Fiction is an essential aid in raising children and adolescents. Books not only develop imagination and memory, but also teach children to be friends, love, empathize, gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, and approach creatively and with humor to solving complex problems. From childhood, a love of literature comes, among other things, with the help of a literary drawing room.
In general words about the most important
The term “literary drawing room” is rooted deep in the 19th century, known for its “golden” authorship. In the strict sense, this is a creative event for several (sometimes several dozen) people, united by a common theme and a literary task. The literary drawing room necessarily relies on a pre-prepared script, according to which participants gather and read poetry, discuss a work, talk with a guest author, sing, organize theater performances.
Stages of a literary living room
- Selection of the main idea of the evening.
- The choice of a host, screenwriter, decorator, music operator and other responsible persons.
- Script development, ideas for decoration and musical design.
- Collection, compilation, systematization and distribution of literary content to participants, selection of musical accompaniment and development of scenery.
- Rehearsals and discussions.
- Conducting a literary evening and enjoying the process.
Targets and goals
The main idea of the literary lounge is to create a positive creative space for the implementation of a common cause, for communication, development. In this case, there are three main goals: communicative, cognitive and moral and ethical.
Communicative goal
The main task of any scenario of a literary drawing room is self-expression, discovery of talents in the world of creativity, strengthening self-esteem and socialization of a student.
Today, the situation with communication between children is close to critical. Children communicate mostly on the Internet, which operates according to its own laws, which are different from the laws of a healthy civil society. Literary evenings contribute to the development in the child of not only the poet, but also the citizen. It is about the fact that the child learns not only to express his own opinion the most competently and correctly, but also to respect the opinion of the interlocutor, listen and try to understand.
Cognitive task
Literary evenings develop memory and imagination. Children learn to recite poems, perform songs and express their thoughts not as if they were on the scaffold, but creatively, freely and easily. This will help them become competent and competitive professionals in the future.
Ethical idea
Love for fiction and art may not be the most important thing in life, but it develops self-discipline, critical thinking, the ability to focus on one thing, and literacy in written and spoken language. This is another task of the literary drawing room, which is already aimed at developing the soul and conscience of the child, his moral and spiritual ideals.
A bit about scripts and scenery
Like any kind of art and creativity, a literary drawing room requires careful and thoughtful preparation. It is primarily about the script of the literary drawing room. The script means the main idea and idea of the event, combining content, scenery, participants, music, handouts and invited authors.
Script of the literary living room for Victory Day
The music of the war years (“Cranes” to the verses of Rasul Gamzatov) sounds , a minute of silence and memory of the victims.
Perhaps there is not a single topic so close to the heart and so familiar to Russian people as the Great Patriotic War. Carriers of Russian culture with mother’s milk absorb sorrow, pain, and unprecedented loss. In our time it is very important to remind children more often that war is not online battles and not news on TV, but real human victims, deaths of mothers and children, brothers and sisters, those who lived near and in heart. The poetry of Olga Berggolz, Bulat Okudzhava, Konstantin Simonov, the diary of Tanya Savicheva, the diary in letters from Anna Frank are the immortal monuments of the war on which the script of the literary drawing room by May 9 is built. Everyone takes turns reading poetry, pre-prepared music sounds. Invited veterans presented with flowers and gifts. Tears and emotions are appropriate here, a touching, sincere atmosphere reigns in the hall.
Such an evening can be spent throughout the entire schooling, starting from the 1st grade to graduates. Even more interesting is to unite schoolchildren of all ages in the evening. The script of the literary drawing room “war” is an enduring theme for schoolchildren, if only because children must understand the horror of this phenomenon in order to prevent it in the future by any means.
Script literary living: anniversary
This scenario is suitable for the birthdays of teachers, beloved poets and writers, composers and involves full scope for creativity. An anniversary can be either Nekrasov or the abolition of serfdom, and therefore it is impossible to come up with a common scenario. Consider as an example the anniversary of the class teacher.
In this case, a literary evening will be a wonderful gift for a solemn occasion. The scenery will be photos of the teacher in his young years and now. To do this, you can contact relatives (who can also act as guests of the living room). Participants in the event learn poetry, compose their own works, learn songs and prepare postcards for their beloved teacher. You can also bake sweets and bring fruits, because it is not just an evening, but a holiday!
This event can be both humorous and lyrical in nature (here we must proceed from the characteristics of the personality of the hero of the day).
Script literary living room "Love"
Eternal, all-consuming, unshakable, all-forgiving, merciful, burning, omnipotent, it is the main driving force in life. Inexhaustible energy or tragedy. The love scenario of holding a literary drawing room will always be appropriate: for the younger classes - this is the first acquaintance with the topic, for the older ones - talk about the essentials.
