O LETRAMENTO POR MEIO DE MEMES: ESTRATÉGIAS PARA O ENSINO DA LEITURA NO 5º ANO DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

Abstract

The concept of reading has been expanded in the face of digital technologies, as the strategies and effects produced by online reading have contributed to the emergence of new textual genres. This work sought to analyze the reading strategies and their effects to understand the textual genre Meme. As a theoretical contribution, we resorted to the theory of genres, from the point of view of Bakhtin (2011) and Marcuschi (2009); for aspects related to digital literacy, we turned to Roxane Rojo (2019). We developed a DS to work on reading in the Portuguese language classroom of the fifth year of Elementary School, with the aim of analyzing the Memes reading strategies, and also the effects produced by them. Reading in a digital environment raises several questions related to language, emerging genres and reading strategies related to them, as well as the connection between language, digital technology and social action. Therefore, proposing a comprehensive reading of the Meme genre is a way of understanding the influence that the digital environment has on students in reading emerging genres. The context of significant social changes involves education, leading it to adapt to current needs, mainly so that there is the realization of literacy, which consists of a practice of reading and writing according to the needs of communicative situations. It is concluded that the teaching of reading requires new strategies, which require the practice of new reading skills of different genres.
