Diálogos com Alice no mundo dos letramentos : uma experiência de leitura / escritas com pré adolescentes em uma casa de acolhimento na cidade de Bagé / RS

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze letters written by pre-adolescents to the characters in the book Alice in Wonderland (1865), written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The data for the qualitative research took place during the second half of 2022 and the first half of 2023, in a foster home for children and adolescents (0-18 years old) in Bagé/RS. For the reading work, consisting of three attendees aged 9, 12 and 13, four moments were selected for the development of the project: Visit 1 (Questions; presentation of the interlocutor and the work used); Visit two: (Reading of chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and writing the first letter); Visit 3 (Response to the letters; Recap of visit two; Reading of chapters: 6, 7 and 8 and writing of letter 2); Visit 4 (Recap of chapters; Reading of chapters: 9, 10, 11 and 12; Final drawing and delivery of the books). In order to analyze the data, we used Bakhtin's (2000) reflections on discursive genres, Geraldi's (2004) conceptions of language and Bakhtin's (2000) views on signs, ideology and dialogism. These references guided the analysis of the data generated. The results showed that the participants are still in the process of learning to write and, although they did not know the compositional construction of the letter genre, they knew how to listen to the interlocutor and related their stories when answering her.