Each love scenario involves a certain game. In this case, you can arrange a poetic evening, but it is much more interesting to turn this evening into a discussion club, when each child can describe what love is in prose, satire or poetry. Any opinions should be welcomed, from chemistry buffs and nihilists to lyrical and emotional revelations.
This scenario is perfectly combined with religious and spiritual-educational topics. It is here that it will be appropriate to talk about God and about love as the highest vital energy that unites us all.
At the entrance to the audience you can put a box for “Valentines” and cards. The scenery will be photos of lovers from films, balloons and romantic music.
It is also interesting to discuss the topic of love letters and correspondence, starting from a letter from Tatyana Onegin to modern online confessions.
The theme of love should be presented either simply and clearly, or in any way, so as not to scare the children.
The script of the children's literary living room
Children are pure energy, making them sit still for at least half an hour is not an easy task. Therefore, such a scenario should involve activity and game form. As a rule, a children's literary drawing room is a theatrical production. The most logical and enduring scenario of a children's literary drawing room is an evening of poetry by Agnia Barto.
Of course, this format of the event will be very different from other scenarios, but its resource and potential are very high. The preparation of the scenery will be no less exciting than the evening itself. Each child draws an illustration for his poem, which he will learn and will recite in the evening. Further illustrations are hung on the walls and beautifully highlighted. In the hall, toys of animals from the poems of the children are laid out. So, for example, at the end of the performance and after receiving a standing ovation, the presenter presents the big, beautiful plush bunny to the baby who told her “the mistress abandoned the bunny ...”
Such an event will become a source of positive not only for children, but also for adults. The main thing to remember is that children quickly get tired and lose interest. Therefore, it is better to make such events short-lived, but often systematically.
Evening of Yevtushenko’s work: literary drawing room, script
As Nikolai Berdyaev said: “You need to live in beauty in order to know it.” Poetry is undoubtedly part of the aesthetic world and historical heritage. Is it possible to imagine our life without lyrics? There are many options for holding a poetic evening . Let us consider as an example the situation when the literary drawing room is dedicated to the poetry of Yevgeny Yevtushenko.
This event, as well as the literary drawing room according to the script by May 9, will always be distinguished by sincerity and simplicity, since Yevtushenko is a popular poet of all, and besides this, our contemporary.
At the preparatory stage, it is good to divide the tasks, who will prepare an interesting story about the author, who will select songs for his poems, who will prepare a media presentation with his performances. After that, all other participants are given poems. It is interesting not only to listen to Yevtushenko’s poems, but also to hear the students' opinions on each of them, to discuss the topic and the main lyrical thought.
The scenery for such an evening is photographs of poets, videos from his performances, the best and most vivid statements of the poet.
The script of the literary and musical lounge
Musical evening has become a favorite school event uniting schoolchildren of all ages. A literary and musical evening should not consist solely of songs to verses by famous authors, although they are given special attention here. In the living room there is a place for dancing and playing musical instruments.
The scenery will be photographs of famous composers, musical instruments, sheet music. You can arrange tables in the hall to get a music salon. Teachers in such a salon can act as attendants (waiters, administrators, butlers), and students in the role of guests who come to the salon.
The script itself may involve, for example, a vaudeville or musical. The presence of leaders is also possible.
If the child is embarrassed to sing, then for him there is an alternative in the form of verses to the music, which is also very sophisticated and elegant. Such an evening can be combined with some theme, for example, songs of the war years, the anniversary of the composer or poet, the musical "Cats". Or just be dedicated to music as the greatest art.
Humorous literary lounge
Stand-up, Comedy club and KVN have high ratings on television due to the attention and love of adults and children. The simplicity of execution, sincerity and honesty of the stand -ders impresses. If girls agree to a poetic or musical evening much easier, then the boys will have to be forced. What for? After all, you can go to meet the children and begin to instill in them a love of self-expression and proper stage speech with the help of what they like.
Each student chooses a topic on which he wants to speak with a humorous monologue, and writes it. As you know, in the theater world, humor is the most difficult genre, be it jokes, satire, irony, sarcasm, and cartoon. Therefore, the preparatory stage should be lectures by teachers on the topic of humor and tools of humor. Each monologue is adjusted and edited by the student along with the teacher. For the evening stand-up, special decorations are not needed, they will only be distracting. The main thing here is man and his sincere sincere history. Children and their parents will like these evenings and will be an excellent occasion for communication and self-knowledge. It is very modern and fashionable, it will help the school stay in the trend of a rapidly changing world, while maintaining the continuity of generations.
"And in the end I will tell..."
Whatever the scenario of the literary drawing room, its main and leading goal is to help the child realize himself, to discover his inner artist, to learn to respectfully communicate with others and to feel harmoniously in the world of people. This is a wonderful tandem of not only a teacher and student, but also a child and music, poetry, prose, art and creativity. This kind of artistic orientation will help to correct the situation with the complexity of modern youth and restore Russia the status of the most reading nation.
