A construção do texto na infância: Da primeira versão à reescrita, movimentos recursivos e estratégias de coesão

Abstract

This study aims to report the interventions carried out in the written productions of a nine-year-old child enrolled in the fourth year of a municipal school in Juiz de Fora, focusing on the processes of text production. Over the course of five sessions, the strategies employed by the child during writing were analyzed, with an emphasis on the recursive movements of textual rewriting, as proposed by Menegassi (2001). The research also addressed the presence of referentiation and sequential progression in the texts, according to the discussion proposed by Koch and Elias (2018). The methodology was based on a qualitative approach, guided by Carlo Ginzburg’s (1986) evidential paradigm, which highlights the importance of details. Aspects such as planning, writing, revision, and rewriting were considered, in line with the guidelines of Fiad and Mayrink-Sabison (1997). The didactic activities involved the production of a letter and a fictional short story, inspired by the Harry Potter saga, allowing for a detailed study of the particularities of the writing process. The analysis revealed how individualized guidance provides a deeper understanding of the stages and challenges faced by a beginner writer, contributing to reflections on more effective pedagogical practices.
