Inês de castro e o cordel dramatúrgico Almas Livres: uma proposta de leitura na sala de aula pela aplicação do método LerAtos.

Abstract

This paper aims to propose a creative reading of the myth of Inês de Castro in the classroom, using the dramaturgical cordel Almas Livres (Almeida, 2022) and the application of the LerAtos Method (Barros; Andrade, 2017). The research seeks to encourage students' creativity and engagement through the practice of creative reading and writing, promoting a deeper understanding of the myth of Inês de Castro. The methodology involved a bibliographic review of the study’s components – the Inesian myth, the dramaturgical cordel, and the LerAtos method – followed by the proposition of a didactic sequence to be carried out in conjunction with pedagogical workshops. These workshops encompass the four stages of the LerAtos Method: (1) Dreaming, (2) Fruition, (3) Creation, and (4) Giving, in which students explore the story of Inês de Castro interactively, creatively, and collaboratively. The application of the method, tailored to the current proposal, indicates improvements in students’ critical thinking and artistic expression, enabling an interdisciplinary approach to literature. In the final considerations, it is concluded that the LerAtos Method contributes to active and creative learning, where students experience the process of "authorship-reading," being challenged to achieve the goals of reading-action missions within a territory that is ripe for innovation and in need of efforts for potential changes, as seen in the school environment. The research provides a valuable contribution by presenting innovative teaching and learning opportunities focused on the LerAtos Method in schools of the cariri region in Paraíba, as well as future research possibilities related to these experiences.
