Cordel e meio ambiente: a formação de leitores do texto literário no ensino fundamental

Abstract

This dissertation is a research around the cordel literature in the process of formation of readers from the perspective of literary literacy. The interest was in enabling the students a reading experience capable of leading them to extract, debate and interpret the meanings of the text through a critical - reflective look, through cordels on human behavior towards nature. The theoretical framework used is based on studies of popular literature, focused on specific gender; the formation of the reader and the literacy practices, situating the methodological basis for the work with the reader competence, and ecocritica, theory that seeks to understand the relationship of man with the environ ment. Among those mentioned studies, we highlight Marinho and Pinheiro (2012) , Cosson (2014), Brazil (2017) Candido (2004), Freire (1999), Garrard, (2006), Gifford (2009), among others. The methodology is based on factors of action research, qualitative, applied to a class of 8°years, aged between 12 and 17 years, a public elementary school in Paraíba. Data collection took place from applied activities such as questionnaires, workshops, basic sequence and the production of a cordel text, besides the dramatized experience with this literary genre. In theoretical and practical terms, the research concludes that the cordel in the classroom is an instrument that can provide the pleasant involvement of students in the process of formation of the readers of the literary text, enabling contact with the literary language in the perceptual of a literacy able to provide reflection on human actions, in this case specifically related to the envvironmental issue, in order to understand the need to respect the coexistence with the environment.
