Šupová, Jaroslava ; Laufková, Veronika (advisor) ; Straková, Jana (referee)
This bachelor's thesis addresses the subject of reading corners in nursery schools. Its objective is to describe four chosen reading corners, including the activities conducted within them, propose modifications that could enhance these corners, and highlight discoveries that may inspire other educators.

Generally, books are stored with the spine facing outward and are only categorized based on whether the children can retrieve them...

Didactic potential of literary works with the theme of death in primary education
Bauerová, Zuzana ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of death and how to convey it to the pupils of primary school by means of literature. The first aim of the thesis is to justify why the topic of death belongs in the primary school curriculum. The main reason is that if communication about the topic of death is denied to children or is done in an inappropriate way, children form wrong ideas about it, which can have a negative impact on them. This thesis explores how the concept of death evolves over time, both within society and in the individual. Another aim is to explore the specifics of working with texts containing the death motif. In fact, literature is the most appropriate tool to open up the topic of death and help individual to process it. This applies in the school environment as well as outside of it. It is caused not only by the content itself, but also because of the way the recipient processes the information received from this medium. The main aim of this paper is to compile a list of literary works suitable for dealing with the theme of death in a school setting and to briefly characterize them. I have chosen one book title for each year of primary school and proposed a methodology for the work. Ordered from first grade to fifth grade, I selected the following works: The Visit from Little Death, The...

Kaizrová, Kristýna ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
This thesis deals with the teaching of literature in high school, focusing on deep reading. The theoretical part includes a more detailed definition of the concept of deep reading, looking for its place in the teaching of literature and links with literacy and empathy. The aim of the thesis was to prepare and teach several lessons in the high school during which students will have a space for deep reading. The starting point of the work is the book Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World by Maryanne Wolf, in which deep reading is described as a way to counteract the loss of empathy in our time, which she believes is one of the big problems of contemporary society. The thesis seeks to answer the question of how to design a high school literature class that focuses on deep reading.
