A abordagem de conteúdos de ciências e biologia com a coleção revistas especiais da Turma da Mônica

Abstract

Comic books are easily understood entertainment literature, present in people's daily lives, which can function as an important teaching and learning tool, contributing to the process of building meanings. There are several possibilities found in comics that can be applied in the educational process in order to transmit knowledge, arouse interest and create the habit of systematic reading, raise awareness, foster critical attitudes and develop artistic aptitude and creativity. The main objective of this work is to present and suggest to Elementary School teachers, especially those in the 6th year, and even to parents a/ or guardians of students, reading and comprehension activities for comic books, with Science and Biology contents, for example copies of the Monica’s GangSpecial Magazines collection ­available for free on the internet. The stories of the collection chosen for the present work, 17 (seventeen) in all, address different scientific/ biological themes. It is hoped, with this, to encourage adults to promote the attentive and thorough reading of the comic books by the children, followed by questions that can assess the interpretation and learning of scientific themes.
