Resumen:
Much has been problematized about the challenges of teaching Portuguese, especially those aspects related to the written production of students, because the written form of the language is extremely important for life in society. The theoretical contributions in this research are centered on the following authors Antunes (2010), Koch (2002), Koch and Elias (2012) and Marcuschi (2004), (2007), (2008), (2010) and (2011) with a foundation in textual linguistics. In order to problematize the transformations caused by the technological evolution, with a focus on the development of the Internet, we rely on researchers interested in the digital language, are in the theoretical role Araújo and Biasi Rodrigues (2005), Araújo (2016), Caiado (2004), Galli (2010), Leffa (2012), (2016), Levy (1993), (1999) and Xavier (2011), since writing produced in digital spaces has its own characteristics
with which most students are in contact and daily use. Through this reality, this
research aimed to compare the linguistic marks in texts produced in the classroom of the ninth grade of elementary school with those identified in their digital writing, specifically in WhatsApp conversations, observing possible transposition of marks
and strategies used in the production of messages in this application for school text production. In order to carry out the research, the written production of the students
of a ninth grade class and the messages of WhatsApp, their preference in the Internet, was chosen as corpus and a group was created, an interaction and motivation of the students was established. students, which qualified our research as netnographic research. Thus, it was proposed to write opinion texts on the same subject in the two forms of writing, school text (formal writing) and digital writing (WhatsApp message) and proceeded to the analysis according to the propositions of Koch and Elias (2012) and Antunes (2010), mainly observing orality marks, relations
established in texts and messages, obedience to orthographic conventions, use of other graphic notations. The results confirmed what was already the theoretical reference: first: the mother tongue is totally sure about its structure; secondly, that young people develop strategies such as brevity and informality of such order that, without a qualified teaching, this practice may distract students more and more from
writing conventions, and finally that WhatsApp messages are meaningful materials and the proper use of them may contribute to the improvement of formal writing. These results stimulated the conception of a didactic proposal that emerges as the fruit of our reflections and becomes a contribution to the use of digital messages as a pedagogical resource to be used in the teaching of writing and is organized in a pedagogical booklet containing suggestions of activities and the step -to-step of a didactic sequence.
