Narrative with the Saci Pererê myth: from theoretical aspects to a proposal of didactic transposition

Abstract

The present article integrates the studies of the research Project in Applied Linguistics "Writing and grammar teaching: a new look at an old problem", of ethnographic nature. It focuses on Portuguese teachers' education by means of diagnosis and intervention through theoretical-practical reflection, aiming at the improvement of the mother tongue teaching-learning process, mainly concerning linguistic analysis. Discussions have considered the discursive genre as a teaching object - articulation axis and curricular progression - and the text, as a unit of meaning and teaching - integration element of reading practices, linguistic analysis and textual production. The aim in this paper is to analyze a narrative with the "Saci Pererê" myth, which belongs to the narrate order, starting from linguistic-enunciative marks in relation to the production conditions (support, speakers, purpose and circulation place), the theme and the compositional construction, in the process of possible effects of meaning. Besides, this work will present suggestions in a didactic sequence so as to contribute in a theoretical-practical way with the studies related to the mother tongue teaching-learning process.
