Literatura na sala de aula: ressignificando cantos pelos encantos da poesia

Abstract

This work deals with research on literary reading in the formation of the reader in Portuguese language classes in elementary school. The objective was to verify the potential of poetry, as a reading loaded with meanings, for the development of reading skills in the perspective of literacy. It is justified due to the observation of difficulties related to the comprehension of literary language by students in the process of reading training, as well as by the understanding of the importance of the context in which students are inserted for the purposes of a critical and contextualized reading experience. As a result, the proposal is based on the methodology of reading workshops for 9th grade classes of elementary school. The cordel poetry The appeal of concriz, by João Gomes Sobrinho (Xexéu), The animals are right, by Antônio Francisco, as well, as the song Assum Preto, by Luiz Gonzaga, whose theme is linked to the relationship established between men and animals, are an objects of reading. This theoretical and propositional research was based on the studies of Ferrarezi Jr. and Carvalho (2017), Lajolo (2009), Martins (1982), Zilberman and Rösing (2009), Brazil/BNCC (2017) regarding reading, their schooling process and the training of readers; Dalvi, Rezende and Faleiros (2013), Perrone-Moisés (2006) with regard to reading literature at school; Cosson (2019), Cosson and Paulino (2009), Zappone (2008) regarding literacy practices; Jauss (1994), Iser (1979) on the aesthetics of reception; Mansoldo (2012), Garrard (2006), Derrida (2002) on ecocriticism and man's relationship to nature and non-human beings; Pinheiro (2008), Abreu (1999), Pinheiro and Marinho (2012) and Haurélio (2013) regarding cordel literature; Kleiman (2002), Pinheiro (2018), Cosson (2019) regarding reading workshops; among others. It is concluded that the contact with the cordel genre, in a playful and creative reading experience in the classroom, contributes to the literacy of the students, making it possible to develop, in addition to reading skills, through literary language, a critical view around behavior human towards animals, as well as the construction of an ecological vision of man towards nature.
