Успехи в учёбе наблюдаются тогда, когда на нужном уровне поставлена внеклассная работа по предмету. Эта мысль Сухомлинского как никогда звучит актуально, когда внедряется ФГОС. Кроссворд посвящается памяти легендарного певца Демиса Руссоса и представляет реальные факты из его жизни на английском языке. В процессе ознакомления с биографией певца, учащиеся развивают язык, обогащают лексический потенциал и развивают грамматические структуры языка, а также совершенствуют навыки чтения, в ходе чего у них формируется языковая догадка. Рекомендуется использовать при проведении внеклассных мероприятий по английскому языку с учащимися 9-11 классов, а также на уроках при прохождении разделов на данную тематику.
