not go well, and nothing will come out of it, only torment.” (I. A. Krylov)
- “The main thing is to get along with yourself.” (Voltaire).
- “No matter how short the words “yes” and “no” are, they still require the most serious consideration.” (Pythagoras).
The crane invited the heron to marry him. The heron did not agree, but then changed her mind and offered to woo the crane... So they go to each other constantly, but no one wants to put aside their pride. This is a funny and endless fairy tale that will amuse a child.

Fairy tale The Crane and the Heron read
An owl flew - a cheerful head. So she flew, flew and sat down, twirled her tail, looked around and flew again - flew, flew and sat down, twirled her tail and looked around and flew again - flew, flew...
This is a saying, but that’s what a fairy tale is.
Once upon a time there lived a crane and a heron in a swamp. They built themselves huts at the ends. The Crane found it boring to live alone, and he decided to get married.
Let me go and woo the heron!
The crane has gone - whack-thump! - I kneaded the swamp for seven miles.
He comes and says:
Is the heron at home?
Marry me!
No, crane, I won’t marry you: your legs are long, your dress is short, you fly poorly, and you have nothing to feed me with! Go away, lanky one!
The crane went home, slurping unsalted. The heron then changed her mind and said:
“Rather than live alone, I’d rather marry a crane.”
He comes to the crane and says:
Crane, marry me!
No, heron, I don't need you! I don’t want to get married, I don’t want to marry you. Get out.
The heron began to cry with shame and turned back.
The crane thought about it and said:
“It’s a shame I didn’t take the heron for myself! After all, it’s boring to be alone. Now I’ll go and marry her.”
He comes and says:
Heron! I've decided to marry you, marry me!
No, crane, I won’t marry you!
The crane went home. Here the heron thought better of it:
“Why did you refuse? Why should I live alone? I’d rather marry a crane.”
She comes to woo, but the crane doesn’t want to. That’s how they go to this day to woo each other, but never get married.
Once upon a time there lived a Crane and a Heron. They were neighbors and often visited each other. The crane was bored living alone. He decided to get married. He wooed the Heron. But the Heron laughed at him. She said that the Crane was not a match for her. He got offended and went home.
The Heron thought why she drove the Crane away. After all, living alone is boring. She went to the Crane and began to ask: “Marry me!” The crane told her that she was ugly and he did not want to marry her. The Heron cried and returned home.
The crane caught himself and thought that it was in vain
offended the Heron. I went to her and said that I had decided to get married. But now Heron said that she did not want to marry him.
As soon as the Crane left, the Heron began to regret his refusal. And she went to the Crane herself. But now he refused her. So they walk after each other through the swamp, but cannot come to an agreement. And all because they are too proud.
