O texto autobiográfico na sala de aula: uma proposta de ensino da produção escrita para alunos do 9° ano

Abstract

Reading and writing are two essential learnings in a knowledge-based society, and a citizen who does not master these two competencies sees his academic success and his possibilities for social inclusion compromised. This work aims to contribute to the teaching and learning of written production by students of the 9th grade of Elementary School of a public school in Fortaleza-CE through the production of autobiographical texts. Based on the proposal of Dolz, Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004), a didactic sequence is conceived as a methodological resource to verify students' performance in written texts as well as to prove the efficiency of such a procedure as a proposal for teaching textual production. In order to develop students' competence in the texts’ production, especially the written ones, the guidelines of the National Curriculum Parameters of the Portuguese Language, which guide the work with textual genres in the classroom and certify that it is necessary to contemplate the diversity of texts and genres, not only because of their social relevance, but also because texts belonging to different genres are organized in different ways, are also followed. In this perspective, we work on writing in the procedural approach according to Vieira (2005), aiming to value the students' identity and to emphasize their importance as participatory and critical individuals in the society where they live. The analysis of the data makes it possible to verify significant progress in the texts produced after the application of the didactic sequence and proves the effectiveness of this procedure as a proposal for intervention for the teaching of text production in the 9th year of Elementary School. It also allows teachers great satisfaction in verifying students' development, as well as providing these students with a visible sense of well-being in the face of the progress achieved in their textual productions. In summary, this work proposes to invest in the improvement of the reading and writing practices of Elementary School students and can be constituted as an applying pedagogical initiative to the Ideological Model of Reading and writing skills advocated by Street (2014).
