Produção de textos escritos a partir de uma sequência didática envolvendo o gênero história em quadrinhos

Abstract

This monograph originated from the following research problem: What are the writing skills of students and the knowledge they present in relation to the textual genre? Given the above, we had as a general objective: to analyze the production of texts of a 4th grade class, from a didactic sequence involving the work with comics. This research is relevant because it provides educators with knowledge about the methodological procedures necessary for the formation of text producers and deals with a textual genre that facilitates the learning of reading and writing, an aspect so important in our graphocentric society. In its theoretical body, this monograph brings a discussion about the production of written texts. In addition, it deals with the historical emergence of the textual genre Comics and its relationship with education. As for the methodological procedures, a qualitative approach was used, starting from an action research with students of the 4th grade of elementary school of a municipal school in Recife. Firstly, an initial diagnosis was applied to verify the students' writing skills and their knowledge about the comic textual genre. Then, a didactic sequence was applied aiming to produce with the students comics about the city of Recife. With this study, it was found that the students already had some previous knowledge in relation to comics, being able to identify basic elements that characterize this genre. However, it was found that they had difficulties in the production of written texts, spelling problems, lack of punctuation, sentences starting with lowercase letters and difficulties in creating and selecting ideas. It was concluded that although children have writing difficulties, when they are inserted in significant writing practices and receive necessary help from the teacher, they advance in relation to writing.
