Поэт светлой тональности (изучение поэмы А.Т. Твардовского «Дом у дороги» в средней школе)

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to present the experience of studying A.T. Tvardovsky’s oeuvre in the 11th grade on the example of introductory classes and the poem “House by the road”. The author focuses on the anniversary date (the 110th anniversary of the poet’s birth), the peculiarities of students’ perception of poetry, and the overview of modern methodological and literary approaches to the study of the poet’s work in different classes. On the example of the tasks of the introductory lesson, the lesson opportunities are shown (comparison of early and late works, comparison with the folklore texts, identification of a variety of forms of lyrical works at different stages of the poet’s creative work). Based on literary approaches to the poem by A.T. Tvardovsky, the methodological concept of the proposed variant of lesson planning is defined. The article presents in detail the compositional (due to the genre originality of the poem) and contextual (interpretation of the poem in other forms of art) analyses at different stages of the study of the poem. In addition, the article outlines other directions of studying the poem, which can be considered as separate independent options for studying a work of art at a literature lesson. In conclusion, the article presents the results of acquaintance with the interpretation of the poem by A.T. Tvardovsky (film-ballet by A. Belinsky) and variants of tasks for 11-grade students to compare them, as well as the analysis of tasks fulfillment. Based on the approach to the study of A.T. Tvardovsky’s oeuvre, proposed in the article, the principles and techniques of the classical methodology are updated, which, in our opinion, greatly contributes to the development of the philological and general culture of students.
