Leitura e escrita por meio da poesia social: uma proposta para o ensino de língua portuguesa no 9º ano

Abstract

This research project, developed within the scope of the Professional Master’s PrograminLetters (ProfLetras/UFS), aims to investigate how social poetry can contributetothedevelopment of reading and writing skills among 9th-grade students in ElementarySchool,promoting reading enjoyment and authorial protagonism. The proposal emergedfromtheobservation of students’ resistance to reading longer texts and fromthe needfor moremeaningful pedagogical practices that articulate language, sensibility, and social criticism. Tothis end, the adopted methodology was action research, with a qualitative approach, carriedoutat Colégio Estadual Cônego Filadelfo Oliveira, located in the city of Laranjeiras, Sergipe,Brazil. The study was organized into three stages — diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation—and involved the implementation of an original didactic sequence, comprising approximately16 lessons, grounded in the principles proposed by Rildo Cosson (2011). The researchalsoengages with the works of authors such as Magda Soares (2006), Angela Kleiman(2008),Michel Thiollent (2008), Antônio Candido (2012), Tzvetan Todorov (2009), AlfredoBosi(2010), and Roland Barthes (2013), among others. The poems selected for reading andanalysiswere written by authors such as Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Manuel Bandeira, RenataPallottini, as well as João Sapateiro, a local poet, chosen for addressing, in an aestheticandcritical manner, themes such as inequality, exclusion, resistance, and belonging. Inadditiontostudents’ production of original poems, the project included the creation of threeliterarysocialization devices: the Literary Ballot Box, the Literary Box, and the Poetry Board, whichcirculated among different classes in the school. At the end of the process, a PedagogicalWorkbook was produced as the educational product of the master’s program, compilingtheworkshops carried out, the texts used, and methodological guidelines. This studyaimstocontribute to the appreciation of poetry in Portuguese language teaching and tofostertheformation of critical readers and writers who are sensitive to the world around them.
