THE CHILDREN IN THE WIRES OF POETRY: AN APPROACH TO THE LITERARY TEXT IN FUNDAMENTAL EDUCATION II
Teaching Literature, Poem, Representation of Childhood, Elementary School II.
In this research we reflect on the approach of the literary text in the classroom, especially the poetry that has been marked by several misunderstandings and anchored in the scripted readings of the textbooks, has silenced the senses of the text, not promoting an effective encounter of the reader with the literary work. Aiming at a resignifcation of this practice, our intervention project applied in the Eighth Grade of Elementary School Two, at the Maria Fernandes Saraiva Municipal School, located in the municipality from Parnamirim, RN State, established a dialogue between poems of Zila Mamede, Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Manuel Bandeira, having as a conductor the representation of childhood. The motivating element for the study of poems was a set of letters from Drummond to Zila Mamede; and from Camara Cascudo to Mario de Andrade. These literary correspondences are directly and indirectly related to the theme of the poems. The final product was the creation of a poetic anthology with carton cover, as a suggestion of didactic material, since it contributes to the teacher´ s autonomy in selecting the literary texts to work with his students. In order to base the reflection on the teaching literature and poetry. The theoretical-methodological contribution relied primarily on the studies of Rildo Cosson (2007), Helder Pinheiro (2002;2009; 2014), Edgar Morin (2005), Antoine Champagnon (2009), Todorov (2009), Antonio Candido (1995), Araujo (2014), Cereja (2005), Nóbrega (2012). The analysis of the poems was based mainly on the studies of Gaston Bachelard (1996), Sigmund Freud (2014), Ruben Alves (2004), Andre Pinheiro (2012), Câmara Cascudo (2003) and Alexandre Alves (2013). The experience with poems and letters in the classroom, based on a dialogic approach, contributed to successful results, enabling students to try an aesthetical experience through the encounter between text and reader.
