Sequência descritiva: da análise de livros didáticos de língua portuguesa do ensino médio a uma proposta para uma sequência didática produtiva

Abstract

This study proposes the critical review of the teaching approach of description in High School textbooks of Portuguese Language, recommended by the National Textbooks Program (PNLD-2012). The theoretical foundation that supports this study is the notion of textual sequences proposed by the linguist Jean-Michel Adam. The study is justified because it is known that the genres are the focus of the teaching through the text. According to the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN), it is of fundamental importance to study textual sequences that structure those genres and, in particular, the descriptiveone, because, besides being part of different genres, it plays a key role in the text, being an argumentative strategy and an essential element in the construction of the meaning of the text. Therefore, this study aims to contribute to a field little investigated, the teaching of description in High School textbooks, presenting proposals of exercises on the teaching of the descriptive sequence to the textbooks analysed in the corpus and also proposing activities to compose a High School textbook, thus advancing in the reflection of a pedagogical practice that would help the students in the development of a greater competence in reading and writing
