Livro didático: uma análise das atividades de leitura e escrita nos gêneros conto psicológico e anúncio publicitário

Abstract

The main goal of this study was to analyze issues reading and writing issues related to the genres known as psychological tale and advertisement approached in the textbook “Ser Protagonista” (Being a Protagonist) aimed at the third year of High School. Based on Mikhail Bakhtin’s perspective on text genres, an investigation was carried out on whether the questions posed in the sample present the basic and indispensable dimensions to a text genre: theme content, style, and compositional structure. The choice of the genres is justified for the fact that the former is a short narrative that can be frequently seen in the school environment and encourages the student to engage with the reading activities more easily. The latter, on the other hand, is part of any individual’s daily life, whether it is on TV, mobile phones, laptops, or billboards. Hence, it is interesting that the student gets to know the characteristics of these genres, which are commonly accessed. As a result of this analysis, it was noticed that the reading and writing activities considered, found in both genres section, comprise the three dimensions considered essential by the Russian theorist. That means that the sample in question does not prioritize one aspect of the genre over the other, which facilitates the student’s understanding about the meanings a text produces, what linguistic aspects are related to the studied genres, as well as their structures.
