Abstract: The article describes a lesson of home-reading of a novel “Lynx Tracks” by N.Nikonov. This is a tow-hour class that aims at expanding background knowledge, developing reading competence of students, practicing composition writing following the model of the Unifies State Exam in Russian and introducing theoretical literary notions, important for those students who are planning to take the Unifies State Exam in Literature. The second part of the lesson is a role-playing game “Literary Puzzle” that sums up the material studied and helps the students prepare the rough version of the composition on one of the problems discussed during the class. The lesson includes the following methods: teacher-centred approach, team-work and individual work with every student; most of the lesson is an independent work of students on their oral or written opinion on the story under study.
