Class hour on the topic "Shame and Conscience", grades 7-8

By the age of 12-13, adolescents are already well acquainted with such a moral category as conscience. But they do not include it among the priority values. Moreover, many adolescents note that conscience interferes with living by the laws. modern society... They see numerous proofs of this on TV screens every day. Meanwhile, according to the Russian Orthodox tradition, by the age of 12-13, a person must have a sufficiently mature conscience (after all, from the age of 7, a child is allowed to confession), which means that he must subject all his thoughts and actions to rigorous examination and analysis. Due to their activity and sociability, adolescents often commit acts that they cannot evaluate based on their life experience. In such cases, the voice of conscience may be the only force that can save a teenager from error or crime. According to the authors, the class hour on the topic "Shame and Conscience" will be very relevant in the 7th grade.

Class hour

I. Test question

Classroom teacher... Guys, I have a question for you Imagine that you have done a very bad thing. For this

the teacher can call the parents, or he can just say in front of the whole class: "You have no shame, no conscience!" What do you think is scarier?

(The teacher gives the names of the children, invites them to speak.)

Examples of children's answers:

A more terrible challenge from parents, and then I can show the teacher that I have a conscience.

Better a minute of shame in front of the class than in front of the parents.

If the teacher calls the parents, it means that he thinks that I am not a completely lost person and that I have a conscience.

If he says that, then he waved his hand at me - it is better to call the parents!

It is not shameful to call parents to school, and such words are a shame.

Not parents!

I don't care!

II. Problematic situation. The story "Shards in the heart"

Classroom teacher. It was a test question. He showed that some of you have a deep sleep in your conscience. But someday she will still wake up like the hero of this little story.

Listen to what it says. (Reads the story.)

One day a young man was walking down the street and saw a blind man with a mug of change at his feet. Either the man was in a bad mood, or something else, he just threw fragments of broken glass into this mug and went on. 50 years have passed. This man has achieved everything in life. And children, and grandchildren, and money, and a good house, and universal respect - he already had everything. Only this episode from a distant youth did not give him rest. His conscience tormented him, gnawed, did not let him sleep. And in his declining years, he decided to find a blind man and repent. I came to the city where I was born and raised, and the blind man still sits in the same place with the same mug.

Do you remember that many years ago someone threw broken glass into your mug - it was me. Forgive me, the man said.

I threw those fragments away on the same day, and you carried them in your heart for 50 years, ”the blind man answered.

III. Interactive conversation

Classroom teacher.

Is it possible to say at what time the events of this story took place?

Why did the hero of the story throw the pieces into the blind man's mug?

When do you think he had a pang of conscience?

Do you think the hero of the story will bring up good children?

Why do you think the hero of the story remembered all his life about some poor, blind old man?

With what words did the blind man express this painful remorse? (You have carried these shards in your heart for 50 years.)

How would you title this story? ("Shards in the Heart", "Remorse," "Conscience", etc.)

IV. Vocabulary work

Classroom teacher. What is conscience? shame? We will be told about this (names, surnames). They worked with dictionaries and figured out the meaning of these words.

(Two students come up to the blackboard, read vocabulary articles.)

Disciple I. The Russian poet Alexander Yashin once wrote the following lines:

In our innumerable wealth

There are precious words:

Fatherland,

Fidelity,

Brotherhood.

And there is more:

Disciple 2. Conscience is a precious word.

Pupil 1. Here is how the meaning of this word is explained in SI's dictionaries. Ozhegov and V.I. Dahl. (He reads his notes.) Conscience is the inner consciousness of good and evil, the “secret place of the soul,” in which the approval or condemnation of every action, the ability to recognize the quality of the action, is echoed.

Pupil 2. Very strong expressions are used with this word: people say: "conscience gnaws," "conscience torments," "conscience does not let sleep," "pangs of conscience," "remorse," "conscience spoke." It is very good when you do something with a clear conscience, with a clear conscience. People who act according to their conscience are called conscientious, conscientious.

Disciple 1. Here is how the word "shame" is explained. (Reads.) This is a feeling of intense embarrassment, self-condemnation from the consciousness of the reprehensibility of an act, of guilt.

Disciple 2. Shame is a very strong feeling. People say: “you can burn out of shame,” “you can sink into the earth out of shame,” “blush with shame,” “I don’t know where to go from shame.”

Pupil 1. “In whom is shame, in that is also conscience,” says a Russian proverb. It shows well the connection between these two concepts.

