Literatura de cordel: recurso didático no ensino de História para compreensão das relações étnico-raciais de acordo com a Lei Nº 11.645/2008.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of cordel literature as a didactic resource to treat ethnic-racial relations in the teaching of History in accordance with Law 11.645 / 2008. Currently, one of the challenges of classroom teachers is to attract the attention and participation of students in history classes, either because they are not in the habit of reading or because they find it difficult to interpret / understand the texts of the textbook or supplementary texts. Another important issue is the instigation of putting into practice the knowledge acquired in the university, stimulating research and not merely the transmission of knowledge. However, teachers should adopt several educational practices, which should also consider the proposals expressed in the curricula of the discipline. Thus, cordel literature fits into the curriculum debate and educational practices. The sources used are pamphlets of the economist and poet Medeiros Braga and the twister Manoel Monteiro da Silva. In this way, the intention is to enable students to contact a source of a nature different from that found in textbooks, which enables the student to practice reading, since the leaflets bring a simple and easy to understand language. The use of the string allows a greater participation of the students in the classes, using the method of collective reading, and the stimulus to the research, analyzing the speeches of the poets in front of the events, and the encouragement of the production of cords by the students, habituating beyond the practice of reading, also writing and rewriting. Therefore, the cordel literature can configure an alternative language for the teaching of History in the debate of ethnic-racial relations.
