The presented work is purposed to realize, under the Applied Linguistic, a theoretical-propositive study about the active responsive manifestation in the textual production of 9th grade elementary school students, from the work with opinion article and commentary genders discourse in the argumentative interface, through activities which use gamification as a pedagogical proposal, because of this resource is part of the life in society and is the way that the students are inserted as subjects in the diverse social practices that they do participate, being these in scholar environment, familiar or in the digital environment. To effectuate, it was started by the following problematic: How can the activities elaborated with game mechanics base, gamification, contribute to the active responsive manifestation of the learners in the genders discourse production? To answer this question, it was elaborated a set of activities to the argumentative genders textual production, adapted from the genders discourse reading and writing project of Lopes-Rossi (2008), compound by organized activities with game mechanics – gamification, which search to confirm/to deny two hypothesis: a) gamificated activities, because of having the engagement and the motivation to solve problems as objective, do collaborate to the active responsive manifestation of 9th grade students in textual production of the opinion article and commentary genders; b) the students manifest active responsive during the activities that involve the texts rewriting. It was defined as the main goal to verify the active responsive manifestation in the textual production of the opinion article and comments genders discourse, from a game mechanics elaborated activity proposal, the gamification and, as specific objectives: a) to ascertain if the gamificated activities, which require the teachers responsibility in the knowledge construction, does collaborate for a active responsive action of the students in the textual production; b) to verify the active responsive manifestation in the early production of the opinion article and commentary genders discourse in the diagnostic activities. To the theoretical reasoning, it was based in Bakhtin’s Circle thoughts principles about the dialogical nature of the language and the responsiveness, as well as in theorists and researchers who develop works related to the textual production in the classroom in this perspective, as Geraldi (1996), Sercundes (2004), Fiad and Mayrink-Sabinson (2019) and Menegassi (2016); the studies about multiliteracy of Street (2013, 2014), Kleiman (1995), Soares (2006), Rojo e Moura (2012) e Rojo e Barbosa (2015), Alves (2015) and Paula (2016) about gamification as pedagogical practice. The investigation is characterized as a qualitative research, based in the interpretativism, with propositive disposition and applied nature, which the initial results obtained from the diagnostic analysis show that the learners do manifest active responsive position in relation to the production proposal understanding, to the gender purpose attendance and to the thematic content in the textual production of the discursive genders opinion article and reader commentary. These results were used as a base to the elaboration of a educational product activity in order to contribute to the active responsive manifestation of the learners in the textual production, shaped as a pedagogical activity book, directed to Portuguese Language teachers.
