A referenciação em retextualização de “Vidas Secas”, por alunos de uma escola pública de Alagoas

Abstract

This material presents the result of a research done in a public school from the RedeEstadual de Alagoas, along with students from the 8th and 9th grades of the Educação de Jovens e Adultos/ EJA (Education for young and adults), and it has as objective to analyze the referencing and the effects of these uses on the text in retextualization of three chapters from Graciliano Ramos‘ work VidasSecas: Mudança, Fuga and Cadeia. Therefore, a didactic sequence was developed with many textual production activities, specifically the retextualizations, for the constitution of the corpus, which analysis is based on authors studies, among others: Koch (2005); Antunes (2005, 2010); Marchuschi (2008); Koch & Elias (2014); Magalhães (2016); Apothéloz (2016); Apothéloz&Chanet (2016); Conte (2016); Francis (2016) and Mondada& Dubois (2016). There were collected 24 texts, of which six were taken to the analysis of the referencing ways. The results reaffirmed the importance of the reflection about referencing in the reading and text writing process by the students, a matter that has to be discussed more frequently in the Portuguese classes planning. Besides, we confirmed, by the work developed in the classroom, a strong advance in the written productions made by EJA students.
