The Bible in Language and Content: A Language and Literature Lesson Plan on Part III of Adam Mickiewicz’s Dziady

Abstract

This article proposes a methodological lesson integrating literary and linguistic education through the analysis and interpretation of Scene V (The Vision of Father Peter) from Adam Mickiewicz's Forefathers' Eve, Part III. The lesson design focuses on the concept of biblical stylization. Key elements of the lesson include: an introduction; a literary analysis of The Vision, which involves students listing  biblical events and identifying their functions; a linguistic analysis of biblical stylization, proposed in the form of group work to engage students; the introduction of interpretive contexts; and a summary. The article also includes material that Polish teachers can use in their lessons.
