Sažetak
Story collection Moja Zlatna dolina is one of the rare ones that speak about love for the Požega county. It also has an important role in the 20th century children’s literature history, which is why it forms a part of the 4th-grade Croatian language curriculum (Nastavni plan i
program, 2006). However, the research (Aladrović-Slovaček i Marić, 2014) suggests that the story itself is not fully perceived, because many teachers, even teachers from the Požega-Slavonia County, do not include the story in their curriculum. By doing so, they make it
impossible for children to develop interest in the story. On the other hand, it is well known that love for our homeland and country will be greater if we are familiar with its culture (Kukuruzović, 2008). The aim of this research is to show how third-graders perceive the story Moja Zlatna dolina. In order to make it more successful, the pupils made a mini project, in which they studied the homeland past. The class (experimental group) was divided into four groups. The groups studied famous people from the Požega county, objects used in the past, as well as clothes and children’s games. After finishing the project, the pupils read short stories Susreti koji se ne zaboravljaju and Šeširi koji mi zagorčaše život (Moja Zlatna dolina). Their knowledge was examined through a reading comprehension check and a questionnaire about the attitudes towards both the text they had read and the project itself. In another class (control group), pupils had to read the stories and describe how they perceived the book. It was expected that the pupils from the experimental group would show better reception of the
story, as well as a more positive attitude towards the story due to the project that helped them understand it better.
