Leitura de poemas em sala de aula: uma proposta para a educação literária do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

The Professional Master's degree dissertation, entitled: Reading of poems in the classroom: a proposal for literary education in the 9th Grade of Elementary School, aims to promote literary reading in a 9th grade class in a public school in the municipal elementary school system, located on BR 316, in the municipality of Ananindeua in the state of Pará, Brazil. Based on the perceptions of the difficulties that students have in understanding and interpreting poems, we sought to implement activities in order to, if not solve, alleviate this reading problem of texts of the poem genre. With this, we intend to improve the reading competence of students and provide them with literary education that is increasingly losing its place in the pedagogical practices in elementary school in Portuguese classes. This work started with a class from the eighth grade of the morning shift and continued, practically with the same students, into the ninth grade in the afternoon shift. Regarding the methodology, we followed, in an adapted way, the strategies of Cosson (2014, 2018) with its basic sequence to develop the pedagogical activities: motivation, introduction, reading and interpretation. We also rely on the theories of Thiollent (2011) to guide research-action in terms of quantitative and qualitative aspects. To give support to our ideas about teaching literature reading, we sought the knowledge of the following writers: Petit (2009), Lajolo (2002), Zilberman (1991), Zilberman and Silva (2008) and Todorov (2009); in addition to theorists on reading poetry in the school space, such as Aristotle (2008), Candido (1996, 2000, 2006), Gebara (2002), Pinheiro (2018), Pilati (2018), Sorrenti (2013).and We selected the following poets for the implementation of the activities with their respective chosen poems. From the literature of the national canon, the corpus: Mario Quintana, “The adolescent” and “The note”, Manuel Bandeira, “Poem taken from a newspaper news” and “I am leaving for Pasárgada”; Cecilia Meireles, “Either this or that” and “Woman in the Mirror”. And from the Pará canon: Bruno de Menezes, “Poetry IV” and “Beat”; Max Martins, “Ver-o-Peso” and “The House”; Olga Savary, “Narcissus” and “Life: Duel of contrasts).
