Sample of filling out a reader's diary

A. For poetic works

    “A crow is once a piece of fox”, “Well, it finally worked out”, “Night street lantern pharmacy”.

once a piece of fox was sent to the crow by some kind god and the fable became much shorter and fairer

Well, it finally worked out Sisyphus tiredly lit a cigarette on a stone, sat and thought, jumped up and pushed him down

night street lantern pharmacy no joke uncle fell ill tell me uncle it’s not for nothing that poets bake pies

  1. In the first and second poems there is no lyrical hero, because in both cases the plot is not lyrical, but epic. In the third work, the lyrical hero is presented implicitly: there is no explicit nomination, but the poem itself represents the speech of the lyrical “I”.

    “The Internet has been conquered by pies - quick, ruddy and hot quatrains, written without punctuation, without capital letters and, as a rule, without rhyme. Pirozhkova poetry is actively spreading through social media, and therefore most of the quatrains have already lost their authors: they move from page to page, like aphorisms or Internet memes.<...> The pie, as follows from the rules of the communities, should “excite, not be banal and correspond to the spirit of the pie.” (Vagina, M. Pies: how they write and what they eat with [ Electronic resource] / M. Vagina // Opinions.ru. – URL: 4)

“Once upon a time, there were wonderful authors... They still live, but once upon a time they wrote... They write now, but then they wrote haiku. It was quite a big and fun party on the site hokku.ru, as well as its branches stih.ru. At some point, the owners of the site stopped working on it, and it began to periodically stop working. In this regard, an author named Vadim Sakhanenko (Sokhas) opened a forum on the fastbb engine (later turned into borda), where he invited his friends and acquaintances from Hokkura to write haiku, as well as experiment with other minimalist poetic genres: double hokku with rhyme, limericks and others; Subsequently, all these sections of the forum were closed, and only one cherished genre remained.

At the beginning of 2003, user al cogol (Vladislav Kungurov) published on the website stih.ru poem "pies". It consisted of several quatrains written in acatalectic iambic tetrameter, lowercase letters, without rhyme or punctuation. The poem was very cool and unusual, the quatrains were, in general, unrelated to each other, most of the quatrains were about food. Vadim saw this poem, he really liked it, and he suggested that Vladislav create a genre out of it and write pies on his forum. Quickly defining the rules of the genre in mutual correspondence, Sohas and al cogol began exchanging these short, funny poems. This happened at the end of 2003. This moment can be considered the starting point for pies as an independent genre.” (Vasiliev, V. History of pies [Electronic resource] / V. Vasiliev // Pirozhkovaya. – URL: http://www.perashki.ru/info/History)

    All three texts belong to the “pie” genre. General features: quatrain, iambic tetrameter, writing in lowercase letters without punctuation, numbers and hyphens. Number of syllables in lines: 9-8-9-8. The syllables are clearly written: « Vŏ -ró -nĕ rá z toў -Withó k lŭ -Withú -tsӹ // pŏ -slá OKă -Toó y tŏ dó -brӹ y bó G". Abbreviations are written with vowels, numbers - with letters. Rhyme is most often absent. It is worth noting that the first poem retains the features of the fable genre, a parody of which this text is: the absence of a lyrical hero and lyrical experience, didactic beginning (morality), epic plot.

    Pies are a phenomenon of modern online literature, in which some features of postmodern poetics are observed: citation classical works, transformation famous stories, a game with the reader. So, for example, in the first text the plot of I. A. Krylov’s classic fable “The Crow and the Fox” is transformed and parodied, the consequence of which, while observing all the rules of “pies,” is a rethinking of didactic poetry as such. The second poem obviously contains a mythological plot, which is also reinterpreted: Sisyphus is not the executor of the will of fate, but the creator of his own destiny. The third poem consists almost entirely of exact or distorted quotes from famous poetic works by Blok, Pushkin and Lermontov, which, following each other in a certain order, form a completely independent original plot. The absence of punctuation marks, characteristic of pirozhkova poetry, allows the text to be read both as a centon and as the lyrical hero’s own speech.

B. For epic works

    "Chicken Ryaba." Folklore work.

    Once upon a time there lived a grandfather and a woman, they had a pockmarked chicken. The hen laid an egg:

Motley, bright, boney, wise, I planted an egg in an aspen hollow, in a cubby under a bench.

The mouse ran, returned with its tail, and broke a testicle. About this egg, the grandfather began to cry, the grandmother began to sob, burst into laughter, chickens flew, the gates creaked, rubbish began to smoke under the threshold, the doors began to shake, the tyne crumbled, the top of the hut began to shake...

