Collective form of work aimed at the sound perception of someone else's speech and repetition homework"Find a bug"

Let's look at the physical map of Eurasia and listen to what I dream about.

Journey through Eurasia.

I like traveling very much. Summer. Vacation, I decided to visit the unusual points of the Eurasian continent. I got on a plane and flew west to the Pacific Ocean. The first stop was in Paris, the capital of Great Britain. This city is surrounded by very beautiful Himalaya mountains. Their soft, low tops emphasize the beauty of the landscape. Then I got to the coast of the Norwegian Sea. Subtropical plants - firs, firs, pines, cedars everywhere created coziness and comfort. Butterflies were flying everywhere, and even saigas could be found in the forest. The next stop was in the north, on the island of Sri Lanka. It is the coldest island in the Arctic climate zone. Having flown high Tibet, the Tien Shan and the Ural Mountains, I stopped in the center of oil production - in the West Siberian Plain, which today occupies the first place in the world in the production of black gold. Then I flew east to the Atlantic Ocean. There, the powerful Gulf Stream washes the shores of the Kamchatka Peninsula and creates a sharply continental climate there. After visiting the famous Valley of Geysers, I returned home.

Well done! You have learned what geographical errors I make.

Getting acquainted with the characteristics of the mainland, we touched on all natural components. In order for information about the mainland to be complete, what else do we need to know about the mainland?

Problem: Why more than 4 billion people live on the Eurasian continent (Brainstorm).

The continent of Eurasia is the largest continent in terms of population and the number of states. And we move on to the topic of our today's lesson "Population and political map of Eurasia". Let's explore the mainland further.

Man has been living on the Eurasian continent for a very long time. There is reason to believe that some areas of East and South Asia are the ancestral home of the human race. The remains of human ancestors at different stages of development have been found here.

In Eurasia, the most ancient civilizations of the Earth are known in India, China, Mesopotamia, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

More than 4 billion people live on the Eurasian continent, ¾ of the world's population.

Sensational news.

7 billion inhabitants of the planet were born on the planet Earth. Every second the population increases by 3 people, and annually by 90 million people.

in front of you instruction card

Population and countries of Eurasia.

1. Man has been living in Eurasia for a very long time. There is reason to believe that some areas of East and South Asia are the ancestral home of the human race. The remains of human ancestors at different stages of development have been found here.

In Eurasia, the most ancient civilizations of the Earth are known:

In India

China

Mesopotamia,

On the coasts of the Mediterranean.

They played a big role in the development of human society.

On the territory of Eurasia there are large countries of the world in terms of area: Russia, China, USA, Canada, Australia and the smallest - Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Vatican, etc.

Group work. I give the children cut cards with the image of faces of representatives of different races (cut into four stripes - hair, eyes, nose, mouth)

From constituent parts collect cards. What did you get? - that's right, portraits of representatives of different times.

And who among you remembers what a race is? A race is a historically established group of people, distinguished on the basis of their kinship, unity of origin, which is manifested in external similarity (skin color, eyes, hair, skull shape, body length, etc.)

The population of Eurasia is diverse in racial and national composition. Most of the peoples of the European race.

Exercise. According to the table, describe the features of the races of Eurasia:

Caucasoid

1. Task. Determine the racial and national composition of Eurasia. What races live on the territory of Eurasia (definition of races)?

Groups of people with similar racial characteristics are called human races. According to the table, describe the features of the races of Eurasia. Why are there such differences in the appearance of representatives of different races, and why do each race have certain characteristics?

As a result of communication between peoples of different races, mixed races exist.

Conclusion: scientists believe that human races were formed as a result of adaptation to different conditions environment and these conditions have left their imprints on the representatives of the various races. On Earth, the equality of races is proclaimed. All races are equal. It has been proven that there are no higher or lower races. The equality of races has been proven by many scientists. One of them was N.N. Miklukho Maclay.

Working with the Peoples and Population Density of the World map

Task 1. What peoples, their families and groups live on the territory of Eurasia? Name and show on the map.

Task 2. Show on the map the most populated parts of the continent. What areas are underpopulated and why?

Religion.

On the territory of Eurasia emerged and received further development modern world religions

world religions

Buddhism Christianity Islam

Asia is the birthplace of all the major religions of the world. In Jerusalem, there are religious shrines of the three religions of Islam, Christianity and Judaism.

The political map of the world displays the territorial and political division of countries.

A map depicting the location and borders of states on the globe is called political map of the world .

There are more than 250 states in the world, and there are about 90 independent states in Eurasia. The countries of Eurasia according to the state structure are divided into republican and monarchical.

The republic is the legislative body of the parliament, the executive body is the government, and the president of the country exercises leadership on the basis of the constitution.

Monarchy - a form of government where the state is ruled by one person, and power is inherited from father to child

Monarchy

Absolute constitutional

Power is concentrated in power is limited

Exercise. Name the countries along the coast.

States that do not have access to the seas and oceans

Which states border the other nine?

