Sažetak
Modern literature lesson is based on communication between a reader (student), the read text and a teacher. It is full of challenges for both teachers and students, because it requires reflective and critical reception of literary texts, while also encouraging children’s imagination and creativity. Reception didactics of literature stresses that the efficiency of lesson depends on observation of reader’s expectations, so it’s very important for the teachers to know the reading habits of children and their interests, and to consider such habits and interests as much as possible when planning work. To achieve objectives it’s not only important what we do, but also how we do it. Creative problem-solving lessons give teachers numerous options for individualization and differentiation of class and use of diverse work methods, which require student’s active role and cooperative work, integration and application of knowledge, and which encourage critical thinking and lead to an in-depth understanding of literature. The article introduces class hours I performed in the ninth (final) grade of primary school in literature class (thinking about literature according to the “de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats method”, collaborative learning, “when a student becomes the teacher”, creative problem-solving treatment of required reading: Tales from Shakespeare) and which are based on the methods of creative problem-solving lessons. Displayed methods were well-received among students, everyone actively participated in class, and the set objectives have been realized.
