Produção de textos escritos no ensino fundamental: o ensino-aprendizagem do artigo de opinião

Abstract

This research is about the teacher's pedagogic action in the teaching of the production of written texts in the 9th grade elementary school. In this sense, it sought to discuss and analyze the development of argumentative writing with students from public schools. Although the PCN recommend working with a variety of genres since the late 1990s and the school and the textbooks have inserted various genres in the school the student's daily life, not always genres are worked effectively. This research captures the social and communicative functionality of the opinion article by proposing to carry out a systematic work of teaching and learning of writing in the classroom. Given this perspective, we prepared a didactic sequence, based on Dolz theory, Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004), which proposes a set of activities planned around a genre. The pedagogical action was based on Action Research, because we aim to transform the teaching practice and writing of students. To focus on the language skills needed to write the opinion article, we observed the textual production of students in two periods: the first one through skills to be used during the intervention; the second one, in which we examine the appropriation of genre after the application of didactic sequence. The results revealed that after research, the students began to consider the action skills, with the progress in the use of argumentative type and argumentative justification operations, refutation and negotiation. In addition, the results also indicated a greater concern of students with regard to linguistic and discursive skills, such as using modalizers and argumentative operators. Thus, the study reaffirmed the impact of the application of the didactic sequence in the writing of students.