1. Large countries in area Russia, China, India, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia

2. Highly developed states - Great Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Japan

3. Low level of economic development - Nepal, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos.

4. Oil-exporting countries - Libya, Saudi Arabia, the countries of the Persian Gulf.

5. "Dragons of Asia" - intensively developing South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Taiwan, Indonesia.

In the first half of the 1990s, two dozen states appeared on the former territory of the USSR and Yugoslavia. The sovereignty of the Czech Republic and Slovakia was proclaimed, Belgium moved from a unitary form of government to a federal one. Cambodia changed its form of government from republican to constitutional monarchy. Germany was reunited, many absolute monarchies in Asia became constitutional: Hong Kong and Macau became provinces of China from colonies.

Our world is multifaceted. The world of Eurasia consists of 101 states of the world (2010) large, medium, small, Republics and kingdoms, developed post-industrial countries and poor, lagging behind in their development. These are the Eiffel Tower and the English Big Ben, the Spanish bullfight and the Moscow Kremlin, the Great Chinese Wall, Sacred Fuji of Japan and the Catholic Vatican, this is young Astana and Ancient Rome. But one thing unites us all, we live on the same land, although we are different in skin color, religion and interests, we are inhabitants of the planet Earth.

Task "Guess the object" (define the country by description)

1. The Republic is called a country of natural contrasts. When there is still snow in the north, gardens and tulips bloom in the south at the foot of the mountains. The republic impresses not only with its size with natural resources, but also with generous hospitality. (Kazakhstan)

Eurasia is the largest continent on Earth, consisting of two parts of the world: Europe and Asia - it occupies 1/3 of all land on the planet, and is washed on all sides by the waters of the oceans. Due to its impressive area, the Eurasian continent has the most significant natural objects and a high population. Let us briefly consider this topic according to the description plan.

Relief features

Eurasia is the largest continent on our planet, occupying almost 54 million square meters. km. Its length from east to west is 18 thousand km, and from north to south - about 8 thousand km. The area of only one island belonging to the mainland is 3.5 million square meters. km. The area of Eurasia is so large that it contains 17 time zones.

The relief of Eurasia is different great variety: the world's largest flat platforms are located on the mainland and mountain systems. In addition, it is the highest continent on the globe, and its average height above sea level is about 830 m.

Here are the highest mountains in the world - the Himalayas, and the mountain systems of Tibet, the Pamirs, the Himalayas, the Tien Shan form the largest mountain region on the planet. There are active volcanoes on the islands of Southeast and East Asia, Kamchatka, the Mediterranean and Iceland, and these regions are characterized by high seismic activity.

Rice. 1. Himalayas.

The highest mountain on the planet is Everest or Chomolungma, whose height is 8848 m. It is located in the Himalayas and is famous among climbers for its harsh temper. Even for experienced climbers, climbing the peak of Everest takes about two months. Steep slopes and strong winds (up to 200 km/h) at the top of the mountain become a real test of strength.

The relief of the northern regions and some mountainous regions many years ago was under the influence of ancient glaciation. Currently, glaciers in Eurasia are located on the islands of the Arctic, in the highlands and Iceland.

Climate and natural areas

The climate of Eurasia is closely related to its large sizes and length from north to south.

Table “Eurasia: natural areas”

*natural area*	*Climate type*	*Geographic location*
Arctic deserts	Arctic	Islands of the Arctic Ocean
Tundra and forest tundra	Subarctic	Northern parts of Europe, part of Iceland
	temperate continental	Most of Russia, Scandinavian Peninsula, western Japan
mixed forests	Moderate	European part of Russia, Baltic countries
broadleaf forests	temperate maritime	East Pacific coast, European countries
Hardwood evergreen forests		Southern regions of European countries
Forest-steppes and steppes	Moderate	Kazakhstan, Black Sea region, northeast Mongolia
Deserts and semi-deserts	temperate, subtropical, tropical	China, Arabian Peninsula
Savannahs and woodlands	subequatorial	India, southeast Eurasia
Variable rainforests	monsoonal	Coast of the southeastern region of the mainland
Permanently humid equatorial forests	humid tropical	Indian Ocean Islands

A large number of natural zones of the mainland led to a great diversity of its flora and fauna. However, high population density and thoughtless human activity have led to the fact that many representatives of wild flora and fauna are under the threat of extinction.

Population of Eurasia

The continent of Eurasia is not only the largest on the planet, but also the most densely populated. About 5 billion people live on its territory, which is 3/4 of the population of the entire Earth.

The population density on the mainland is unevenly distributed, and this is caused by several factors:

natural;
climatic;
geopolitical.

The largest number of people live in economically developed countries with a high standard of living. An important role in the distribution of the population is played by belonging to a particular religion, established customs. For example, the standard of living in India is much lower than in Europe or China, but this country ranks second in the world in terms of population.

Rice. 3. Residents of China.

In all regions of the mainland, the urban ratio of urban and rural population not in favor of the latter. This is due to the fact that in large cities it is much easier to find a job with an acceptable salary and more comfortable living conditions.

