Application of the modern network literature (fan-literature) when studying geography

In article it is noted that the modern geographical education has to be based not only on the system of geographical knowledge, but also on knowledge of other objects studied at school on information which is available both in classical works of art, and in the modern literature. Use in educational process of compositions based on popular original literary works, works of art and comics is considered. Amateur compositions, or the fanfics read by pupils of educational institutions can be efficiently used as didactic material on classes in geography, history and also other objects. The novelty of work is that to use at lessons of geography not works of classical fiction, but the modern network literature written by young authors and using various general means of strengthening of pictorialism such as attribution, giponimization and etymology are offered. The analysis of these means of strengthening of pictorialism which are contained in various fragments of the considered amateur compositions gave the chance not only to consider fragments of fanfics for use at geography lessons, but also giving them metasubject comments on literature. During experienced and practical work several amateur compositions based on the most popular works of art are used, and reading by pupils of fragments of the offered fanfics made active their cognitive interest. Also it was offered to school students to look for the works of the modern network literature containing geographical information and to the end of experienced and practical work pupils sent more than 300 fragments containing geographical information. Among results of a research It should be noted that at school students the attitude to geography was to the best changed, children began to be interested in many fields of science, and the made hypothesis of granting the teacher of ample opportunities of the choice of the text of the fanfic for use at geography lessons, was confirmed.
