December 3 a new educational project on literature starts in Moscow "YES TO READING". In 14 hours (two days of 7 hours), the first listeners of the new express course will be able to remember or discover for the first time the main works from school curriculum.

– We will not have complex literary theories and in-depth analysis of works based on knowledge of all the details of the text,— says the author of the project Evgenia Vovchenko. — Vice versa,

we will go through all the main works very quickly and concisely. Our task is to provide maximum information in a short time.

And to make it not only informative, but fun and interesting, we have provided a large number of interactive - all kinds of discussions, games and competitions. Listeners will share their personal experience, imagine yourself in the place of heroes, transfer events to the present. Different formats and ways of serving will not let you get bored.

The authors of the project describe their audience as follows: adults who have graduated from school and college, read books from time to time, but do not have deep knowledge of literature.

Not everyone was lucky at school with a literature teacher, and it is impossible to fill literary gaps on their own, and there is not enough time.

– Today, all kinds of lectures are very popular, but they usually give a lot of deep information that is not always clear to an unprepared person and requires a serious literary background, Evgenia explains. — You go there and you don't feel very well. an educated person, and this is not always pleasant, especially for an adult. And so I want to talk with someone about the book, discuss, draw parallels with real life. This is what we will be doing in our express courses, especially since the “entertainment + education” format is in great demand today.

The lecturers of the course will be well-known literary scholars: (Chairman of the Guild of Literature), Artem Novichenkov(writer, literary critic, teacher of literature at school No. 2009), Egor Sartakov (senior lecturer at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University), (teacher of literature at the Gymnasium No. 1514), Yanina Soldatkina(Professor of the Department of Russian Literature, Institute of Philology, Moscow Pedagogical State University).

According to Evgenia, none of them doubt the success of the new project, and they consider their participation in it as a kind of challenge. It is one thing to speak to a prepared audience, and quite another to interest in your subject those who remember little or have not even read at all.

The first course will be devoted to six main works from the school curriculum in literature,

Explanatory note

The proposed course "Theory of Literature" ("Secrets of Literature") is intended for specialized education of students in grades 10-11. The course is aimed at systematizing and expanding knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of literary criticism, mastering various types of analysis, based on theoretical information.

This program is designed for 70 hours, i.е. for two years of study - grades 10-11. It indicates the approximate distribution of study time by topic, however, variation of the material is possible in the classroom.

The course program consists of the main theoretical and literary concepts included in the standard of the secondary (complete) general education on literature.

The program not only continues, but also deepens the study of literary theory. At the same time, the course implies the assimilation of theoretical literary concepts in combination with the practical activities of students (when analyzing works of art). As an object of analysis, literary works intended for compulsory study, and additional literature on the subject, which has methodological significance (at the choice of the teacher and students), are offered. So, the course "Theory of Literature" ("Secrets of Literature") is based on the principle of scientific, consistent, systematic presentation of the material, the connection between theory and practice.

This program helps students to acquire additional philological knowledge in the course of literature, allows them to practically receive an elementary philological education. The knowledge, skills and abilities that the future graduate will master will be in demand in society.

The topic of the course is relevant. There is a conflict between content curriculum on the subject (standard) and the time to master this content, which is allocated by the curriculum. The lack of time for the formation of practical skills with the help of in-depth theoretical information is compensated in the classroom of this course.

The purpose of the course "Theory of Literature" ("Secrets of Literature") is to create conditions for:

In-depth study of theoretical concepts;

Formation of the internal need of the individual to improve the reader's experience through mastering the techniques of literary analysis;

Development and improvement of the psychological qualities of the student's personality: curiosity, perseverance, independence in acquiring knowledge.

To achieve the goals set, it is proposed to solve the following tasks:

To form a scientific worldview;

To systematize the previously studied and acquired knowledge, skills and abilities and to form the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice;

To develop the creative abilities of students;

Develop the skills and abilities of self-control and self-organization.

