Expert: methods of teaching literature, reading
It is well known that the game is, according to L.S. Vygotsky, the leading activity of children, which is skillfully used by teachers of primary schools, fifth and sixth grades. However, a correctly constructed game, aimed at both the outcome (victory) and the process (preparation for the game), activates the cognitive interest of high school students in the field of the subject “Literature.”
Schoolchildren who read books lack the opportunity to discuss them with someone who is also interested in such communication; those who have not yet read, being in the center of the discussion, get the opportunity to hear and learn about the book not only from the teacher, but also from their peers.
More and more, the holistic impression of a book that schoolchildren received as a result of a smart lesson from a skillful teacher is disappearing from a literature lesson.
During the game, the passion of the team is always stronger than the personal ambitions of the individual, which is important from the point of view of education.
The commands can be:
- from one class (at the first stage of the teacher’s approach to such work),
- from parallel classes or even from different schools.
It also makes sense to organize literary tournaments in two stages: the winners of the intermediate stages advance to the last stage.
According to our observations, today's schoolchildren really lack general interesting active activities related to culture and art, in which the children will not show their own leadership inclinations, but will represent and defend the intellectual status of their gymnasium, school, lyceum.
It is worth noting that it is through intellectual play, that is, an active entertaining activity, that we strive to attract the attention of high school students to literary works, both studied in high school and familiar to students in the high school curriculum.
The game uses software works as the basis.
The game consists of two stages, in total (the game itself, preparation for it, training) lasts almost six months: from January, when the teacher and team decide whether to play or not to play, until April, when the decisive final takes place.
All details of the organization of the game can be found on the website of the Association of Gymnasiums of St. Petersburg
Tasks
The tasks for the first qualifying round are given differently every year.
Once it was an interpretation (oral presentation and written equivalent) of one of three works chosen by the team: E. Zamyatin “Dragon”, T. Tolstaya “Seraphim”, Y. Buida “Tower”. As an assignment, the preparation of “Tales about a poet of the 19th century” may be proposed.
In the first round, teams get to know each other and can compare their literary preferences and ideas with the level and knowledge of other teams - their peers. Questions are asked by both schoolchildren and members of the qualifying round jury.
Below we present game plans with examples of specific tasks with the necessary methodological comments.

Task 6. Homes of literary heroes
Fragments are read aloud. In written answers you must indicate the author, title, and character. Rating: author, title – 0.5 points, hero – 0.5 points.
Other fragments of this task are taken from the following works:
Depending on the time, this task can also be carried out orally, reading aloud all the above episodes, but addressing each to only one team in turn.
Task 7. Finish the story: suggest a possible ending.
The point of such work is to immerse schoolchildren in the author’s world as much as possible. Teams must try to reconstruct the meaning of the last phrase and guess at a possible name.
Author of the assignment, teacher of school No. 348 E.K. Liforenko, offers V. Grossman’s story “Outside the City”. Of course, a story or short story for such a competition should be small in volume; the text is read (without indicating the title and last phrase) aloud and then distributed to the teams for a few minutes.
Here are some versions of the last phrase and names proposed by the teams who were given a few minutes to do this.
After all the versions have been heard, the presenter reads the ending of V. Grossman’s story.
Such tasks are useful not only in the game, but also in the lesson: by engaging the creative imagination of schoolchildren, such work mobilizes the general memory of the mood of the work of art.
Intellectual game for high school students “The Last Hero”
Malakhova Olga Anatolyevna
MOBU Secondary School No. 24, Sochi
Game for high school students
"The Last Hero of Fort BAZILYARD "
(based on the principle of the TV game “Fort Bayard”)
Somewhere in the school, for example in some classrooms, “treasures” are hidden in advance. The task of the players (two teams) is to find them. You can hide one “treasure” and develop two different routes, or you can hide your own for each team.
The game is divided into several stages. At each stage, teams receive hints. A correctly interpreted hint allows you to move in the right direction. False or misinterpreted will lead to a dead end
Stage 1: teams solve a crossword puzzle. The crossword is unusual: the questions are connected personally with the guys. Certain letters in the crossword puzzle form a word. This is a hint. In our case it was the word “Mayakovsky”. It is clear that in the literature room this clue should be looked for in books. There is a 12-volume edition of Mayakovsky on the shelf.
Stage 2: 12 volumes. Each one contains a leaflet with a hint. You can find out which volume you need by putting together a picture from a puzzle. Picture size A3. The editing was done in advance in Photoshop. Again about the guys. On one there are 4 boys, on the other 2. These are the volume numbers.
Stage 3 : In one of the volumes there is a portrait of Lermontov. Lermontov really “holds” the clue. There is a statuette of a poet on the cabinet in the office. There is a sheet of paper in your hands. In another volume there is a portrait of Catherine II. In the office there is a wall newspaper dedicated to her. There is a sheet of questions attached to the back of the newspaper.
Stage 4: Both teams have the same questions. The answers to them are some combination of numbers. From the first digits it becomes clear that this is a cell phone number.
Stage 5 : We call. We get the answer: 1. “The golden grove in which the route map is hidden dissuaded me.” 2. “Frost and sun, so you can clearly see the route you have to take.”
Stage 6: In the volumes of Yesenin and Pushkin, respectively, there is a description of the route, moving along which the children will find treasures.
Stage 7: We are looking for the “treasure”. 1 team:
Comment: “The Past” is a cabinet of history. “Grove” is three frail flowers in pots in the corridor, “three wells” is a toilet. A “fork” is a staircase, without fighting gravity, we move down to the “parallel world”, i.e. to the second floor. Having looked at ourselves from the outside (in the mirror), we walk along the corridor to the history room. Let's go there. There is a chocolate bar and a note on the table:
On the fourth floor, where children will arrive after making two circles along the stairs (2 floors), there is a fire hose. This is about "anaconda". A note:
To do this, make a forward movement
to the negative side of the y-axis.
This, of course, is the physics room on the floor below. There is a note on the office door:
“WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS UNDER YOUR FEET”
This is the key to the office, where the “treasures” await the guys - a charming chest of candies.
2nd team.
Comment: The Unified State Examination woman’s hut is the office of the head teacher who supervises the senior classes. "Olympus" - teachers' room. Hint on the mirror:
This is the teacher's room plan. There is a chocolate bar and a note in the closet:
In a flower pot (“grove”) on the floor above there is a note:
This is a toilet, on the door of which there is again a note:
“Look under your feet.”
Key to the history room. There's a "treasure" here.
Game over!
Task 8. Musical (written)
Score: maximum 2 points for each correct complete answer: give the name and author of the literary source.
Small musical fragments are heard in the recording (video):
This competition turned out to be the most difficult, despite the textbook works chosen. Each piece of music is written based on an existing literary plot known to schoolchildren.
