Literary reading: possible benefits in Reading Circles at school
Reading Circle; Reader Training; Literary Literacy; Didactic Sequence; Reading Reception.
This research aims to investigate the reception of João Guimarães Rosa’s Campo Geral by students from Integrated High School at IFNMG/Campus Arinos, during hybrid literary meetings (in-person and online). We initially developed bibliographical research on literary literacy, reading circles and literary reading reception, considering the pedagogical proposals of Freire (2015), Cosson (2009), Cosson (2014), Cosson (2021) Dolz, Noverraz, Schneuwly (2011), Petit (2008), Lage (2003) and Marcuschi (2008). In addition to these theoretical studies, we also considered other works that related to our analysis and the research’s results, such as Cruz (2017), Schneiders (2018), Mendes (2002), Ribeiro (2021), Rocha (2020) and Dantas (1975). Subsequently, we carried out action research, also supported by the means of experimental research, involving the development of a reading circle with students from the Integrated High School at IFNMG/Campus Arinos. As data collection we used the observations made at the literary meetings and a questionnaire answered by the students participating in the research, which, we hope, can contribute to the improvement of teaching practices focused on literary literacy, not only in the institution where this project was carried out, but also in all schools that offer secondary education.