Pupil 2. In the dictionaries we have found many proverbs about conscience and shame. We wrote these proverbs on the chalkboard.

(Read proverbs.)

V. Game "What should you be ashamed of?"

Classroom teacher. Now let's talk about the opposite concepts. Shamelessness, arrogance, insolence are dangerous vices of the soul. At first, a shameless person is indifferent to what people think of him, and then he becomes indifferent to his own fate.

What do you think should be ashamed in life and why? Let's play a game. I will read the words, and you answer in chorus "ashamed" or "not ashamed." (Option: Raise your hands if you think you should be ashamed of it.)

(The teacher reads.)

Physical disabilities;

Ugly actions;

Shabby but neat clothing;

Old fashioned clothes;

Sloppy look;

Not a prestigious job for parents;

Your "simple" origin;

Ignorance, ignorance, illiteracy;

Vulgar appearance;

A rude, soulless attitude towards people.

I am very glad that you have correctly identified what to be ashamed of. I would like your inner judge - conscience - to help you distinguish between good and evil just as well in life.

Classroom teacher. Life often confronts a person with a choice: to do according to conscience or against conscience. And everyone should make this choice not for the sake of praise or for show, but for the sake of truth, for the sake of duty to himself. By this decision, people will judge a person.

Let's look at three situations. Will it be difficult for you to act according to your conscience?

1. Situation one

You buy milk in the store, and the seller mistakenly gives you an extra five rubles with change. What will you do?

(Children speak up.)

2. Situation two

You copied the entire dictation from a neighbor on a desk. But the teacher n ° to the neighbor gave “3”, and to you “5”, because he did not notice the three gross mistakes that he saw in her notebook. Your actions?

(Children speak up.)

3. Situation three

For spring break, the class and the homeroom teacher are planning a trip to the forest. There is a stormy preparation for a fun journey. But suddenly an emergency occurs in the classroom: someone tore the tap off the fire extinguisher and filled the entire floor in the chemistry room with foam. The class teacher asks the culprit to confess and put the class in order. But nobody confesses. The class teacher then punishes the entire class and the trip is canceled. You know that a friend of yours ripped the crane off the fire extinguisher. How can one act in good faith in this case?

(Children speak up.)

Vii. Problematic situation "Court of Conscience"

Classroom teacher. Conscience is our inner judge that helps us distinguish good from evil. Thoughts, deeds, words - all a person should subject to the strict judgment of his conscience. And what a relief you feel when you remove the heaviness from your soul, you clear your conscience.

Listen to a story from a former student of mine.

In the 7th grade, Sergei was a naughty, hooligan boy. The guys considered him a leader because he constantly came up with all kinds of entertainment.

Once in class, he managed to steal a bag with removable shoes from a girl, Tanya Ivanova, and throw it out the open window. The kids, seeing other people's old shoes, threw them into a deep puddle.

After the lessons the guys had a match with 7 "B", and Sergei completely forgot about these unfortunate shoes. He ran home, had lunch, changed his clothes, and then honestly stood at the goal for an hour and a half, without conceding a single goal.

Already in the last minutes of the match, he saw Ivanova come out of the school door, how she spanked in her slippers in the mud, smearing tears on her cheeks. Sergei called the guys, and they laughed, looking at this unwilling.

And in the evening they had a scandal at the entrance. Shouts were heard from the Ivanovs' apartment. The drunken father shouted that he would make Tanya walk barefoot or in tarpaulin boots, since she does not know how to take care of her things.

Sergey put on his headphones, turned on the music and began to do his homework. For some reason I didn't want to laugh at all. And at night he could not sleep in any way, something disgustingly scratched in his heart, interfered, did not give rest. He recalled all the events of the day: the tear-stained Ivanova, plopping through the puddles in house slippers, the voice of her drunk father, the plaintive babble of her mother - no matter how persuading himself Sergei, no matter how he justified, it turned out that he was to blame for everything. wiser, Sergei fell asleep.

And the next morning ambulance took Ivanova to the hospital with pneumonia. Here Sergey realized how conscience can gnaw.

He had money that he saved for a bike. In a shoe store, Sergei bought with this money women's shoes of size 38, like his mother's, and went to the hospital to visit Ivanova.

He said that he came on behalf of the class teacher, put a bag of shoes on the bed and ran away. He did not dare to ask for forgiveness from Ivanova.

