The work with the writing has been increasingly difficult in our schools. Most of our students come from disadvantaged families and live in environments with little or no incentive to reading, as the writing. This reason becomes classroom work difficult, because the discouragement is very present, reason by what both find difficulties in acquisition of written language, as well as in reading practice. Given this, we understand that it is in school that we can provide the means for these students can to heal these difficulties. Our work had like target public the students of the 9th grade elementary school, from the city of Tenente Laurentino Cruz / RN. Our main objective was to investigate the evolution of student’s writing from the textual genre chronicle in their written productions through the application of didactic sequence (SD). We justify the choice of this genre for its characteristics in to report, to describe, to present facts of daily life, which enable the immersion of students in reading practices and (re) creation of their own textual productions. We realized that this research had its relevance in the sense of being able to contribute to the teaching of Portuguese Language and to improve the experience, as a teacher who is dedicated to improving reading and writing in the classroom. Although our object of study is writing, we should not develop this without that, since no text is produced without first reading about the genre studied. To develop this work, through the application of didactic sequence that we take as reference the studies of Dolz and Schneuwly (2004). With regard to methodology, we opted for an action research, with the studies of Dionne, (2007); Thiollent (1988) and, based on qualitative research, Moreira (2006). For the analysis of the texts of the students we follow the studies of Marcuschi (2008); Bakhtin (1986). In this whole process, we found that the choice of the "chronicle" textual genre to perform this work was a facilitator, since it is a genre with characteristics of the student’s reality, on what "everything can turn chronicle", they always listened this phrase of the teacher. Besides presenting everyday themes, the language is simple, it is a short text and easy to produce, where to write left of be a challenge and became a reality. Thus, during the final production process, we saw that, differently the initial production, the students presented greater mastery and facility to writing, because from various everyday situations, characteristics presented in the productions of the "chronicle" textual genre, they elaborated the texts with more property, developing themes of their own experiences. This resulted in a collection of texts, in the chronicle genre, that we call "Notebook of chronicles: narrating the daily life."
