As narrativas míticas no contexto escolar: análise da produção textual de uma turma de aprendentes do sétimo ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola municipal de Manaus.

Abstract

This research has as its objective to analyze the contribution of regional mythic in the process of written textual production, from a group of seven grade learners of a public school in Manaus. Its other intention is to identify in the produced texts in this process expressive traces of Amazonian culture assimilated by oral tradition. The research ran three comparative analyses of written productions verifying the progressive evolvement as to the written narrative of The Manioc Legend; of versions collected from oral counts and told to the group by the learners themselves up to the one by Jose Coutinho Oliveira, presented as a possible model. The analyses of sequences found in the texts revealed the efficacy of mythic narratives as a method resource to orient the production of written texts in school setting. This was firstly noticed through creativity expression presented by the learners by adding new elements to the narrative sequences of the legend, as well as, the utilized resources in characterizing the layers; as a last element, it was the use of a language of which one could verify the projection of its socio-cultural reality.
