All you need is love: execução de projeto interdisciplinar através de ensino remoto em tempos de Pandemia

Abstract

This project aims to make young students aware of the importance of eating healthy. Therefore, an interdisciplinary project developed among the curricular components of Biology, English and Portuguese with 1st year students of Vocational High School at IFPR, Curitiba was carried out. The title refers to the image of John Lennon on a wall in Prague wearing his new accessory, a mask as a symbol of self-care and care to the other. As a basis for the choice of materials, it was paramount to select a part of the contents within the biological area, linking it to the classification of organic and inorganic molecules, as well as the importance of macro and micronutrients for our food and the role of vitamins we should consume in our daily diet for maintaining immunity. In English and Portuguese, the activities were developed having the study of the menu as the main textual genre, with its specificities in relation to the linguistic structure. As a result, each group of students created a bilingual menu for a fictional school cafeteria having in mind the challenge of offering healthy food to its target audience. The content and result of their projects revealed an integrated teaching practice around a thematic axis with contents common to the areas, which were displayed on the Google Classroom platform. In relation to students, we realized that they acknowledge that they do not eat healthy, although they know the importance of a balanced diet. We have not been able to check accurately whether or not our students will change their eating habits from what they learned with this project, but we believe that we have carried out an important reflection for the moment.
