JORNAL DO CONHECIMENTO: JORNALISTIC GENRES AND MOTHER LANGUAGE TEACHING

Abstract

In this paper, we present an experience report about the planning and implementation of textual production workshops, in the sphere of journalistic genres, developed within the Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), of the Course of Letters/Portuguese at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI), Campus Senador Helvídio Nunes de Barros, in Picos - PI. The activities were carried out through workshops with students of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of high school, which promoted the production and creation of the Jornal do Conhecimento from the Centro Estadual de Tempo Integral (CETI) Marcos Parente. We therefore aim at: a) report our experience during the period of activity and development of the school newspaper; b) address the work with textual genres at school; and c) reflect on the contributions of these activities to the students' teaching-learning process. For the materialization of this proposal, a bibliographical research was initially made, based on the theoretical foundations of Bakhtin (2003), Marcuschi (2005), Traquina (2005), Lage (2001, 2005), among others. Then, workshops on journalistic genres were held. We evidenced that the practice of activities focused on these genres motivated the development of the reading and writing of the students, so that these actions worked as an instrument of interaction of the students in their school experience.
