Narrativas amazônicas: estratégias de leitura para a formação do leitor literário no ensino fundamental, anos finais

Abstract

This research work aimed to present Literature teaching strategies based on narratives with Amazonian themes. The activities involved students in the final years of Elementary School, at the Professor Antenor Sarmento Pessoa State School, in the city of Manaus - Amazonas. The aim of the study was to investigate the imaginary of the Brazilian Amazon manifested in the states of Amazonas and Pará, in narrative fiction. In this sense, narratives from the work “Belém de Arrepiar” (2021), by Nathan de Moura, were used as a reading/writing experience strategy with 9th grade students in order to stimulate interest in narratives with regional content; preserve cultural identity and memory; develop skills in the artistic-literary field of telling and retelling stories, based on the guidelines of the National Common Curricular Base-BNCC/Elementary Education, Final Years – EF69LP53 (2008), and investigations into literary education. The theoretical foundation research is in preliminary approaches, as well as the application of the teaching project (conversation circles in order to identify students' prior knowledge about the short story subgenre; verification of activities developed by different Portuguese language teachers, in the literary field ). To this end, five short stories written by writer Nathan de Moura were chosen, namely: “Mundiado por Curupira”; “The legend of Tabatajá”; “Surra de Matinta”; “The girl who became a statue”; “The legend of the Big Snake”. These texts served as study and motivation for an educational product, in this case a podcast about narratives, which was created by the students and finalized in a literary exhibition in the school environment.
