Themes of the year 2016
Part 1. Briefly about the history of the theater. Part 2. Briefly about the history of writing. Part 3. Briefly about the history of the Olympic Games. 
Today, the Day of Heroes of the Fatherland was held at the All-Russian Center "Ocean". As part of the event, the participants of the 14th session of the "Young Leaders of Russia" wrote "Historical Dictation". The event was held thanks to the project "Every Day I'm Proud of Russia" (KDGR), which is gaining its popularity every day.
The organizer of the all-Russian action was the Youth Parliament under State Duma. The tasks of the test "Historical dictation" were compiled by scientists of the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov.
In 40 minutes, the guys answered 40 questions about Patriotic history. The assignments were not easy. Participants answered questions about Nobel laureates, O Russian emperors and historical sights of the country.
Immediately after the dictation, the teachers provided the correct answers to the oceans, and the children were able to learn new and Interesting Facts. It should be noted that some guys tested their knowledge in the history of Primorsky Krai: they were asked 5 additional questions.
We are sure that the test is the best occasion to remember important events from the life of the country and learn about the people who contributed huge contribution in its development. They made great discoveries, were revolutionaries and fighters for the freedom and equality of people. Young shift leaders consider it necessary to conduct such dictations at least once a year, because they help children develop comprehensively!

Thematic dictations in history lessons
A constant problem of school educational process is the current monitoring of student progress. There are four generally accepted forms for this:
- The student's answer is on the blackboard.
- Test.
- Independent work.
- Testing.
An interesting and important form of control ishistorical dictation or thematic dictation
The dictation method is as follows:
Preparation . The history teacher is preparing a dictation on the topic. This is usually 20 questions and 20 answers divided into two options. The dictation can be developed independently or taken ready-made.
Holding . At the end or at other times of the lesson (the teacher decides depending on the situation), a dictation on the topic is announced. Students write to separate sheets paper only numbers of questions and answers to them. In total, 10-12 minutes are allotted for the dictation.
Examination . For each correct answer, the student receives one point. A half answer can be estimated at 0.5 points, etc. Overall rating obtained by summing the points scored by the student. In this case, the teacher first determines general level answers, focusing on the lowest and highest scores scored by students. Then he proportionally translates the scores into the grading system. As practice shows, no one writes a dictation for a grade of "2", usually the grade is in the range from "3" to "5".
Discussion . Since such a dictation is competitive in nature and the students are keenly interested in its results, they actively respond to the analysis of the work proposed by the teacher.
Distribution of works. It is made only at the end of the lesson, otherwise even the most exemplary students from the dictation sheets will begin to fold the airplanes.
Features of historical dictations
The main methodological feature of historical dictations is a playful nature based on "immersion" in the historical period under study with a mental, figurative reconstruction historical events. Of course, the topic should correspond to the material being studied, and the dictation questions should correspond to the program, textbook, teacher's story.
In the dictation itself, its construction plays an important role. The sequence of questions should be logical and at the same time exclude the monotony of perception. After reading out the question by the teacher, the student should have some kind of cheerful emotion: oh! it's easy! Wow! like this? yeah, list it, but how? and so on. Therefore, the types of questions should be consistently different. For example, following the question of the topic “The Decembrist Uprising”: “What were the goals of the rebels on December 14, 1825?” (a difficult question, on the ability to understand the situation) - the question follows: “Who was appointed dictator of the uprising?” (a simple question for memory).
Since the dictation in two options is optimal, then the parallel questions of the options should be of the same type. For example, on the topic "Unification of Italy in the 19th century." question 1 of option 1: “Name a famous Russian scientist, geographer and sociologist who fought in the ranks of the Garibaldians in 1860?” (L.I. Mechnikov) - should be supported by the same kind of question of option 2: "Name the famous Russian surgeon who treated G. Garibaldi, who was wounded during the campaign of 1862?" (N.I. Pirogov). Violation of this rule upsets the entire dictation, since the students rightly believe that the conditions for them should be the same.
Question types
The types of questions should be different. In addition, no matter how questions are constructed, they must contain either an interrogative word (when, who, where, etc.) or an indication (name, list, etc.).
The question is simple. When and by whom was printing invented in Europe? Here you only need to specify the date and name. This is a memory question.
Sports question.“What kind of food was mainly consumed in Rus' in the XIII-XV centuries?” Here it is necessary to connect the imagination to memory, but not to get into trouble by mentioning, for example, potatoes.
Question for erudition. "What is parchment?" In answering this question, it is necessary to briefly highlight the parchment manufacturing technology, which is rather difficult, and explain the name, which is easier.
Collections of historical dictations
Dictations can be used not only for current control academic performance. The set of dictations for a one-year course, for example, “Thematic dictations on the history of the Fatherland of the 19th century,” acquires a new quality. In fact, this is a history course, but presented concisely and concisely and, most attractively, requiring (unlike a textbook) an active form of perception. Independent assimilation of the material contained in one historical dictation or carried out in the form of a dialogue, mobilizes thinking and makes this assimilation effective and fast.
At the same time, it must be remembered that the thematic dictation is not just ten tasks, the answers to which “see. at the end of the problem book. Thematic dictation is: 20 questions in 2 options + 20 answers in 2 options + their qualitative sum. When submitting a thematic dictation in writing, both questions and answers should be placed on the same spread. The fact is that the very reading of the question-answer pair requires more effort than simple reading.
For those who want to test themselves, no one forbids closing the answer or, conversely, the question in order to formulate them themselves. In fact, the course of history in thematic dictations - parallel to the narrative one - awakens other reasons for interest in history - it causes a desire to compete and discuss.
