Literatura de massa e clássicos na sala de aula: a formação do jovem leitor no ensino médio.

Abstract

Mass literature has increasingly gained space on young people's shelves, either because this readership identifies with the characters, or because of the easy access to books and derivatives through the internet. While acting as a mediator of reading Literature in the classroom, the teacher finds in this Literature a bias to give continuity to the reading formation of his students, especially in High School, a time in which students/readers build critical sense and deepen their literary studies, arouse curiosity, or retake the reading habit in their students. In order to cover the literary repertoire of their students, the teacher needs to count on the partnership of the family and the school, which assumes the role of encouraging young people and providing the necessary support for their reading formation, throug solid pedagogical initiatives so that students remain as readers in and out of school. Based on these demands, we will investigate the role of the teacher in the process of formating readers, starting from the use of mass literature as a kick-off in the classroom, which can lead to the reading of universal classics, in order to study the contribution of literature of mass in this formation, and to propose a basic didactic sequence, from the model of Cosson (2009), so that the teacher of Portuguese Language encourages the habit of reading in young High School students. Our work is bibliographic, qualitative and purposeful in nature and we are based on authors such as Zilberman (2012), Bordini and Aguiar (1988), Sodré (1985), Cosson (2009), among others. We aim to awaken in the school and in the teachers the desire to approach Literature in all its spheres so that they form proficient readers, in addition to stimulating Literature's reading for enjoyment. In this way, it is of fundamental importance that the reading formation is the subject of research and debates more frequently by scholars and researchers, that projects are developed that reinforce the relevance of the habit of reading Literature in the routine of Portuguese Language students, to only then, understand the role that reading plays in the reader's life, the ability to form critical readers, who consistently attribute meaning to the readings they do.
