O conto de Lygia Bojunga “O bife e a pipoca” como instrumento de leitura

Abstract

It is known that contact with texts that reflect daily life and the reality in which we live can contribute to the student’s learning process. The reader tends to feel more attracted by works with which he identifies in some way. In this way, the work with Children's and Teenage Literature aims to promote the relationship between the text read and the students, since this literature has children and youngsters as its target audience, resorting to protagonists in this age group and the conflicts faced by them. The present work aims to understand how the short story “O bife e a pipoca” can be used in the classroom to help overcome the dilemma that persists in schools even though debates about it are common, and little reading among students. In the course of the research, with a quali-quantitative approach, a reading project was applied with of ninth-grade students at Escola Municipal Professor José Gonçalves dos Santos. As a theoretical contribution, scholars in the area such as Abramovich (1997), Antunes (2009), Cademartori (2012), Freire (2003), Lajolo (2001), Silva (2005) and Souza (2006), among others, were used. We chose to work with the short story genre, starting with a reading circle in the classroom, developing interaction and relaxation among students. The work indicates that when students are interested in the text read and when they have more freedom during reading, it flows more easily. A short story, such as this one that was worked on during the present work has more chances of attracting a student that doesn’t have the habit of reading, as it talks about friendship, a current and interesting theme to the research public
