Покращення навичок самостійної роботи є одним з невід’ємних компонентів успішного оволодіння іноземною мовою. Домашнє читання як форма самостійної роботи входить до робочих навчальних програм таких дисциплін, як „Практика усного та писемного мовлення” та „Практичний курс англійської мови”. Ця форма роботи передбачає вивчення текстів англомовних авторів, переклад відривків, складання словнику, аналіз тексту тощо. Однією з головних задач викладача у процесі підготовки завдань для домашнього читання є відбір текстів. Так, головними критеріями у відборі текстів для домашньго читання повинні бути автентичність, лінгвокультурологічна насиченість та інтегрованість з літературознавчими курсами. Оволодіння іншомовною культурою, приєднання до літературної спадщини країн мови, яка вивчається, підвищення рівня гуманітарної освіти, розвиток навичок смислового згортання та розширення тексту – саме ці завдання поставлено перед сучасним посібником з домашнього читання. У хрестоматії представлено автентичні тексти англомовних авторів – представників класичної літературної школи Великобританії та США. Текстам для читання передує коротка біографія письменників, що дає можливість уявити історичний контекст створення літературних робіт. Кожен текст супроводжується списком слів з дефініціями, завданнями для виконання. Оцінювання виконання завдань з домашнього читання складається з наступних компонентів: 1) переказ тексту – від 0 до 5 балів; 2) виконання завдань після тексту – від 0 до 5 балів; 3) вивчення тематичних лексичних одиниць – від 0 до 5 балів; 4) складання есе за однією з визначених тем – від 1 до 10 балів; 5) лексико-стилістичний аналіз тексту – додатково до 10 балів; * максимальна кількість балів – 25; * додаткові бали – до 10. 4 RAY BRADBURY (1920-2012) Ray Bradbury, American novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, screenwriter and poet, was born August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois. He graduated from a Los Angeles high school in 1938. Although his formal education ended there, he became a "student of life," selling newspapers on L. A. street corners from 1938 to 1942, spending his nights in the public library and his days at the typewriter. He became a full-time writer in 1943, and contributed numerous short stories to periodicals before publishing a collection of them, Dark Carnival, in 1947. Married since 1947, Mr. Bradbury and his wife Maggie lived in Los Angeles with their numerous cats. Together, they raised four daughters and had eight grandchildren. (Sadly, Maggie passed away in November of 2003). Best known for his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and for the science fiction stories gathered together as The Martian Chronicles (1950) and The Illustrated Man (1951), Bradbury is one of the most celebrated among 20th and 21st century American writers of speculative fiction. Many of Bradbury's works have been adapted into television shows or films. Bradbury's work has won innumerable honors and awards, including the O. Henry Memorial Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award (1954), the Aviation-Space Writer's Association Award for Best Space Article in an American Magazine (1967), the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, and the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America. His work was also included in the Best American Short Stories collections for 1946, 1948 and 1952. Perhaps Bradbury's most unusual honor came from the Apollo astronaut who named Dandelion Crater after Bradbury's novel, Dandelion Wine. Bradbury's lifetime love of cinema fuelled his involvement in many Hollywood productions, including The Beast from 20,000 5 Fathoms (a version of his story, "The Fog Horn"), Something Wicked This Way Comes (based on his novel,) and director John Huston's version of Moby Dick. His animated film about the history of flight, Icarus Montgolfier Wright, was nominated for an academy award. A SOUND OF THUNDER Summary The year is 2055, the day after the presidential election, won by Keith, who defeated the Fascist Deutscher. Eckles expresses relief over the election results as he prepares for a time travel safari to kill a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Eckles' guides, Travis and Lesperance, warn Eckles not to leave the path. They explain how tiny changes, such as killing a mouse, could have drastic ramifications in the future. As the T-Rex approaches, Eckles panics and leaves the path. Travis wants to kill him on the spot, but Lesperance and a whimpering Eckles convince him otherwise. When they return to the year 2055, Eckles is shocked to discover subtle changes in the air, in the room, and how words are spelled. He hears police whistles outside and learns that Deutscher has won the election. Eckles notices a dead butterfly on his boot and begs to go back in time so he can return it. Travis refuses to return and shoots Eckles in the back of the head. A SOUND OF THUNDER The sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film of sliding warm water. Eckels felt his eyelids blink over his stare, and the sign burned in this momentary darkness: TIME SAFARI, INC. SAFARIS TO ANY YEAR IN THE PAST. YOU NAME THE ANIMAL. WE TAKE YOU THERE. YOU SHOOT IT. Warm phlegm gathered in Eckels' throat; he swallowed and pushed it down. The muscles around his mouth formed a smile as he 6 put his hand slowly out upon the air, and in that hand waved a check for ten thousand dollars to the man behind the desk. "Does this safari guarantee I come back alive?" "We guarantee nothing," said the official, "except the dinosaurs." He turned. "This is Mr. Travis, your Safari Guide in the Past. He'll tell you what and where to shoot. If he says no shooting, no shooting. If you disobey instructions, there's a stiff penalty of another ten thousand dollars, plus possible government action, on your return." Eckels glanced across the vast office at a mass and tangle, a snaking and humming of wires and steel boxes, at an aurora that flickered now orange, now silver, now blue. There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame. A touch of the hand and this burning would, on the instant, beautifully reverse itself. Eckels remembered the wording in the advertisements to the letter. Out of chars and ashes, out of dust and coals, like golden salamanders, the old years, the green years, might leap; roses sweeten the air, white hair turn Irish-black, wrinkles vanish; all, everything fly back to seed, flee death, rush down to their beginnings, suns rise in western skies and set in glorious east, moons eat themselves opposite to the custom, all and everything cupping one in another like Chinese boxes, rabbits into hats, all and everything returning to the fresh death, the seed death, the green death, to the time

