METHODS OF TEACHING LITERARY FAIRY TALES IN HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

This study is devoted to teaching literary fairy tales to schoolchildren. Moreover, in the presented work, the literary fairy tale is considered as a separate (independent) phenomenon, its fundamental difference from the folk fairy tale is emphasized. A literary fairy tale is a fairly popular genre of literary art. Many features inherent in the fairy tale as a type of literature took shape already in the early stages of its development. The first stage in the history of the Russian literary fairy tale can be called “pre-Pushkin” (fairy tale in the literature of the 18th - early 19th centuries). The result was the final consolidation of the fairy tale in the system of literary genres. The Russian literary fairy tale took in what was developed by traditional folklore (the spiritual experience of the people, ideals and hopes, ideas about the world and man, good and evil, truth and justice - in a perfect, harmonious, capacious form developed over centuries), combining moral values and artistic achievements of the people with the author's talent. The fairy tale has become an integral part of the spiritual culture of the people; the fairy-tale principles of understanding and depicting the world and man are universal and recognizable in art.
