Construção do esquema narrativo por meio da retextualização

Abstract

This final paper, whose title is “Construction of a narrative outline through rewriting”, gathers two documents: 1. Academic Memorial and 2. Inquiry about the use of rewriting as a resource to the construction of a narrative outline by middle school students. The memorial brings a personal narrative with a reflection of the research teacher about his path in Education as well as his inquiries, which led him to keep searching for professional development. These are presented in the description of the moments which were crucial for him in choosing a career as a teacher, as well as his experiences in the classroom and in the course “Residência Docente”. The inquiry presents the epistemological bases of the investigation, its methodology, the data collected and their analysis. In order to develop this project, we used a sociointeractive approach (Bronckart, 1999), which focuses on the interaction among the individuals, implemented in historical, social and cultural contexts. This theoretical approach has a great influence on how we conceive the terms human language / speech and, consequently, on how we conduct our language teaching practices, since it proposes a discursive approach of language, in which the role played by the “other” gains an explanatory and constitutive dimension. We also assume the assumptions of (Matêncio, 2003) about rewriting, to whom there is a cognitive activity of comprehension prior to any textual transformation activity, and we use this resource as a trigger to the construction of narrative outlines by the students. The data analysis show favorable clues to the use of rewriting as an appropriate didactic resource to text production, which allows students to grasp how the whole narrative outline can be constructed.