In order to achieve the tasks set, it is important to use the best methods and teaching methods for the course of specialized training: research, problem-search, method of stimulating and motivating educational activities, method independent work. This results in a variety of forms of work: a heuristic conversation, a seminar lesson, a lecture lesson, a research lesson, a conference lesson, a consultation lesson, a practical lesson, etc. These forms of work allow you to activate the activity of students.

The proposed course provides for the following types of independent work: analyzes of lyrical, prose and dramatic works, analysis of an episode, work with reference literature, compilation of a literary dictionary, writing an essay, creating a web page about a favorite writer or literary work, etc.

Work on the theme of the course "Theory of Literature" ("Secrets of Literature") assumes the following expected result: the study of the course will lead to the elimination of gaps in this area; mastering the necessary theoretical knowledge will lead to ensuring a high level of literary training of students, to mastering the skills to apply the acquired knowledge in practice, namely: the ability to deeply analyze a work of art, using information on literary theory, the ability to independently form own opinion about the phenomena of artistic culture.

The final reporting form of this course will be the presentation of your own projects or works with your own commentary.

Success in the course will be judged by pass/fail criteria.

The content of the program is determined by the desire of students to broaden their horizons in the field of literature, expand and deepen theoretical knowledge on the subject, without which the practical process of thinking about a work of art is impossible, as well as the desire to effectively prepare and successfully pass the exam at the end of secondary (complete) general education school.

In the first section of the program "Fiction as a kind of art" questions of a general nature are considered: what is the specificity of literature as a kind of art, what is literature in general and what is its difference from other types of art, what does literary criticism do, what is the originality of Russian critics.

(Critical articles: A.V. Druzhinin "Oblomov", a novel by I.A. Goncharov" and N.A. Dobrolyubov "What is Oblomovism?"; N.A. Dobrolyubov "A Ray of Light in the "Dark Kingdom" and D.I. Motives of Russian drama"; M. Antonovich "Asmodeus of our time" and D. I. Pisarev "Bazarov").

The next section develops the concept of an image in general (a reflection in the mind of a picture of reality) and the concept of an artistic image (the result of cognition of reality, thoughts and feelings that arose in the process of the writer's creative activity). Since the image presupposes, first of all, the creation of a certain human character, then an acquaintance with the latter follows. It follows that character is a set of basic features that determine individual characteristics hero and also highest form character, a great artistic generalization - type.

In the process of practical activities in this section, students, following an approximate plan for characterizing the hero of a literary work, develop the ability to give a complete, holistic description of a particular character (See Appendix 1).

(Texts: N.V. Gogol "Dead Souls"; I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov").

The third section of the program is devoted to explaining what a work of art is, what is form and content, and hence their unity. The interpretation of these concepts by different schools is given.

In the "Theme. Idea" section, these two terms are distinguished, and their plurality is also mentioned. The concept of conflict and problematics is also given here ( Texts: L. Tolstoy "War and Peace"; E. Zamyatin "We"; A. Akhmatova. Poetry); similarities and differences between the plot and the plot, about the implementation of the plot in the plot ( Texts: A.I. Herzen "The Thieving Magpie"; A.I. Ostrovsky "Dowry"). A significant role is given to the construction of the work, composition, its influence on the idea of ​​the work. The stages of the development of the action (exposition, plot, development of the action, climax, denouement, epilogue) and the main ways of depicting ( Texts: M.Yu.Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time"; LN Tolstoy "After the ball"; I.S. Turgenev "Rudin"; I.A. Bunin "The Gentleman from San Francisco"; M G. "Old Woman Izergil"; M.A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita").

A large place is given to the concept of the author's personality, the features of the author's position, how the author's attitude to the hero is manifested, what is the author's digression ( Texts: A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin"; I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons"; A.P. Chekhov. stories; V.Rasputin. stories).

In the section "Analysis of a prose work" we will talk about the diversity of the work, which gives us great opportunities to choose an aspect in the analysis. A work of art can be analyzed from different points of view: to study the creative history, to consider the relationship between life material and artistic plot, to find out the meaning of the title and epigraph in connection with the general idea, to consider the system of images, the originality of the composition as a whole or the features of some compositional principles, the originality of the plot, etc. Attention is also paid to the role of the episode in a work of art: the structure of the episode as part of the whole in the context of the whole work, the connection with other episodes, the meaningful function of the episode. Types of connections between episodes: causal, causal, temporal.

