A literatura paraibana na sala de aula: caminhos e descobertas para a formação de leitores literários em uma turma do 9° ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

Considering the teaching of literature in the public network in Paraíba, we propose with this research an approach to the literary text based on a teaching that prioritizes the work in its fullness, supporting us in the studies of Solé (1998) and Colomer (2007) on reading and reader training. We chose to work with texts by authors from Paraíba, since there is a shortage of supply and circulation of such productions among students and most schools and teachers do not use texts by authors from Paraíba in Portuguese classes, nor do they know or have access to the production. literary paraibana in fact be that of the past, be that of the present. We chose the short story genre because it is a short narrative that can be read integrally in the space-time of the classroom and given the demands of schools for compliance with the curriculum and contents and that can favor the work with a greater variety of authors/ as and themes. In this way, we worked with the short stories “Because we are very poor” and “Três cachaças”, by the writer Geraldo Maciel; “The day we eat Maria Dulce” and “Eyes on the Floor”, by the writer Antônio Mariano; “The woman, the boys, and the military dictatorship: letter to Gregório” and “I, Brazilian, widowed, 75 years old”, by the writer Dôra Limeira; “Revência” and “The spurious son”, by the writer Marília Arnaud. We based our research on studies by Aguiar and Bordini (1988), Ferrarezi and Carvalho (2017), Cardematori (2012), Petit (2008; 2009), Cosson (2006), and Zilberman (1988) and their considerations on teaching literature and the training of readers. We also used the official documents Base Nacional Comum Curricular (2018) and Curricular Proposal of the State of Paraíba (2018) and their proposals for teaching literature. The research was applied at the Municipal School Rômulo José de Gouveia, located in the city of Campina Grande - PB, in a group of the 9th-grade Elementary School. The main objective of this research is to formulate teaching strategies and analyze the reception of texts from Paraíba literature in a 9th-grade elementary school class, contributing to the formation of literary readers. Specifically, it is intended to: address short stories by authors from Paraíba in literature classes, focusing on the effective reading of these texts, through a planned reading sequence taking into account the selected texts and the context of the classroom in the online modality; to analyze how the text-reader identification is constituted, through the selection of short stories by authors from Paraíba; analyze how texts are received in the remote teaching modality, considering the last two objectives; reflect on the mediation carried out by the teacher-researcher, through the results and, above all, the reading process developed in the experiment in a virtual classroom. With this work, we promote the teaching of literature that can contribute to the formation of readers, based on the possibility of expanding the students' critical thinking, contributing to a sensitive look at our society, in addition to encouraging knowledge and reading of productions from Paraíba in the reader training process.