Arriving home, he turned on the computer out of habit, put on headphones, turned on the music. And suddenly, remembering Ivanova's pitiful, frightened and surprised face, Sergei for some reason burst into tears. He cried for several minutes and, oddly enough, felt such relief, as if a huge, heavy stone had fallen from his soul.

Soon the Ivanov family moved to a new apartment, and after an illness, Tanya moved to another school.

Many years passed, Sergei became an officer, captain of the first rank. The ninth graders invited him for a class hour to talk about the profession of a naval officer.

Then Sergei decided to tell this story for some reason.

Why do you think Sergei felt relieved when he bought Tanya boots?

And why did he cry?

Examples of children's answers:

He tried to make amends.

Conscience told him that he did everything right.

Conscience opened his eyes and he could feel the pain of another person.

He had to do something to atone for his guilt.

He wept with pity and annoyance with himself.

They were tears of relief, cleansing.

He cried with joy: the girl would not be offended by him now.

Classroom teacher. How can you make amends for your shameless act?

Examples of children's answers:

You can ask forgiveness from the one you offended.

Believers can repent in confession.

Promise yourself that you will never do this again.

There are three good things you can do.

Classroom teacher. Here is what Abkhazian writer Fazil Iskander said about conscience: “Is it possible to educate conscience? In addition to the rarest freaks, every person has a conscience, albeit weakly expressed. If a person with a weakly expressed conscience falls into a team that he values, he tries to adhere to generally accepted moral norms. At first, he is ashamed not so much of a shameless act as of its announcement. But this is upbringing, and, as in any upbringing, correct behavior eventually becomes a habit. "

I would like each of us to act according to their conscience and this has become a habit for him.

VIII. Exercises for Conscience

1. "Minute of remorse"

Classroom teacher. All human life consists of such situations. At every step we make a choice between good and evil. In order not to be mistaken, you need to constantly hear the voice of your conscience. This voice will tell us whether our actions are good or bad. And so that the conscience is not silent, you need to train it, as muscles and the mind are trained - you need to make it constantly work, do exercises. Exercise of conscience is the inner work of the mind and heart, when a person reflects on what was good, what was bad for the day, mentally puts himself in the place of another, tries to see the consequences of his actions, knows how to look at his actions through the eyes of people whom he respects. With such work, the conscience will not be silent and will always be the inner judge of a person. Otherwise - wandering in the dark. Let's now (whoever has the courage) do this exercise. Let's think for a minute, remember our bad deeds, of which we deeply regret. Let's call this exercise "Minute of Repentance."

(Music sounds. For one minute the children think about their actions.)

Raise your hands, who wants to clear their conscience, to repent of a bad deed.

(Children raise their hands, talk about their bad deeds.)

Repentance is a great feeling. It cleanses and heals a person. Even doctors admit that remorse heals the worst illnesses that medicine is powerless against. “The sword does not cut the guilty head,” says a Russian proverb.

2. "Minute of forgiveness"

Classroom teacher. A second helpful exercise in conscience is asking for forgiveness.

You know that our people have been celebrating Maslenitsa all this week.

The last day of Shrovetide is called "Forgiveness Sunday". On this day, it is customary to ask everyone for forgiveness. When people meet, they kiss and say to each other: "Forgive me, please." In response, you need to say: "God will forgive you."

Maybe there are daredevils who will want to ask for forgiveness from those whom they offended?

(Children raise their hands at will, ask for forgiveness from classmates, from the teacher.)

I advise you to do this exercise at home, and on Forgiveness Sunday ask everyone for forgiveness.

IX. Interactive conversation "What to do with impudent people?"

Classroom teacher. But what if a person has no conscience? Is it good for him to live in the world? Examples of children's answers:

Live well, you can sleep well.

Everyone envies the impudent, impudent people achieve more in life.

Of course, good, impudence is the second happiness.

It will be good for him for the time being, until he is treated shamelessly. And then he will immediately remember his misdeeds and conscience will wake up in him.

He may achieve something, but people will not respect him. Classroom teacher. How can one awaken conscience in a shameless person?

Examples of children's answers:

He needs to speak directly to him about everything, to criticize.

A boycott must be declared.

Do not shake hands, do not greet.

We need to arrange a public trial.

Classroom teacher. I agree with you. If a person acts shamelessly, dishonestly, those around him should shame him. Better a bitter truth than a beautiful lie. Maybe this will awaken the conscience in a person, it will make a person ashamed.