And the pockmarked hen says to them: Grandfather don’t cry, grandma don’t cry, chickens don’t fly, don’t squeak, don’t smoke litter under the threshold, don’t crumble, don’t shake the top of the hut - I’ll lay you another egg: motley, bright, boney, wise , the egg is not simple - golden.

    Event sequence: the chicken laid an egg - the mouse broke it - the world is collapsing - the chicken promises to lay another egg, better than the previous one, and restore world order.

Characteristics of the characters: Grandfather and Baba - the characters do not have any personal characteristics, therefore they are not individualized and, most likely, are the embodiment of the mythological idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe ancestors.

Chicken Ryaba is the personification of cosmic forces, endowed with speech, since she is a character in a fairy tale.

The mouse, the personification of demonic forces, breaks the egg that the chicken laid and causes chaos.

    “Of other details significant in connection with the motif of the egg as the beginning of the universe and one way or another found in the Slavic folklore or ritual tradition, one should emphasize the splitting of the egg and the golden color of the egg as a whole. It is permissible to think that an extremely degenerate version of these ideas is found in the famous children's fairy tale about the hen that laid the golden egg and the mouse that split it; the parallel can be continued by pointing to the role of a bird, and often a motley bird (sea grouse). And this combination of the motifs of a golden egg on the water and a bird, as has long been established, is equivalent to the motif of the sun rising from the waters and setting into the waters.” (Toporov, V. N. Towards the reconstruction of the myth of the world egg (based on Russian fairy tales) [Text] / V. N. Toporov // Toporov V. N. World tree: Universal sign complexes. T. 1. - M. : Manuscript monuments Ancient Rus', 2010. – P. 399).

“The main steps in the process of transformation of myth into a fairy tale: deritualization and desacralization, weakening of strict belief in the truth of mythical “events”, development of conscious invention, loss of ethnographic specificity, replacement of mythical heroes with ordinary people, mythical time with fabulously uncertain... shifting attention from collective destinies into individual and from cosmic to social, which is associated with the emergence of a number of new subjects and some structural limitations.” (Meletinsky E. M. Poetics of myth [Text] / E. M. Meletinsky. - M., 1976. - P. 264).

    This is a folklore everyday tale. Features of the genre: depiction of the cosmogonic principle through everyday scenes; characters usually do not have individual characteristics. The fairy tale "Ryaba Hen" is most interesting text, in which you can see several myths related to cosmogony, eschatology and the traditionalist cyclicality of eras.

    This text is folklore, and therefore cannot be considered from the point of view of belonging to one or another aesthetic paradigm.

    Previously, “The Ryaba Hen” seemed to me like a fairy tale of the absurd, without the slightest applied meaning, like a spell: you got an egg - and you seem to be glad that there is a golden thing - but for some reason they want to break it (into pieces, I thought so). They hit for a long time and decisively, although it is clear that you cannot break a metal thing. They left him alone, but then a mouse came running. Why they didn’t break it, but why the egg broke on the floor is a mystery. Well, it crashed - now, rejoice! And suddenly they roar! Why? Because the mouse stole the thrill of breaking them? Out of envy and resentment towards her? Or did you suddenly realize that it didn’t hurt and you wanted to break it? And do you feel sorry for him as a whole?

And then the chicken comes and consoles me: I’ll take another one, but it’s simple! So they needed gold!!! How can her simple stupid egg console them??? These are two different things, and simple things will not console you about gold. In short, it was a complete mystery for me. And I thought - this is just so, conspiracy rubbish - to charm the children’s teeth.

The school year has ended and all schoolchildren received lists of works for. As a rule, when handing out lists of works, the teacher requires that everything read in the summer be written down. And this requirement to keep a Reading Diary often causes indignation among parents, and consequently, the child begins to have a negative attitude towards this and does not comply with the teacher’s demands. Of course, this will not lead to anything good.

Let's figure out why and who needs it

Some parents say indignantly: “I am against reading diaries. This is a stupid way of writing out the main characters, storylines- sometimes I don’t even remember what someone’s name is and the name of the author is parallel to me. I liked it, read it, and forgot about it.” Based on this comment, it turns out that We read in order to forget?!

Children read works not in order to forget, but in order to take away some thought from any work, to learn something new for themselves. In addition, very often the school holds various competitions, quizzes, intellectual marathons, in which you need to remember everything you once read. If a child reads it and forgets, then, of course, he won’t remember anything. Those. The book was read in vain, nothing was left in my head.

