THE TESTIMONY GENRE: A PROPOSAL FOR INTERVENTION FOR ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
Teaching Portuguese Language. Written production. Testimony genre.
Our general objective is to present an interventional proposal for the teaching of written production of the testimony genre, which allows a significant learning of linguistic aspects and the expression of points of view on social issues suggested and analyzed in the context of the classroom of a 7th grade class year of elementary school, final years, of a state school in the city of Salvador-BA, providing opportunities for attitudes that favor citizen education. As specific objectives, we established: a) to build a didactic sequence as a systematizing element of pedagogical practice for teaching written textual production; b) develop the written production of texts of the testimonial genre, based on the reading and analysis of themes on which students will express their opinions, discussing with respect and collaborative attitudes; c) Propose writing and rewriting activities of the testimonial genre in which students can build texts consistent with the standard language proposal; and d) propose, as a final production, the presentation of the testimonies written on the group's Wall in the virtual environment Google Sala de Aula. In order to achieve the objectives of the intervention proposal, we based ourselves on a methodological perspective that took action research as inspiration (Thiolent, 1986); Tripp (2005) because we understand the relevance of the joint participation of teachers and students in the construction of knowledge in the daily life of the classroom and a qualitative approach based on studies by (Bodgan; Biklen, 1994) in which we seek subsidies to analyze the proposed pedagogical actions to carry out the didactic sequence in terms of meaningful learning. The theoretical foundation is based on Bakhtin (1997; 2003), Perelman; Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005), Marcuschi (1998, 2008), Geraldi (1996, 2004 and 2005), Antunes (2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010), Riolfi (2008, 2014), Schneuwly; Dolz (2004), Silva (2016), among others. In addition to the guidelines provided by official documents contained in the National Curriculum Parameters (1998) and in the Common National Curriculum Base (2017). As a result of the intervention, we envision that students can reflect on social issues, developing points of view and arguments and that they learn to produce texts and build meanings, recording them in the form of a testimony genre.