X. Summing up (reflection)

Classroom teacher. Our conversation has come to an end. Do you think this conversation awakened your conscience?

Examples of children's answers:

It seems to me my conscience is awake. But the conversation was helpful.

Maybe someone will feel ashamed, but talking alone will not awaken conscience.

On Sunday, I will apologize to everyone and try not to do wrong anymore.

Objectives:clarify the meaning of such moral categories as conscience, shame, repentance; to form the ability to be critical of oneself, to give an honest assessment of their actions; encourage children to self-analysis, to reflect on themselves, to search for high moral ideals.

In the turmoil of today's life, a person sometimes forgets about these concepts. I suggest you stop today and talk about it.

How would you define these concepts? (answer options).

Now let's look at the dictionary (slide number 2)

3. Vocabulary work. "Shame" and "conscience"

Here is how the meaning of this word "conscience" is explained in the dictionaries of Ozhegov and Dahl (reads his notes):

Conscience is the inner consciousness of good and evil, the "secret place of the soul", in which the approval or condemnation of each deed, the ability to recognize the quality of the deed is echoed.

And here is how the meaning of the word is explained “Shame” is a feeling of intense embarrassment, self-condemnation from the consciousness of the reprehensibility of an act, of guilt.

To emphasize the importance and power of these two concepts, I invite you to remember what expressions are used with these words?

Very strong expressions are used with this word: people say: « gnaws conscience "," conscience torments "," conscience does not let sleep "," pangs of conscience "," remorse "," conscience spoke. " It is very good when you do something with a "clear conscience", with a "clear conscience."

People say: “you can burn out of shame,” “die of shame,” “you can sink into the earth out of shame,” “blush with shame,” “I don’t know where to go from shame.”

« In whom is shame, in that is conscience, ”says a Russian proverb. It shows well the connection between these two concepts.

We can say that proverbs reflect folk wisdom, its attitude to anything that has developed over the centuries. Here are some proverbs that talk about shame and conscience:

(slide number 3)

  1. No matter how wise you are, you can't be too smart about your conscience.
  2. A conscience without teeth will bite.

Classroom teacher. All human life consists of such situations. At every step we make a choice between good and evil. In order not to be mistaken, you need to constantly hear the voice of your conscience. This voice will tell us whether our actions are good or bad.

In whom is shame, in that is conscience.

(Russian proverb)

Conversation:


  1. What do you think is most important in a person?

  2. What place does conscience take in the hierarchy of human values?

  3. Give a definition of conscience. Try to portray your conscience as a symbol.

Conscience is our inner judge.(Holbach)

Conscience is a clawed beast scraping a heart.(L. Landau)

In whom is the shame that's the conscience (Russian proverb)

Shame is one of the most important moral categories when it comes to the popular understanding of morality. This concept is on a par with honor and conscience, about which Alexander Yashin says:

In our innumerable wealth

There are precious words:

Fatherland,

Fidelity,

Brotherhood.

And there is also:

Honour.


Conscience-the concept of moral consciousness, inner conviction of what is good and evil, the consciousness of moral responsibility for one's behavior; the expression of the ability to exercise moral self-control, independently formulate moral obligations for oneself, demand from oneself to fulfill them and make a self-assessment of the actions performed.

The concept of conscience is a moral, root concept. How we build a house, how we draw a drawing, how we make discoveries, how we extract oil, raise children, heal people, communicate with comrades - conscience has to do with every act that can be assessed on a moral scale. Conscience is the inner work of the mind and the heart is the inner voice of a person. A person becomes a moral personality only when conscience, shame, responsibility and duty have settled in his soul forever. These are the four most important sources that nourish human moral prowess and culture. They are interconnected and closely intertwined.

Conscience, nobility and dignity-

Here it is our holy army.

Give him your palm

It's not scary for him and into the fire.

His face is high and amazing.

Dedicate your short century to him.

Maybe you won’t be the winner

But then you will die as a person.

Conscience, nobility

And dignity ...

(B. Okudzhava)

2. What is the nature of conscience?

Do you think this feeling is innate?

The Holy Scripture tells that God created man in his own image and likeness. He created man to be sinless and put a conscience in his soul. But already the first people broke the law of conscience and sinned by eating the forbidden fruit.

When God created man, he breathed into him something Divine, as if some special ability containing, like a spark of fire, warmth and light, so that it illuminates his mind and shows him the difference between good and evil. It is called conscience, which is the law of nature.

