Mínimas palavras, máxima expressão: o miniconto como prática de leitura e escrita

Abstract

This work presents a proposal for pedagogical intervention for the teaching of Portuguese Language through a didactic sequence that articulates, in the form of workshops, several activities of reading, discussion, research, writing production and reflection on writing, around the emerging microfiction genre in order to develop discursive competence, understood as the ability to comprehend and produce oral or written texts according to gender and the different situations of interaction and circulation, of students from the 9th grade of Primary School with difficulties in the practices of reading and writing. For this, the proposal is based on the studies of Antunes (2003, 2009, 2010), Marcuschi (2008), Koch and Elias (2014 and 2015), Kleiman (2008), Manguel 1998), with regard to the conception of language and language, as well as reading and writing. Since it is a proposal of literary reading, the text is also based on the contributions of Yunes (2012), Cosson (2014), Jouve (2012), Soares (2001), Todorov (2009) and Candido (2011). As for the specificities of the genre under study, the intervention is based on the conceptions of Moses (1970), Silva (2003), Gotlib (1985), Spalding (2007 and 2008), Píglia (2004) among others. The didactic sequence is an adaptation of what is proposed by Dolz, Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004) and Costa-Hübes (2009). The teaching of mother tongue with a focus on the microfiction genre is defended in this work, due to the fact that it allows the reader to exercise the reflection about himself, the other and the world, mobilizing his life experiences and his imagination, to understand this very brief form of composition that much more suggests than it narrates. It is a genre that really favors language teaching in interaction and contributes to the formation of critical thinking.