  • Ray Bradbury, Lo Scrittore Di Fantascienza Che Non Credeva Nel
    Tribunale Bologna 24.07.2007, n.7770 - ISSN 2239-7752 Direttore responsabile: Antonio Zama Ray Bradbury, lo scrittore di fantascienza che non credeva nel futuro Un autore grande e curioso, che non ha mai preso la patente e odiava Internet e gli e-book 21 Maggio 2021 Luca Martini Ray Bradbury (1920 - 2012) è stato un grande scrittore americano, eccellente nel genere fantascientifico, fantastico e futuribile, con romanzi e racconti per i quali è rimasto celebre, come “Fahreneith 451”, “Cronache marziane” e “Il popolo dell’autunno”. Nonostante la sua proiezione narrativa verso la fantasia, il futuro e le tecnologie, la sua vita è stata più o meno l’esatto contrario delle sue intuizioni. Ray Bradbury non ha mai preso la patente Il motivo è da ricondursi al fatto che a 16 anni assistette ad un tragico incidente d’auto e rimase talmente traumatizzato da non volere mettersi alla guida di un autoveicolo, che considerava un mezzo pericoloso per chiunque. Non amava nemmeno gli arei, che evitava accuratamente di prendere. Ray Bradbury era contrario all’edizione digitale delle sue opere, perché considerava il libro cartaceo l’unica forma giusta di divulgazione per un romanzo. Ha resistito fino al 2001, quando a 90 anni suonati ha acconsentito alla pubblicazione in formato elettronico del suo romanzo “Fahrenheit 451”, sostenendo però di preferire il formato cartaceo. Ray Bradbury odiava i computer e non sopportava Internet, che riteneva uno strumento inutile e potenzialmente molto pericoloso. Anche il suo nome e cognome, Ray Bradbury, come accaduto anche ad altri grandi scrittori, è stato utilizzato per attribuire nomi a oggetti nello spazio: “Dandelion Crater”, attribuito durante la spedizione dell’Apollo 15 per chiamare un cratere lunare; “9766 Bradbury” per identificare un asteroide, mentre la NASA ha chiamato “Bradbury Landing” il terreno del pianeta Marte sul quale si è posato la sonda Curiosity.

  • Portsmouth Christian Academy at Dover Upper School Recommended Summer Reading June 2013
    Portsmouth Christian Academy at Dover Upper School Recommended Summer Reading June 2013 Portsmouth Christian Academy’s Upper School library recommends the following books for your summer reading enjoyment and to keep your reading skills sharp for the coming year! You’ll find various genres represented here: current popular titles and classic works, fiction and nonfiction, Christian and secular titles: in other words, something for every reading interest, so enjoy! Note: Different books are appropriate for and appeal to different ages, reading levels, personalities, interests, beliefs and lifestyles. As always, please use both your own discretion and your parents’ guidance in choosing what to read. NOTE: In this year’s reading list, articles on dystopian fiction and on the author Ray Bradbury are followed by the general reading list. Dystopian Fiction: I want a book like The Hunger Games! Suggestions: Card, Orson Scott. Ender’s Game and Ender in Exile. Cashore, Kristen. Graceling and Bitterblue. Condie, Ally. Matched, Crossed, Reached. Dashner, James. The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, Death Cure, The Kill Order. Lowry, Lois. The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger, Son. Lu, Marie. Legend, Prodigy. Roth, Veronica. Divergent, Insurgent. 1 Suzanne Collins’ runaway bestseller trilogy The Hunger Games was a product of the author’s love for military history and also her fascination with the gladiators of ancient Rome. The admittedly horrifying idea of children being forced to fight to the death, or otherwise manipulated in a dystopian society, finds echoes in other books published before and since, such as Ender’s Game and Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card.

  • Science, Religion, and the War of the Worlds - Part I
    Journal of Religion & Film Volume 11 Issue 1 April 2007 Article 3 April 2007 Intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic: Science, Religion, and The War of the Worlds - Part I Douglas Cowan University of Waterloo, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Cowan, Douglas (2007) "Intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic: Science, Religion, and The War of the Worlds - Part I," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 11 : Iss. 1 , Article 3. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol11/iss1/3 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic: Science, Religion, and The War of the Worlds - Part I Abstract The War of the Worlds, which was scripted by Barré Lyndon and directed by Byron Haskin, reflects the Christian religiosity with which many of these films were charged—the overt references to a second Ark as humankind struggles to escape Earth in When Worlds Collide or the oft-repeated interpretation of Klaatu as a Christ-figure in The Day the Earth Stood Still. The significant question in this essay, though, is: In terms of its presentation of religion, why does the first cinematic version of The War of the Worlds, one of the seminal science fiction novels of the twentieth-century, differ so dramatically from Wells' original vision? This article is continued in Volume 11, Issue 2.