(St. Dorotheos)

The demands of conscience are what in Christian language is called the will of God. The fulfillment of the will of God is the main business of man.

3. Have you experienced a pang of conscience? What does the person in whom the conscience speaks feel?

Conscience signals us about disturbances in our body, just as pain does. Only pain signals physiological violations, and conscience signals ethical violations. The similarity is enhanced by the fact that conscience sometimes overwhelms the physiological sphere - the heart pounds, the cheeks turn red. A moral burn resembles a physical one. As pain is useful to our physical body by warning of danger, so is conscience. Dullness or absence of painful sensations threatens the body with death. Conscience lives in our soul only on the nourishing soil of conscience and shame. Shamelessness is a dangerous threshold of the soul. At first, a shameless person is indifferent to what people think of him, and then it comes to that - his own fate is indifferent. Impudence, meanness, betrayal - each of these vices is a child of shamelessness and emptiness of the soul.

He did not know the strict lessons of conscience

And blindly walked the path of passions.

Shame and conscience are almost synonymous. And it is not for nothing that the people say: there is shame, there is also conscience. Shame is stronger than the most severe punishment from the outside, because it is a punishment of one's own conscience and one's own conscience.

An impure conscience is frightened by every look.

Honor and reward for the worthy

(Indian wisdom)

4. What do you think is worth being ashamed of in life and why:

* physical disabilities;

* unseemly acts;

* worn but neat clothes;

* sloppy look;

* social status of parents;

* ignorance;

* your appearance;

* soulless attitude towards others;

* something else.

5. It is a shame to lie to other people, but should a person be honest with himself?

A. S. Makarenko has wonderful words: “It is necessary that a person does the right thing, according to his conscience, not when they look at him, hear him, can praise him, but when no one sees, and will never know how it was. We must do the right thing for the sake of truth, for the sake of a duty to ourselves. " In life, a person often has to make the only right decision himself - according to conscience, according to inner conviction. Here he is his own judge. And by what decision he made, people judge what kind of person he is.

6. Consider the situation.

What will you do?

What feeling will make you confess?

You won't tell anyone;

Be sure to say;

If you say, then: certainly with the whole class; alone to one teacher?

Situation.

Yesterday you had a math test in your class. Today the teacher announced the results, you - "five"! However, when notebooks were distributed and you looked over your work again, you saw that the teacher did not notice a very gross error in it. There can be no five! The five was received completely undeservedly. Your work is at best at "four", or even at all at "three".

7. To become agile and strong, exercise the body, to learn how to solve problems well, exercise the mind. Is it possible to exercise conscience? How?

Instead of a lamp, when considering your actions, use your conscience, it shows you what actions in your life are good and what are bad.

(Reverend Neil)

Exercise of conscience is a subtle inner work of the mind and heart.

It occurs in activities, in actions, in reflections on their behavior. The eyes of conscience are thought. You need to learn to reflect on what is around me and in me, mentally put yourself in the place of another, see the consequences of each of your actions, subject your activities to a mental review from the most honest, most demanding people. The voice of the inner “I” speaks in a person only when he has become accustomed from an early age to feel that he is in full view of people.

8. How to awaken conscience in a shameless person?

It is very important how the environment reacts, those around, if a person acts shamelessly, dishonestly. If it burns through the shell of his ambition and egoism, the person's conscience will awaken, and the person will become ashamed. So, for example, as it happened with the hero of the poem by Boris Zakhoder.


A tomato.

In the garden Tomato Ay-ay-ay, Tomato!

Perched on the fence: Shame on you and shame!

He pretends, you wretch, Old Bow was upset:

As if he himself is a gardener. I hate such things!

Aunt Repa was indignant: Ai-ay-ay, Tomato!

This is stupid and ridiculous! Shame on you and shame!

Ay-ay-ay, Tomato, the tomboy blushed,

Shame on you and shame! Finally ashamed

Uncle Cucumber shouted: And the rank rolled by rank

Disgusting! Tomboy! To the gardener in the basket.

Class hour on the topic "Shame and Conscience", grades 7-8

By the age of 12-13, adolescents are already well acquainted with such a moral category as conscience. But they do not include it among the priority values. Moreover, many adolescents note that conscience interferes with living according to the laws of modern society. They see numerous proofs of this on TV screens every day. Meanwhile, according to the Russian Orthodox tradition, by the age of 12-13 a person must have a sufficiently mature conscience (after all, from the age of 7, a child is allowed to confession), which means that he must subject all his thoughts and actions to rigorous examination and analysis. Due to their activity and sociability, adolescents often commit acts that they cannot evaluate based on their life experience. In such cases, the voice of conscience may be the only force that can save a teenager from error or crime. According to the authors, the class hour on the topic "Shame and Conscience" will be very relevant in the 7th grade.

