Módulo 5

Professor Rafael introduces the fifth module on reading and writing strategies, discussing historical representations of these practices. He highlights the evolution of reading and writing, noting that during the Middle Ages, many could write but not read, which restricted information access. He mentions the societal control over literacy, especially concerning women, and how this has changed over time. In the late 20th century, there was a strong push for reading and writing as essential for social participation, but also a critique of the unrealistic expectations placed on teachers and students regarding literacy. The discussion emphasizes the need to consider social inequalities in access to information and education when addressing reading and writing practices. The PCNs and BNCC documents are referenced, advocating for reading and writing as social practices and promoting critical reading and student autonomy. The importance of understanding students' backgrounds and needs is stressed, as well as the various strategies for teaching reading and writing in the classroom. The session concludes with a call to reflect on the objectives and methods used in literacy education.
