Estratégias de leitura aplicadas a alunos de 6. ano de Ensino Fundamental II de uma escola da cidade de Patrocínio-MG

Abstract

The present dissertation aims to expose and discuss the development and application of a sequence of didactic intervention activities with reading and writing practices from reading strategies in the short story genre, demonstrating the importance of activating prior knowledge for better understanding of a text. With the purpose of assisting the teacher in the application of the activities, we elaborated an Activity Book, which, besides reading suggestions, we propose activities that can be performed before, during and after the reading of the stories. Initially, we developed and applied a questionnaire to analyze the students' opinions about reading, what it means to be a good reader, how many books they read, if they have a hard time understanding what they read, if the family members have a habit of reading and if their teachers influence them to read daily. We are based on the analysis of the students' responses in order to improve the study of the genus tale for students of the 6th year of an urban state school in the city of Patrocínio / MG. In the first stage, we analyzed several images of residents of public streets and discussed this theme with the purpose of making predictions regarding the theme of the text that we were going to work in the classroom. Following this, we read the story "I will never leave you" by Pedro Bandeira, and the reading of the song "Menino de rua", by Pepe Moreno, in order to establish thematic relations between the two texts. They were used as motivation for the first written production of a short story by students. We also did a rewrite, aiming to further improve the mastery of the written modality. We use as theoretical reference Kleiman (2005), Geraldi (1997), Solé (1998), Lajolo (2000), Soares (2002), Fulgencio and Liberato (2007), Ruiz (2013), among others. The results were satisfactory as the students became involved in the activities, actively participated in the discussions, felt motivated and able to produce a text they created. Discussing such a vivid problem in our society has made them reflect on the human being's capacity not to value what he has, leaving aside in many moments what others would like so much to have, but without the slightest possibility of get. Lastly, as mentioned earlier, we developed an activity booklet, as a suggestion for teachers, if you want to apply them in the classroom.
