"Literatura para quê?" Os desafios do ensino de literatura no ensino fundamental II e estratégias para seu ensino

Abstract

This research project aims to address challenges faced by teachers in teaching literature in Portuguese language classes for lower secondary education and to explore strategies to develop the "reader" aspect in students, promoting an understanding of the importance of literature in their academic formation. The project will propose an overview of classic poetic narratives, using adaptations of works like "The Odyssey" and "The Iliad" by Ruth Rocha to spark students' interest and comprehension. The adopted methodology will be qualitative, considering theoretical studies by experts in the field, such as Marisa Lajolo and Regina Zilberman. Additionally, normative documents guiding Portuguese language teaching, such as the BNCC and the São Paulo Curriculum, specifically the Language Arts Curriculum in Action for the final years, will be observed and analyzed. The specific objectives include observing and analyzing the proposed pedagogical approaches to literature teaching, analyzing strategies to promote students' interest in reading practices, exploring the relationship between literature and skill development, and examining the role of literature in understanding human diversity
