Jornal: da leitura para a escrita de um gênero

Abstract

This research describes and analyzes a proposed educational intervention carried out in a Brazilian public school in the city of Montes Claros -MG, with students aged 14 and 15, the ninth year of elementary school. From the realization that literary reading is restricted to the school environment and that it does not arouse the student's interest, we seek strategy to sensitize students to this problem and we set out, in partnership with students, to find solutions to solve it. Then came the idea of creating a scholar newspaper reviews so that students could socialize their reading and encourage other colleagues to read. The production of the newspaper described here had the publication of texts of the students about the book, Lady of José de Alencar. The project includes new publication with the readings they perform during the school year 2015.We observed that the students who did not like to read and, mostly, always interrupted before the end, the reading of literary books proposed by the school managed to perform the reading of the book, motivated by the collective work that has been done and the social purpose agreed from the beginning: to encourage literary reading and provide information that could help colleagues, guiding them in their choices of books to read. This research falls within the scope of Applied Linguistics, in that it works with the practice of literacy in the classroom, one of the discipline study objects, which is based on a conception of language as a social practice. The results point to the importance of seeking strategies to plan activities that provide students with opportunity to literary readings, aiming to sharpen the taste for reading and walking towards the player's training
