O gênero tirinhas no livro "Português Linguagens 3" e o trabalho com a leitura

Abstract

The genre tirinhas, as a text that is constructed eminently through images, contains empty places that must be filled by the reader through connections, inferences, activation of previous knowledge and world. Based on this, we propose this research which has as corpus of analysis the textbook “Portuguese Linguagens 3”, by Cereja and Magalhães (1990, 1994, 2013). Our goal is to analyze whether this manual, through its activities, has led the student to develop and enrich their reading skills. In order to establish a comparative analysis, in a temporal survey of this approach, we investigated 3 editions, analyzing in all 4 strips distributed throughout the editions of 1990, 1994 and 2013. As results, we could perceive that despite the recurrent presence of this genre in the manuals, there was no improvement work on the student’s reading skills, the strips only exemplified grammatical contents. In the few cases in which interpretive activities were proposed, it was confined to a single aspect of this text: the verbal, leaving aside a primordial element in the constitution of this genre, the imagery.
