The aim of the project is to summarize the development of students’ understanding of the fairy-tale structure on early stages of school literary education. They show how even on the first stages of teaching literature at school you can put into practice the main Propp’s statements about a fairy-tale structure. They also comment methodic ways of a philologist’s working and forms of students’ activity at lessons management, show the connection between a lesson and a research at free time, note the role of the introduction principal as one of the main motivating instrument in the process of realizing the project, describe the possibilities of using the Internet to search the necessary data.
