Fiřtová, Kristina ; Hník, Ondřej (advisor) ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (referee)
Résumé Students of the 1st grade of four-year-grammar school are not well-informed about contemporary literary life. They think that only books that are currently being published should be classified as literature, knowing only the world bestsellers from all of the books that have actually been published. Students have almost never visited any reading or literary fairs. They know nothing about the various Czech literary awards. Some Czech writers, to them, are no longer relevant, for example Arnošt Lustig or Karel Šiktanc. In their minds, the success of an author is measured by the volume of sales and value of money. The severely marginalized authorial status, by viewing the writer not as a "prophet", but instead as an entertainment producer. People generally prefer special effects which offer immediate gratification, because they don't want to spend the time and concentration it takes to read. As far as the students are concerned, reading is boring and difficult. Czech students aren't tought to see value in reading. This could be the result of the methods which are used at Czech schools - suppressing critical thinking and paying more attention to the acquisition of knowledge. A five day project was created for this vary reason. Activities which could be integrated in the domain of literary life are...

Špinková, Markéta ; Hník, Ondřej (advisor) ; Hausenblas, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis presents a set of worksheets designed for the 6th grade of lower secondary school. The texts are purposely chosen to be various (e.g. extracts of novels, a short story, myth, poetry, song) and are accompanied with a set of related questions and tasks for pre-reading, while-reading, post-reading and extra activities. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of the focus group and describes its specifics and their probable influence on school performance (starting lower secondary education, changes in class group, entering the period of pubescence). The theoretical part is mainly focused on the different types of activities divided according to the way of working with the text (e.g. brainstorming, condensation, own creative activity) and function (e.g. anticipation, activation of knowledge). It also deals with interaction patterns and their suitability for different types of activities. The main part of the thesis contains worksheets with shortly characterized texts and related questions and tasks supplied with methodical and didactical comments.
