“Eu tenho história” – trabalhando História e memória em sala de aula através da pesquisa pessoal e familiar

Abstract

This text is the result of work carried out in a private school in the city of Belém with a 6th year class, in which students were encouraged to learn about their personal and family history and from this produce a small book with the history of their family, they also made a Fair-style presentation where they exposed their learning to the school community. This dissertation aims to provide a teaching method to work on important concepts in the discipline of History, mainly History and memory. Still on the methodological field, the student is placed in contact with the analysis of primary and secondary sources in the classroom, such as written, oral, imagery and materials. Furthermore, the activities carried out in class also aim to bring the student closer to the subject of History, enabling them to take a greater role in the teaching-learning process, being both the researcher and the object of research at the same time. To better direct the teacher, a guiding plan was created in a didactic sequence, which is the product of this work. The intention of this proposal is not to exhaust the subject in question, but to point out possibilities on the topic for the 6th Year of Elementary School, when studies generally begin with the History subject. The ideas presented can be adapted to other series.
