writing. Genre of speech. Text plan. Narrative sequence. Personal report.
This research is based on the studies of Textual Linguistics, specifically on the Textual Analysis of Discourses. We chose as the object of study in this work, the text plan of a genre, based on the considerations of Adam (2011), regarding the establishment of textuality in the written productions of the students of the 7th year "A", of a public school. By means of planned actions guided by a didactic sequence, based on Dolz, Noverraz and Shneuwly (2004), this proposal had the objective of minimizing problems in the writing of the mentioned students. Thus, the study of the text plan search to favor the organization of the genre and the construction of the text, directed to the desired communicative purpose. From the theoretical point of view, we adopt the socially constituted view of language; the notion of text as a place of representation of cognitive, linguistic and social communication, considering what some authors propose in the textual perspective, among them Koch (2011). In the discussions on the notions of gender, with a view to applications to teaching, we seek the theoretical basis of Bakhtin (2003), Marcuschi (2005/2008), Bezerra (2017) and Adam (2011). Concerning to the text plan, we were based on Adam (2011) and look for the considerations of scholars who deal with this author to address the issue, including Cavalcante (2012) and Silva (2012). Also, we discuss the narrative sequence, according to Adam (2011), because it is predominant in the personal account. From the methodological point of view, we used the qualitative approach, according to Denzin and Lincoln (2006) and Gerhardt and Silveira (2009); we opted for action research, because we interfere in a social reality, in our case, the school, in order to confront the existing problems. Through the planned work, we guided step by step that students to produce texts, based on a plan, according to a specific genre, aimed at potential readers and with a communicative intention.
