Retextualization activities for the learning and acquisition of literacy: a proposal of intervention for the Elementary Education from the work Pollyana, of Eleanor Porter
orality and literacy continuum; retextualization; Pollyana
The present project intends to elaborate an intervention proposal for the learning and the acquisition of literacy (see Koch / Oesterreicher 1990) in Elementary Education from Eleanor Porter's Pollyana, and to analyze junction patterns (see Raible 1992), that is to say, the expression of semantic relations in the data generated during such intervention, in order to prove the impact of the actions performed in the learning and acquisition of writing by the student-informants. The corpus of the research will consist of the texts produced by the student-informants along these actions. Orality, understood as the approach to the I-here-now, and the scripturality, understood as the instauration of a non-I, a non-here and a not-now in discourse (Koch / Oesterreicher 1990; Castilho da Costa 2017) constitute, from the point of view of the Discursive Traditions Model (TD), a continuum of texts and genres that carry different linguistic varieties. By means of activities of re-contextualization (Marcuschi 2005), that is, the displacement of texts in this continuum, the aim is to provide students with contact with linguistic varieties, as well as with traditionalities (cf. Kabatek 2006) and forms of organization of the texts of scripturality. In the first phase of the project, aimed at intervention, a guide will be developed to read and produce texts with retextualization activities to be performed during and after the collective reading of the literary work on canvas. Such activities will culminate in the production of a supplementary chapter by the student-informants. In a second moment, the resources of joining in the textual productions before and after the intervention project will be analyzed, based on the semi-automatic annotation in the program Tradisc, in order to evaluate the degree of impact of this intervention. In this evaluation, it is predicted a displacement of the textual productions of the students towards the scripturality, as evidence of learning and acquisition of TD and linguistic varieties conveyed by the work Pollyana. The aim is to contribute to the teaching of Portuguese from a theoretical-methodological approach that takes into account issues related to textual and linguistic variation and to the creativity of the speakers.