“Mine doesn’t need this, and she does it under pressure. It doesn’t make her any better.” Of course, if a child does it under pressure, then positive emotions it won't cause. And it is not intended to develop a love of reading. It has a completely different goal - to teach the child to draw conclusions from what he read, to help the child better remember and understand the work.

Among parents there are many who support Reader's diary. “At the beginning, black hole is good. It disciplines. This allows you to dot the i's in what you read and draw conclusions, at least two or three sentences. And in the end, it helps to express your thoughts in writing.” It is absolutely rightly noted that keeping a Reader’s Diary disciplines and teaches you to draw conclusions about what you read.

Another mother continues the same thought: “No, he definitely didn’t discourage us from reading or the ability to do it. But new skills, one might say, have appeared. It was clearly visible how in 2nd grade I was generally bad at text analysis; I could barely write a diary. And at 3 it was already easy”

So why do you need a Reader's Diary?


IN elementary school It is very difficult for students to formulate their thoughts, not only in writing, but even orally. Ask your child to say what he read about. IN best case scenario, the child will begin to retell the text in great detail and this will drag on for a long time. And say in one sentence what is written in this fairy tale, what this story teaches or main idea Students of grades 1-2 and often even grades 3-4 will not be able to express the text. They just don't know how to do it.

When conducting Reader's diary The child needs to write down the main idea in a separate column and express it in 1-2 sentences. This means that the child learns to draw a conclusion and express it in a very short phrase.

By analyzing the work and formulating a conclusion, the child better remembers the meaning of the work and, if necessary, he will easily remember this work.

By writing down the author of the work and the main characters, the child remembers this data. If this work is read during extracurricular reading, during competitions, quizzes, the child, after leafing through his reading diary, will easily remember both the characters of the work and the plot.

By reading various works and writing down the general content in a reading diary, the child not only trains, but also learns to analyze the work, highlight the main idea of ​​the author, and understand what the author wanted to convey to the reader with his work. The child develops reading skills and reader culture.

Parents, by monitoring the maintenance of a reading diary, can easily track the interests of the child, understand which genre or direction interests the child more and, if necessary, adjust the direction of reading, offer the child books of a different genre.

How to design a reader's diary?

There is no uniform requirement for the design of a reading diary at school. Therefore, each teacher introduces his own requirements. I will show you how I require you to keep a Reader's Diary, and you yourself will choose the form of keeping a diary.


The main goal of keeping a Reading Diary is not to burden the child and parents. extra work, but to teach to draw conclusions and develop the culture of the reader. Consequently, the requirements for the Reader's Diary are based on this goal. Therefore, my requirements forFormation is minimal. When keeping a reader's diary, immediately after reading a work or chapter, if the work is large, write down your conclusions.

For the Reader's Diary, we take a very ordinary notebook, preferably not very thin, so that it will last for the whole year, and not just for the summer. Let's break it down into several columns:

♦ reading date,

title of the work,

♦ main characters,

"About what?" Here the child, with the help of his parents, writes down the main idea of ​​the text in 1-2 sentences.

If you fill it out regularly, it doesn’t take much time, but it does a good job of cementing the work in the child’s memory. And then, when in academic year, we conduct quizzes, extracurricular reading, children turn to their Reader's Diary and remember which stories by N. Nosov they read, which characters are in fairy tales, the authors of the works and other data.

Moreover, if the work is large and the child reads slowly, then you can write down not only the chapters, but also the page numbers, if the chapter is very large and is read for more than one day.

Teach your child to keep a Reading Diary from the first grade, help him in the second, and then the child will do it himself. By spending very little time filling out the Reading Diary, you will teach your child to analyze what they read, better understand and remember books, and form a culture of reading.

It is interesting to know your opinion on the issue of maintaining a Reader's Diary. How do you lead it?

Look at what a Reader's Diary might look like

You can also use a ready-made option :

Many parents try to instill a love of reading in children with early childhood. Of course, how well a son or daughter reads quickly and outperforms his peers.

However, many children are often dissatisfied with reading; they simply do not want to read and are not interested in books.

To do this, many literature teachers suggest making a reading diary, which will make this process interesting and exciting.

Child psychologists say that a reading diary is a necessary thing.

It will make reading easier, the child will be able to write down all the stories he read, starting from early childhood, and in the future it will become his pride and pleasant memory.

