Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to show how current didactics of teaching Polish literature can help to stir up curiosity of high school students in nineteenth century literature. The author argues that the pre-reading activities are crucial for discussing difficult literature of Polish Romanticism. Whether students decide to read III part of Forefathers’ Eve (Dziady. Część III) by Adam Mickiewicz and whether they recognize in this drama some important problems of contemporary youth and the modern world also depends on them. The article presents two different pre-reading strategies, which have been planned to prepare students for reading and discussing III part of Forefathers’ Eve (Dziady. Część III). The first strategy can be called “sociological approach.” Working in groups students have to provide features characterizing different social groups nowadays. The aim of this task is to make students aware of fact that people they meet on a daily basis are diverse, and represent various beliefs and behaviors which can be judged or discussed.
