Summary/Abstract: In the context of the dispute regarding the need to modernise the upper‑secondary school final examination in Polish, it is worth considering the criteria for selecting appropriate genres to be included in the writing part of this examination. In this paper, the author invokes answers to the questions about what genre means for linguistic communication, what relation occurs between genre and text, what aspects need to be accounted for in the description of the individual genres, what circumstances should be taken into consideration with respect to the specificity of the school- and examination-related situations, and how the genre model affects text evaluation criteria. The author then presents a proposition for categorisation of school genres as well as outlines of selected genre models – an essay (a problem solving essay and an interpretive essay) and a school sketch (in various variants) – as the ones that are possible to introduce to the upper-secondary school final examination in Polish.