Class hour

I. Test question

Classroom teacher. Guys, I have a question for you Imagine that you have done a very bad thing. For this

the teacher can call the parents, or he can just say in front of the whole class: "You have no shame, no conscience!" What do you think is scarier?

(The teacher gives the names of the children, invites them to speak.)

Examples of children's answers:

A more terrible challenge from parents, and then I can show the teacher that I have a conscience.

Better a minute of shame in front of the class than in front of the parents.

If the teacher calls the parents, it means that he thinks that I am not a completely lost person and that I have a conscience.

If he says that, then he waved his hand at me - it's better to call the parents!

It is not shameful to call parents to school, and such words are a shame.

Not parents!

I don't care!

II. Problematic situation. The story "Shards in the heart"

Classroom teacher. It was a test question. He showed that some of you have a deep sleep in your conscience. But someday she will still wake up like the hero of this little story.

Listen to what it says. (Reads the story.)

One day a young man was walking down the street and saw a blind man with a mug of change at his feet. Either the man was in a bad mood, or something else, he just threw fragments of broken glass into this mug and went on. 50 years have passed. This man has achieved everything in life. And children, and grandchildren, and money, and a good house, and universal respect - he already had everything. Only this episode from a distant youth did not give him rest. His conscience tormented him, gnawed, did not let him sleep. And in his declining years, he decided to find a blind man and repent. I came to the city where I was born and raised, and the blind man still sits in the same place with the same mug.

Do you remember that many years ago someone threw broken glass into your mug - it was me. Forgive me, the man said.

I threw those fragments away on the same day, and you carried them in your heart for 50 years, - answered the blind man.

III. Interactive conversation

Classroom teacher.

Is it possible to say at what time the events of this story took place?

Why did the hero of the story throw the pieces into the blind man's mug?

When do you think he had a pang of conscience?

Do you think the hero of the story will bring up good children?

Why do you think the hero of the story remembered all his life about some poor, blind old man?

With what words did the blind man express this agonizing remorse? (You have carried these shards in your heart for 50 years.)

How would you title this story? ("Shards in the Heart", "Remorse," "Conscience", etc.)

IV. Vocabulary work

Classroom teacher. What is conscience? shame? We will be told about this (names, surnames). They worked with dictionaries and figured out the meaning of these words.

(Two students come up to the blackboard, read vocabulary articles.)

Disciple I. The Russian poet Alexander Yashin once wrote the following lines:

In our innumerable wealth

There are precious words:

Fatherland,

Fidelity,

Brotherhood.

And there is more:

Conscience,

Honour.

Disciple 2. Conscience is a precious word.

Pupil 1. Here is how the meaning of this word is explained in SI's dictionaries. Ozhegov and V.I. Dahl. (He reads his notes.) Conscience is the inner consciousness of good and evil, the “secret place of the soul,” in which the approval or condemnation of every action, the ability to recognize the quality of the action, is echoed.

Pupil 2. Very strong expressions are used with this word: people say: "conscience gnaws," "conscience torments," "conscience does not let sleep," "pangs of conscience," "remorse," "conscience spoke." It is very good when you do something with a clear conscience, with a clear conscience. People who act according to their conscience are called conscientious, conscientious.

Disciple 1. Here is how the word "shame" is explained. (Reads it.) This is a feeling of intense embarrassment, self-condemnation from the consciousness of the reprehensibility of an act, of guilt.

Disciple 2. Shame is a very strong feeling. People say: “you can burn out of shame,” “you can sink into the earth out of shame,” “blush with shame,” “I don’t know where to go from shame.”

Pupil 1. “In whom is shame, in that is also conscience,” says a Russian proverb. It shows well the connection between these two concepts.

Pupil 2. In the dictionaries we have found many proverbs about conscience and shame. We wrote these proverbs on the chalkboard.

(Read proverbs.)

V. Game "What should you be ashamed of?"

Classroom teacher. Now let's talk about the opposite concepts. Shamelessness, arrogance, insolence are dangerous vices of the soul. A shameless person is at first indifferent to what people think of him, and then he becomes indifferent to his own fate.

