Vamos ao cinema?! O trabalho com o gênero resenha cinematográfica nas aulas de língua portuguesa

Abstract

The Portuguese language teaching in Brazil has undergone significant changes over the past decades. It is becoming increasingly challenging for teachers to build the knowledge in the classroom along with his students. The mother language teaching process in the school environment is based on acquisition and development of reading and writing skills. We know that this process is essential for the development of our students, as they will make use of such skills in the social environment in which they live, outside the school. Geraldi (2013) discusses about the importance of reading and textual production, emphasizing "what to say", "what for" and "for whom say" as a basis for building a desirable link between the text and the reader. From this perspective, our research purpose to develop students writing, as well as expand their critical/reflective attitude, focusing on the production of texts and their rewriting. According to the PCN, 1998, "working with the production of texts has for purpose to train writers capable of producing coherent, cohesive and effective texts". One of the difficulties that the teacher of Portuguese Language faces in public schools in Brazil is precisely to work with text production. To try to reduce this problem, we intend to develop a didactic sequence, taking as parameters the conceptions of Dolz and Schneuwly (2004). That sequence will be applied to a class of 9th grade, on a public school on the city of Sapé/PB. The students will produce film reviews. When working with such discursive genre, we hope to achieve teaching success proposing the use of the cinema as a pedagogical tool. Such resources arouse interest and fascinate children and adults. Marcos Napolitano (2003) says that, "working with film in the classroom is to help the school to rediscover the daily and the high culture at the same time, because cinema is the field in which aesthetics, leisure, ideology and social values are synthesized in the same work of art".
