POLICE ROMANCE AND THE CLASSROOM READING DIARY:
Literary literary built from the dive in the world of Sherlock Holmes
literacy - police novel - motivational practices - reading diary
The work related to the promotion of literary reading is always relevant, given the frequent difficulties of its effectiveness in the classroom in the contemporaneity of Brazilian public schools. At the local level, this data is confirmed, verified by previous research, carried out in a group of 8th year, when detecting an excessive linkage of these students to the technological means, preordaining them to the practice of reading. Thus, this work proposes to carry out a pedagogical action in order to promote literary literacy in this series. For this, the novel was chosen as the starting point for reading the mystery novel, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of Baskerville, and for being its protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, although created more than a hundred years ago, present in the current context, being updated, re-read and (re) adapted to other supports, such as cinema, games and TV series, and, thus, close to the students' experiential universe. Intermediated this reading by motivating practices and the writing of reading diaries in class and classroom. It is worth mentioning that this study traverses the paths of the methodology of action research, since it returns to the community in order to soften its problems, conceiving all as co-participants in the process of building transformations and co-responsible for the advances within a community . For this, the actions are used of the expanded didactic sequences of Cosson (2009) and its theoretical-methodological conceptions, and of the reading diaries produced by the students as foment of conclusive data of possible successes. In general, the work is theoretically anchored in Sodré's (1985) and Eco (1970), Reimão's (1983) and Todorov's (1969) approaches to the discussion of mass literature in social life, to the crime novel as a genre narrative; of Cosson (2009; 2014) when dealing with literary literacy; of Bogdan & Biklen (1994) and Thiollent (1996) concerning research and action research; of Machado (1998) regarding reading journals and Rouxel et al. (2013) about the subjectivity of the reader. The results obtained are based on a greater involvement of the students with the literary reading, strengthening this literacy, perceiving itself as part of the communicative relationship with the work and with the author, since they put themselves in the participant position, either in filling the voids of the text, or the possibility of placing themselves before the text critically, as shown in the reading journals. Just as it was possible to transform reading cultures by opting spaces for reading within the school, either in the transformation of physical spaces to this, such as the reading room, and others, or even in the spaces within the class time, that is, in the lessons are not suggested but readings are made and shared, expanding to various areas of knowledge and reaching other classes at school.