What do you think should be ashamed in life and why? Let's play a game. I will read the words, and you answer in chorus "ashamed" or "not ashamed." (Option: Raise your hands if you think you should be ashamed of it.)

(The teacher reads.)

Physical disabilities;

ugly actions;

worn but neat clothes;

old-fashioned clothes;

sloppy look;

not prestigious work of parents;

your "simple" origin;

ignorance, ignorance, illiteracy;

vulgar appearance;

rude, soulless attitude towards people.

I am very glad that you have correctly identified what to be ashamed of. I would like your inner judge - conscience - to help you distinguish between good and evil just as well in life.

Vi. Situations of choice "Voice of Conscience"

Classroom teacher. Life often confronts a person with a choice: to do according to conscience or against conscience. And everyone should make this choice not for the sake of praise or for show, but for the sake of truth, for the sake of duty to himself. By this decision, people will judge a person.

Let's look at three situations. Will it be difficult for you to act according to your conscience?

1. Situation one

You buy milk in the store, and the seller mistakenly gives you an extra five rubles with change. What will you do?

(Children speak up.)

2. Situation two

You copied the entire dictation from a neighbor on a desk. But the teacher n ° to the neighbor gave “3”, and to you “5”, because he did not notice the three gross mistakes that he saw in her notebook. Your actions?

(Children speak up.)

3. Situation three

For spring break, the class and the homeroom teacher are planning a trip to the woods. There is a stormy preparation for a fun journey. But suddenly an emergency occurs in the classroom: someone tore off the tap from the fire extinguisher and covered the entire floor in the chemistry room with foam. The class teacher asks the culprit to confess and put the class in order. But nobody confesses. The class teacher then punishes the entire class and the trip is canceled. You know that a friend of yours ripped the crane off the fire extinguisher. How can one act in good faith in this case?

(Children speak up.)

Vii. Problematic situation "Court of Conscience"

Classroom teacher. Conscience is our inner judge that helps us distinguish between good and evil. Thoughts, deeds, words - all a person should subject to the strict judgment of his conscience. And what a relief you feel when you remove the heaviness from your soul, you clear your conscience.

Listen to a story from a former student of mine.

In the 7th grade, Sergei was a naughty, hooligan boy. The guys considered him a leader because he constantly came up with all kinds of entertainment.

Once in class, he managed to steal a bag with replaceable shoes from a girl, Tanya Ivanova, and throw it out the open window. The kids, seeing other people's old shoes, threw them into a deep puddle.

After the lessons the guys had a match with 7 "B", and Sergei completely forgot about these unfortunate shoes. He ran home, had lunch, changed his clothes, then honestly stood at the gate for an hour and a half, without conceding a single goal.

Already in the last minutes of the match, he saw Ivanova come out of the school door, how she spanked in her slippers in the mud, smearing tears on her cheeks. Sergei called the guys, and they laughed, looking at this unwilling.

And in the evening they had a scandal at the entrance. Shouts rang out from the Ivanovs' apartment. The drunken father shouted that he would make Tanya walk barefoot or in tarpaulin boots, since she does not know how to take care of her things.

Sergey put on his headphones, turned on the music and began to do his homework. For some reason I didn't want to laugh at all. And at night he could not sleep in any way, something disgustingly scratched in his heart, interfered, did not give rest. He recalled all the events of the day: the tear-stained Ivanova, plopping through the puddles in slippers, the voice of her drunk father, the plaintive babble of her mother - no matter how persuading himself Sergei, no matter how he justified, it turned out that he was to blame for everything. Deciding that the morning was evening wiser, Sergei fell asleep.

And the next morning an ambulance took Ivanova to the hospital with pneumonia. Here Sergey realized how conscience could gnaw.

He had money that he saved for a bike. In a shoe store, Sergei bought with this money women's shoes of size 38, like his mother's, and went to the hospital to visit Ivanova.

He said that he came on behalf of the class teacher, put a bag of shoes on the bed and ran away. He did not dare to ask for forgiveness from Ivanova.

Arriving home, out of habit, he turned on the computer, put on headphones, turned on the music. And suddenly, remembering Ivanova's pitiful, frightened and surprised face, Sergei for some reason burst into tears. He cried for several minutes and, oddly enough, felt such relief, as if a huge, heavy stone had fallen from his soul.

Soon the Ivanov family moved to a new apartment, and after an illness, Tanya moved to another school.

