Гродно – одно из старейших поселений Беларуси. Его история уходит вглубь веков. Архитектура города всегда была богатой, разнообразной и неповторимой. В ней нашли отражение такие стили, как ренессанс, барокко, псевдорусский и готический стили. Итальянские, немецкие, польские и русские архитекторы оставили свой след в Гродно, но из-за большого количества войн, пожаров и перестроек архитектурные памятники были изменены.
В Беларуси было около 150 замков, много церквей, синагог. Большинство из них были утрачены, и на их месте уже стоят новые здания. Изучение утраченных памятников – это неотъемлемая часть нашей истории, которую должны знать подростки.
В наши дни, когда Гродно является туристическим безвизовым центром, знание истории нашего города может помочь учащимся наладить общение с представителями других стран. Рассказывая туристам историю Гродно, тем самым развивая коммуникативную и социокультурную компетентность в изучении иностранного языка, воспитывая чувство патриотизма и любви к родному краю.
Актуальность занятия
Изучение утраченных памятников истории и архитектуры способствуют духовно-нравственному воспитанию учащихся, формированию их мировоззрения, формированию ценностных ориентаций, служащих основой активной жизненной позиции будущего гражданина, способствует развитию патриотизма.
Цель занятия:
воспитание у учащихся чувства патриотизма, развитие и углубление знаний об истории и культуре родного края, развитие коммуникативной и социокультурной компетенции учащихся через изучение историко-культурного наследия Гродно.

Greetings
Grodno is one of the oldest settlements in Belarus. It history goes back centuries. The settlement “Goroden” was first mentioned under the year 1127 in the Radziwill and Laurentian chronicles. During its long history Grodno was a part of many States: the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Russian Empire, the USSR.
Each of these periods left its own unique mark in the history and architecture of the city. The city experienced periods of the highest prosperity (it was the residence of the kings of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) and decline (with the inclusion of the city into the Russian Empire).
The architecture of the city has always been rich, diverse and unique. Italian, German, Polish and Russian architects left their marks in Grodno but due to the large number of wars, fires and reconstructions architectural monuments have been changed or have been lost.
