Rola metody praktyki pisarskiej w procesie wychowania literackiego uczniów starszych klas szkoły podstawowej

Abstract

The author’s own experience in the field of the application of the so-called method of practice in creative writing is based on the technique of free texts known from C. Freinet’s work. She gives the theoretical reasons for the necessity to introduce into elementary schools a kind of a great play. When children play creative writers it stimulates their imagination and teaches them to make coherent constructions of literary fiction. In the author’s opinion, the creation of science-fiction stories followed by their collective critical analysis is especially valuable for such didactic actions. The teacher as an animator of such actions takes part in the play and at the same time he m ay put some questions to the young creators concerning the meaning of their texts; thus he is able to point out the sense of the latter and help the children to form an investigative attitude towards the technique of narrative, the logical structure of the story etc. In this w ay the pupils m ay be intensively trained in the domain of the technique of the creation of literary texts. At the same time this enlarge their experience as to the understanding, feeling and evaluating of creative work. The method in question is thus of double importance: it helps the training of linguistic proficiency and fluency as w ell as the ease of utterance and it enables a teacher to teach the pupils some elementary notions of literary studies and to prepare them for critical understanding and interpretation of creative work.
