A importância do gênero romance para a formação de leitores na escola

Abstract

Based on the assumption that reading is an important task, through which critical attitudes are developed, capable of making it possible to perceive a multiplicity of voices in a text, this study proposes to work with the novel genre in the work "Captains of the Sand "by Jorge Amado. To achieve this purpose, the objective is to instigate the questioning, analysis and more in-depth reflection of the theme of the work in focus. The justification for this research is the fact that there is a need to make students become critical readers, autonomous and capable of interacting actively in the environment in which they live. In this action research, as theoretical foundation, the studies of Bakhtin (2003), Benjamin (1994), Duarte (1996), Freire (2005), Kleiman (2002), Koch (2014), Lajolo (1993) Marcuschi (2012), Silva (2002) and Travaglia (2004) among other authors. Methodologically, we opted for a qualitative research, which will consist of the collection of information and study about the low reading performed by the students of the 9th year A, with a universe of 32 students, observing the types of readings made, based on the Development of each in the formation of critical opinions. The sources of data collection were: interview and bibliographic research. We take as textual genre for reading and studying the novel Captains of the Sand, by Jorge Amado. In addition, we provide classroom oral argumentation practices between students and teachers. For the analysis of the category of study "critical reading", a corpus of texts written by the students was created, of the opinative type, appreciative, in short, argumentative. Researches show that the practice of critical reading assists in the formation of autonomous readers and capable of contributing to the environment in which they live.
