Entre letras e versos: o uso da MPB como incentivo para a apreciação do texto poético numa turma no 9º ano de uma escola pública

Abstract

This research work presents a didactic proposal whose objective is to develop the appreciation of the poetic text through the listening, reading and analysis of the lyrics of Songs from MPB (Braziliam Popular Music) in the classroom of 9th grade elementary school students of a state public school in Maceio/ AL. The interest in the research topic arose from the observation that the activities of reading and interpreting poems with students from that grade were the target of lack of interest in the classroom. This attitude may result from the little practice of significant literary reading on the part of students and consequently leading them to misunderstand the figurative and polysemic language of the literary text, thus making it difficult to understand and assign meanings to the text. The work is justified, therefore, by the possibility of providing opportunities and encouraging students to and enjoy literary reading and thus improve their reading skills. This is a qualitative research, more precisely an action research of an interventional nature, whose basic procedure was the realization of a Didactic Unit for listening to the songs, followed by the reading, analysis and appreciation of the texts of the lyrics, through a activities book, aimed at understanding, interpreting and analyzing the linguistic resources that give literary effects to the texts of song lyrics, using reading and text interpretation techniques. Questionnaires, logbooks, text comprehension tests, among other activities were also used. The theoretical foundation was based on the study of the textual genre of song lyrics, especially of song, its origins and evolution (Manzoni and Rosas, 2010). From the point of view of the Brazilian popular music songbook, subsidies were sought from some researchers in the area, such as Tinhorão (2017), Aguiar (1993) and Tatit (2016). The results were collected from the quantification and assessment of the students' responses in the Activity Book and the application of the satisfaction questionnaire produced and sent through Google forms, according to which most students showed involvement and satisfaction with the Didactic Unit developed.
