The aim of this analysis is to prove, that the research is relevant nowadays. Within the gymnasium best slogan competition in honor of its anniversary two different workshops were held. Two classes were involved in this analysis. Each class had its own workshop. The difference between them was that one of them contained the research results and the information about creating slogans and the other one didn’t. After listening to the information students were told to create slogans for our gymnasium. They were given 5 minutes for this task. Then the slogans were collected and used as a material for the analysis.
The materials of analysis are presented in Table 1.


Table 1 – The results of analysis
Slogans of students, that had the information about creating slogans
Slogans of students, that had not the information about creating slogans
1.     It’s time to study;
1.     Do your best and the result will never wait for you!
2.     Best education is here;

3.     Feel yourself free here;

4.     A paradise for learning;

6.     Nothing special but it works;

9.     Learn;

10.         Good education for good students.
10.         The greatest opportunity to get the best education.

The experiment involved students of the 9th form (14-15 years). Group, which was not provided information about creating slogans, took much more time than the other one who knew this information. Looking at slogans, which are presented in Table 1, we see that almost all slogans contain verbs, but clearly the number of words in slogans, that were created by students that knew all the information, is much less that in the other one.
However, the analysis was not completely accurate, because of the fact, that students, which were involved in this analysis, were not specially selected by their personal qualities and intellectual level. But in a subsequent study of the topic, we will try to conduct such experiment as clean as possible.