Representatives of three major races live in Eurasia, which have the following characteristic features:

European race: fair skin, hair and eyes, in the inhabitants southern countries the skin tone is darker, the eyes and hair are also dark;
Mongoloid race: narrow slanting eyes, yellowish swarthy skin, a slightly flattened broad face, dark eyes and hair;
negroid race: the skin is very dark in color, the hair is dark, curly, wide flattened noses and full lips.

Lives in Eurasia a large number of peoples and nationalities who were able to form a unique, original culture.

What have we learned?

When studying the topic "Eurasia" in the 7th grade geography program, we learned that Eurasia is the largest continent on the planet, with a diverse topography, natural areas, rich flora and fauna. We found out where the border between Asia and Europe is, what is the population density of the mainland and what factors it depends on. This information will be very useful for children in grades 5-7.

Learning new material.

Actualization of knowledge, transition to a joint definition of the topic and purpose of the lesson.

The continent of Eurasia is Olympic champion among all the continents of the world. Let's remember what records the mainland can be proud of:

It is the largest continent in terms of area.
The only continent that washes all four oceans.
The highest mountains are the Himalayas.
Most deep lake- Baikal. (1620 m)
The largest sea - lake - Caspian
The lowest place on earth is the Dead Sea and the saltiest.
The largest peninsula is Arabian.
All climatic zones and natural zones of the northern hemisphere are found on this mainland.

I want to show you one video that I ask you to remember another mainland record.

Watching a video about China. (Atlas of Discovery. China 1.16 min)

On the mainland is the country that ranks first in terms of population in the world. And today we will get acquainted with the population of Eurasia.

What would you like to know about the population of the mainland? (location of the population of Eurasia, racial composition of the population of Eurasia, peoples of Eurasia, religious composition of the population of Eurasia, countries)

We have to find out:

1. The number and distribution of the population;

2. The racial composition of the population of Eurasia

3. National composition

4. Regions and countries.

This is the purpose of our lesson.

The number and distribution of the population.

Table analysis (presentation slide 2)

Compare the population of Eurasia with the population of other continents. What conclusion can be drawn from such a comparison?

Lives in Eurasia3/4 of the world's population.

The population is about 4.5 billion people.

How did man appear on the Eurasian continent?

Work with text. pair work. (Appendix 1)

Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

What did you learn about the settlement of Eurasia?
What ancient civilizations do you know, show them on the map.

Conclusion : Man has been living on the Eurasian continent for a very long time. There is reason to believe that some areas of East and South Asia are the ancestral home of the human race. The remains of human ancestors at different stages of development have been found here.

And how the population is located on the mainland, we will determine by analyzing the map “Population density. Peoples» pp.18-19.

Analysis of the map “Population density. Peoples".

Determine from the map:

Weakly populated territories of Eurasia.

Northeast of Eurasia, Central Asia, Tibet mountains, Gobi deserts, Takla-Makan.

Areas with high population density.

East Asia, Hindustan Peninsula, Europe.

What factors does a person use when choosing a place of residence?

Relief, climate, proximity to rivers, lakes, seas.

Working with statistical material.(appendix 2)

Determine from the table the countries with the largest and smallest land area.
From the table "Population of the world" select the countries of Eurasia that are among the ten largest in terms of population.

Dynamic pause.

Map Analysis "The racial composition of the population"

What races are the peoples of Eurasia? List the racial traits. A race is a historically established group of people, distinguished on the basis of their kinship, unity of origin, which is manifested in external similarity (skin color, eyes, hair, skull shape, body length, etc.)

Conclusion: On the territory of Eurasia, the population of the Caucasoid and Mongoloid races lives, on the islands of the Malay Archipelago, the population of the Negroid race.

The population of Eurasia is diverse in terms of national composition.

How can you distinguish a representative of one nationality from another (according to national costume, customs, traditions).

But the main hallmark - it's a language. Representatives of 40 nationalities live in Russia on the territory of the Republic of Dagestan, their villages are located 10 kilometers from each other, but they do not understand each other, because they do not understand each other. speak different languages. Many nationalities are rare or very rare. On the map, name the peoples whose number is less than 10 million people. And now the peoples, the number of which is the largest.

All nations deserve respect. The famous French writer Victor Hugo said: "The greatness of a people is not at all measured by its number, just as the greatness of a person is not measured by his height." "Each and the smallest nation is a unique facet of God's plan" Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

And now small"experiment". During the experiment I want to find out how you know a foreign language?

I ask you to translate what I say. In Belarusian: “Den is good”, in Bulgarian: “Hello”, in Serbian: “Good is given”, in Ukrainian: “Healthy bula”. Raise your hands, are there Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Serbs in the class? Why do we understand these languages? Nationalities with a similar language are combined into linguistic groups , and groups into language families. To which language family do the peoples that I have just named (to the Slavic language family).

Working with the textbook.

Checking presentation slides.

On May 24, Russia celebrates the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. The holiday is known as the day of memory of the first teachers of the Slavic peoples - the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles brothers Cyril and Methodius. These saints are revered in other countries as the creators of the alphabet.This is not just a tribute to the memory of the founders of Slavic writing, Cyril and Methodius, but also a symbol of the unity of the Slavic peoples, their inextricable historical connection and common cultural heritage.

Roots united us