On the example of the traditional plans for the analysis of a prose work and the analysis of an episode that exist in the school curriculum, a significant place is given practical work (See Appendix 2, 3).

(Texts: F.M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment"; M. Gorky. stories; M.A. Sholokhov "Quiet Don"; B. Pasternak "Doctor Zhivago"; A.I. Solzhenitsyn. stories.)

In the section "Literary genera" the distinctive features of genera are studied: the subject of the image, the volume of the image, the way of narration, the way of compositional connections, the way of depicting time, the way of organizing the plot.

The section "Genres of Literature" introduces students to the features of each genre:

1. epic: the principle of narration, features of poetics, varieties of the genre ( Text: A.I. Kuprin "Garnet bracelet");

2. lyrics: content, object and subject of the image, etc., varieties of the genre ( Texts: A.A. Fet "Whisper, timid breathing:"; K. Balmont "Evening. Seashore. Sighs of the wind").

3. drama: the origin of the genre, its properties, content, the difference between drama and epic and lyric poetry, varieties of the genre, the classical scheme of drama (M. Gorky "At the Bottom").

The eighth section of the program "Peculiarities of the language of a work of art" considers the properties of the language of fiction, language as

the main means by which the artist achieves the individualization of the image of life and the main task of language: the creation of an image. The latter entails the use and selection by the artist of figurative and expressive means. Using the texts of works of art, students work on the role in the text of the following tropes: metaphor, metonymy, personification, comparison, epithet, etc. Also find out the role of the intonation of syntax in the work.

(Texts: I.A. Bunin "Antonov apples"; A. Platonov "Markun").

In the section "Features of the poetic language" the attention of students is focused on the general features of poetic speech, on the existing systems of versification (musical-speech, syllabic, syllabic-tonic, tonic), on the size of the verse (disyllabic - trochaic, iambic; trisyllabic - dactyl, amphibrach, anapaest). In the same section, there is an acquaintance with such types of verse as white verse, free verse. The role of rhyme, its intonational and semantic meaning, methods of rhyming, work with such terms as stanza, foot, caesura, anacrusis, sponde, pyrrhic are shown.

(Texts: Poetry of F. Tyutchev, A. Fet, A. Blok, A. Akhmatova, M. Tsvetaeva, V. Mayakovsky.).

Section "Analysis lyrical work"involves the work of students according to the traditional plan for the analysis of a lyrical work (See Appendix 4). A significant place in this section is given to the repetition of types of tropes, sound means of expression, syntactic means of expression, and poetic vocabulary.

Particular attention is paid to the image of the lyrical hero as a generalizing concept, while the emphasis is on the fact that the lyrical hero should in no way be obscured from us by the living, individual content of the poet as a person.

(Texts: Poetry of N. Gumilyov, S. Yesenin, M. Tsvetaeva, O. Mandelstam, A. Akhmatova, B. Pasternak).

The following section, "Analysis of a Dramatic Work", discusses various ways of analysis, more precisely, aspects of analysis. This is, for example, an analysis of the grouping of characters, since the grouping of characters often reveals the essence of a dramatic conflict most clearly; this is an analysis of the development of the action, since in the drama the action is the basis of the plot and composition, the action in the play expresses the pathos of the playwright.

The practical work of students is built around an exemplary traditional analysis of a dramatic work. (See Appendix 5).

(Texts: A.P. Chekhov "The Cherry Orchard"; A. V. Vampilov "Date"; V.S. Rozov "Good afternoon").

The section "Historical and literary process. Literary trends" is devoted mainly to the characteristics of trends and their representatives. The literary trend is a unity of the main ideological and artistic features, found in a certain historical period in the work of a number of writers who are close to each other in their ideology and life experience, in their artistic method.

The final section is a generalization of the theoretical and literary concepts obtained in the form of a presentation of creative works and projects by students.
