Summary/Abstract: Romanian literature in schools nowadays is determined by two coordinates: development of text comprehension and interpretation and awareness of the cultural periods and the representative writers in Romanian culture. The first promises to form a strategic, autonomous reader, the second aims at developing a cultural identity. Regarding the study of Romanian literature, the curriculum establishes both the canonic writers and the track to offer a general view. As far as the second aspect is concerned, one should highlight the fact that the authors of the curricula have chosen a generic and historical model that constitute a history of prose (10th Grade), a history of drama and Romanian poetry (11th Grade). The last year in high-school opens a chronological perspective shaped under the form of debates and systematization. A deeper analysis of the curricula illustrates the orientation towards forming real comprehension and interpretation skills. The present paper deals with text interpretation modern techniques which ensure the right information assimilation and development of intellectual skills. These generate a trans-disciplinary text approach. These techniques are applied on I.L. Caragiale’s short-story, ”In vreme de razboi”.
