Ethical conversation as an element of preparing primary school pupils to essay on morality

Stelmakhova Larisa Aleksandrovna

The article considers the methodology for conducting an ethical conversation that precedes the writing of an essay on moral issues by younger students based on the analysis of the Russian folk tale “Finist the Bright Falcon”. It is noted that an ethical conversation should be built in the form of a lively discussion of problems that are relevant in our time and largely affect the lives of modern people. Questions of a heuristic nature should actualize the experience of children, help them to realize the problems posed in the fairy tale as important to them and determining their modern and future life.
