Nem lhe conto, compadre: uma proposta de leitura do conto o Carro dos milagres de Benedito Monteiro

Abstract

This work is about the foundation, elaboration and execution of a proposal of pedagogical intervention that had as core the reading and discussion of the tale The car of the Miracles, of Benedicto Monteiro, in classroom, in a public school of the city of Acará-PA, where I teach in Portuguese. The proposal was conceived from the onsite verification of the distance between the students of the school and the Amazon literature and the perception of the necessity of practical and significant alternatives for the work with literature in the classroom. These problems were perceived year after year in the teaching of this school, and were confirmed by the application of a diagnostic questionnaire prior to the elaboration of the proposal. From this, the main objective of the work was to: to bring the Amazonian student closer to the literature in general and to the Amazon in particular, by means of an effective reading activity of the cited story, privileging the literary experience and the collective interpretation of the text. The subjects of the research were students of the 9th grade of Elementary School of the mentioned school. The option for the monteiro text was motivated by its literary attributes and by the remarkable presence of the cosmovision and the Amazonian culture, elaborated aesthetically by the author, dissociating from the mere caricature of the Amazonian universe. The research follows the basic principles of critical action research, as proposed by Ghedin and Franco (2008). The main scholars who base this work are: João Alexandre Barbosa (1994, 1996), Marcia Abreu (2006), Rildo Cosson (2010, 2014, 2015, 2016), Magda Soares (2011), Marisa Lajolo (2004), Maria Helena Martins (1994), Tzvetan Todorov (2008), Nádia Gotlib (2006) and Fátima Nascimento (2004). The proposal of pedagogical intervention is based on the basic sequence of literary literacy, according to Cosson (2014), and is composed of three stages: previous activities; reading and interpretation of the Monteiro story; and subsequent practical activities carried out from the reading of the text. The analysis of the application of the proposal shows that, despite the difficulties and unforeseen that affected the results of the activities, the proposal balance was quite positive, since the students expressed an empathic identification with the themes, the plot, the world view and the language of the text, and realized the aesthetic elaboration of the Amazonian reality in Monteiro's tale. The mentioned proposal is shown as a viable alternative for the necessary insertion of the amazonian literature in our Amazonian classrooms.
