Carta pessoal: do diálogo ao monólogo como meio de expressão, reflexão, enfrentamento dos medos e humanização

Abstract

Working with textual genres is a well seen practice inside the classroom, considering the possibilities of paths that can be trodden. The personal letter genre was chosen to develop a writing workshop that ended in this paper. The novelty, though, was the innovative and “deconstructed” approach that wa sgiven to the practice. The project aimed to break the dialogical characteristics of this genre, transforming it in a monologue and lead the students to express, reflect, and confront their fears, so go toward the humanization. The productions and the interpretation of the commands to write letters to their heroes, villains and to the “I” from the future were the trigger of the workshop that obtained results beyond from the expected and that can be proved on the analysis of three chosen letters.