So, what does a reading diary give, namely, what does it teach the child:

  • It helps to correctly understand the main idea of ​​the story you read.
  • With its help, the child learns to retell correctly, express his thoughts, and speak competently.
  • His memory improves, he analyzes the work and draws his own conclusion.
  • Remembers the works read and their authors.
  • It develops reading skills and reader culture.

Sample design

You can design a reading diary for grades 1, 2, 3, 4 at your discretion.

On the Internet you can view samples of ready-made options that can be taken as a basis.

But it’s still worth considering its sections and their contents first:

Chapter Description
Front page This is the cover that should contain important information– student’s first and last name, class, school number.

The title “Reader’s Diary”, “Reader’s Diary”, “I Read with Pleasure” is also indicated.

Additionally, you can decorate the cover colorfully, draw pictures, patterns, stick pictures

Content It's a good idea to leave a few blank pages at the beginning of your diary for content. They will indicate the names of the books that the child has read
Diary spread This part states the most important thing - summary, story, main characters, main idea. Frames, tables, logos, drawings can be used for design.
Additional sections You can include sections called “My golden collection”, “I recommend reading”, “Read it, you won’t regret it!”

Many literature teachers use ready-made forms in which the student can indicate the stories he has read, write a summary, reviews, and write down other important information.

Below are sample designs:

Example of correct filling

For students in grades 1, 2, 3, 4, there are items that must be included in the reading diary.

Consider:

  • Title of the work.
  • Full name author.
  • You must indicate the genre in which the work is written.
  • It is advisable to draw a picture for a book you read.
  • List of the main characters of the story. It is recommended to specify brief description to everyone.
  • Brief content of the work. This paragraph should indicate what we're talking about in the story, what you liked and what you didn’t.

Each parent can fill out a diary with their child. You can also think over your own filling and design options.

The child can add drawings himself; colored pens, pencils, paints, felt-tip pens and other decorative devices can be used for decoration.

Important! If a diary is being made for a 1st grade student, then it will be difficult for him to compose a description and description of the story on his own.

Parents must fill it out with him at first; they must explain how this is done and attract his attention.

Ready reader's diary

  • Read the title, first name, last name of the author.
  • Flip through me, look at all the illustrations.
  • Guess what I'm going to tell you about.
  • Read the text yourself in small parts, check and clarify your assumptions.
  • Think about why I have this name.
  • Work on the features of speech: voice color, volume, tempo.

Sample recommended list of extracurricular reading

Types of reading diaries

Depending on the goal pursued by the teacher, several types of diaries can be distinguished:

  • diary report on the number of pages read silently or aloud, notes from parents who read with the child. There may be the following columns: number, title of the work and full name of the author, number of pages read, type of reading (aloud and silent), parent signature. Used in primary school.
  • diary report on books read. Only book titles, author names, reading dates (June 2014, August 2014, etc.) are taken into account. There may also be “marginal notes,” that is, brief remarks about the book.
  • diary-cheat sheet with mini-analysis of works. Let's talk about it in more detail.

What should be in a reader's diary and how to fill it out?

  • Full name of the author of the work
  • Title of the work
  • Number of pages
  • Genre of the work (poem, novel, short story, etc.)
  • In what year was the work written? What is this year known for in history? What was the situation in the country where the author lived?
  • Main characters. You can simply indicate their names, but you can also give a brief description: age, connections with other characters (older brother, father, friend, etc.), appearance, favorite activities, habits, you can give the page numbers on which the author gives the characteristics to the hero. Do you want to be like a hero? Why?
  • The plot, that is, what the book is about.
  • Review of the book.
  • List of key episodes in the book with page numbers.
  • The era in which the work takes place, or specific years. Who was in power then? In what country or city does the action take place?

High school students can also provide additional information:

In addition to the usual information, you need to give your child the opportunity to draw in a reader’s diary, do crosswords, scanword puzzles, puzzles, also write a letter to the author of the book or characters, etc.

Is it possible to help a child keep a diary?

Yes, especially in primary school it may be too difficult for him. Moreover, you can even read together and, as you read, discuss the book, characters, events and fill out a diary.

Many adults do not pay enough attention to the format and appearance reading diary, and children do not feel the desire to fill them out. But let's think: what are the child's motives for reading? Why does he read (especially children under 6th grade)? Why is he filling out the diary? It is unlikely that at this age he does this consciously; most likely, he was simply “forced”. But we must remember that children may simply be interested in working in a big and beautiful notebook, fill out signs, etc. Therefore, we propose to devote special attention design of a reader's diary and offer several templates.
