Gêneros textuais em livros didáticos de história: enfoque na diversidade de textos verbais

Abstract

We seek to investigate, as regards the teaching of history, which genres were inserted in two collections of textbooks, in order to understand which social spheres were prioritized. We are guided by the grouping proposal of genres in five orders: narrate, report, describe actions, expose and argue. We noticed an effort in the collection to meet the National Textbook Program and the Proposed National Curriculum, both of history, regarding the textual variety and multimodality of genre. However, the amount of other genres in comparison to didatic texts, subtitles and those related to the proposed activities were negligible. We consider indispensable to discuss more deeply the importance of textual diversity in history books and the roles they play for teaching basic skills to build knowledge in this area of knowledge.
