АЦО ШОПОВ ВО НАСТАВАТА ПО МАКЕДОНСКИ ЈАЗИК И ЛИТЕРАТУРА ВО СРЕДНОТО ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ / ACO ŠOPOV`S POETRY IN MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE TEACHING

Abstract

The poet Aco Šopov is present in the curricula of Macedonian language and literature
in secondary high school and in secondary vocational education in the fourth year of
education. By the end of the studies about Aco Šopov, his life and his writing, students
should be able to systematize the motifs and preoccupations of the poetry of the poet Aco
Šopov, as well as be able to present his development in poetry - from an engaged poet to a
poet of intimate lyrics. When achieving this learning outcome, students need to adopt the
terms that are most often associated with Šopov’s poetry: engaging lyrics, intimate lyrics
and reflective lyrics, but also to recognize his verses, composition and stylistic figures of
the poetry. Also, students are expected to base their interpretations on the recognized
figures, so that they will be able to determine the meanings of the selected poems and
their aesthetic qualities. Finally, the students are expected to discuss, value and comment
the verses of the poet Šopov, to know his role and significance in the development of
Macedonian poetry as well as its poetry in general. The recommended methods for the
realization of this teaching content - The poetry of Aco Šopov, are the method of teaching
interpretation, the monologue-dialogue and the text method. This paper will deal with
a specific description of the approach in the analysis and interpretation of some of Aco
Šopov’s poetry represented in the curricula of Macedonian language and literature
teaching in secondary education, whereby the proposed methods will be illustrated with
examples and concrete activities for the students.
