Moita Bonita, 60 anos : um projeto foto-lírico na educação básica

Abstract

The photopoem is a new, hybrid genre that combines two arts: literature and photography. It has been worked on in the school context in order to broaden knowledge about this poetic form, as well as helping to encourage reading and the production of texts/poems and helping with the sentimental issues of our contemporary students. In this sense, this work aimed to instigate students' awareness of the city in which they live, in order to stimulate loving, critical, reflective and also intervening views on the responsibilities that each citizen should have in the society in which they live. With this in mind, this article presents a proposal for a pedagogical intervention aimed at 7th grade students, based on an experience carried out in a state school in the city of Moita Bonita - SE. In general terms, the practice involved activities aimed at reading, understanding the genre of photopoetry and writing photopoems alluding to the 60th anniversary of the political emancipation of the city of Moita Bonita. Ramalho (2014, 2020, 2021); Oliveira (2018); Cosson (2006); Zilberman (2009); Candido (2006); Pinheiro (2007); Dolz, Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004) were used as theoretical support; Oliveira (2021) Koury (2004); Mauad (1996); Felizardo and Samain (2007); Gens Filho (2014), Menezes de Lima (2013), Ouro (2021), Pereira de Lima (2014); Oliveira (2022) and Bailey (2012). To implement this methodology, a sequence of actions was drawn up: prior conversation with the students about the selected theme; discussion and preparation of questions to be asked during a lecture with the history teacher and Municipal Secretary of Education of Moita Bonita, Maria José Ferreira Lima de Souza; debate and discussion about the lecture; tour of the main points of the city to take photographs to be made by the students; workshops on photopoetry and critical reading based on an anthology of short poems; the production of photopoems based on the records made during the tour of their hometown, so that, finally, a tribute could be paid to the city for the celebration date, instigating citizen awareness and also improving the students' literacy levels, especially lyrical literacy. The product of this whole process was a didactic sequence, which will enable other teachers to develop similar activities.