Many years passed, Sergei became an officer, captain of the first rank. The ninth graders invited him for a class hour to talk about the profession of a naval officer.

Then Sergei decided to tell this story for some reason.

Why do you think Sergei felt relieved when he bought Tanya boots?

And why did he cry after all?

Examples of children's answers:

He tried to make amends.

Conscience told him that he did everything right.

Conscience opened his eyes and he could feel the pain of another person.

He had to do something to atone for his guilt.

He cried with pity and annoyance with himself.

They were tears of relief, cleansing.

He cried with joy: the girl would not be offended by him now.

Classroom teacher. How can you make amends for your shameless act?

Examples of children's answers:

You can ask forgiveness from the one you offended.

Believers can repent in confession.

Promise yourself that you will never do this again.

There are three good things you can do.

Classroom teacher. Here is what Abkhazian writer Fazil Iskander said about conscience: “Is it possible to educate conscience? In addition to the rarest freaks, every person has a conscience, albeit weakly expressed. If a person with a weakly expressed conscience falls into a team that he values, he tries to adhere to generally accepted moral norms. At first, he is ashamed not so much of a shameless act as of its announcement. But this is upbringing, and, as in any upbringing, correct behavior eventually becomes a habit. "

I would like each of us to act according to their conscience and this has become a habit for him.

VIII. Exercises for Conscience

1. "Minute of remorse"

Classroom teacher. All human life consists of such situations. At every step we make a choice between good and evil. In order not to be mistaken, you need to constantly hear the voice of your conscience. This voice will tell us whether our actions are good or bad. And so that the conscience is not silent, you need to train it, as muscles and the mind are trained - you need to make it constantly work, do exercises. Exercise of conscience is the inner work of the mind and heart, when a person reflects on what was good and what was bad for the day, mentally puts himself in the place of another, tries to see the consequences of his actions, knows how to look at his actions through the eyes of people whom he respects. With such work, the conscience will not be silent and will always be the inner judge of a person. Otherwise - wandering in the dark. Let's now (whoever has the courage) do this exercise. Let's think for a minute, remember our bad deeds, of which we deeply regret. Let's call this exercise "Minute of Repentance."

(Music sounds. For one minute the children think about their actions.)

Raise your hands, who wants to clear their conscience, to repent of a bad deed.

(Children raise their hands, talk about their bad deeds.)

Repentance is a great feeling. It cleanses and heals a person. Even doctors admit that remorse heals the worst illnesses that medicine is powerless against. "The sword does not cut off a guilty head," says a Russian proverb.

2. "Minute of forgiveness"

Classroom teacher. A second helpful exercise in conscience is asking for forgiveness.

You know that our people have been celebrating Maslenitsa all this week.

The last day of Shrovetide is called "Forgiveness Sunday". On this day, it is customary to ask everyone for forgiveness. When people meet, they kiss and say to each other: "Forgive me, please." In response, you need to say: "God will forgive you."

Maybe there are daredevils who want to ask for forgiveness from those whom they offended?

(Children raise their hands at will, ask for forgiveness from classmates, from the teacher.)

I advise you to do this exercise at home, and on Forgiveness Sunday ask everyone for forgiveness.

IX. Interactive conversation "What to do with impudent people?"

Classroom teacher. But what if a person has no conscience? Is it good for him to live in the world? Examples of children's answers:

Live well, you can sleep well.

Everyone envies the impudent, impudent people achieve more in life.

Of course, good, impudence is the second happiness.

It will be good for him for the time being, until he is treated shamelessly. And then he will immediately remember his misdeeds and conscience will awaken in him.

He may achieve something, but people will not respect him. Classroom teacher. How can one awaken conscience in a shameless person?

Examples of children's answers:

He needs to speak directly to him about everything, criticize.

A boycott must be declared.

Do not shake hands, do not greet.

We need to arrange a public trial.

Classroom teacher. I agree with you. If a person acts shamelessly, dishonestly, those around him should shame him. Better a bitter truth than a beautiful lie. Maybe this will awaken the conscience in a person, it will make a person ashamed.

X. Summing up (reflection)

Classroom teacher. Our conversation has come to an end. Do you think this conversation awakened your conscience?

Examples of children's answers:

It seems to me my conscience is awake. But the conversation was helpful.

Maybe someone will feel ashamed, but talking alone will not awaken conscience.

On Sunday, I’ll apologize to everyone and try not to do wrong anymore.
