The language is spontaneous, simple and understandable. The sentences are syntactically clear. The essence of the paper is focused on the presentation of travelogues as a suitable genre for processing in teaching practice. The text is more than a grateful support for methodical processing in primary school because it awakens the imagination of students, and that is above all a sufficient motivation for a literary work to be processed in a valid methodical way and thus awaken conscious student activity.
