Fios cecilianos no ensino de poesia.

Abstract

The possibilities of work involving poetry in the classroom are huge, so the poem cannot be restricted to models or stigmatized practices in the school environment. In this sense, the objective of this discussion was to contribute to the reading and human formation of students, as well as to studies on the teaching of poetry. In this article, we center part of the children's production of Cecília Meireles (1901-1964), with some considerations of her poetics and with the account of the reception of some of her poems. The practices of approaching Cecilia's poetry in the school environment will be presented from the analysis of the reading of four poems from Ou isto ou aquilo (1964), written by the same author and illustrated by Odilon Moraes in the edition we had access to (2012), and they were carried out with a fifth grade class from a public school in the interior of São Paulo-SP. Some authors were essential to support our considerations, such as Averbuck (1993), Trevizan (2002), Alves (2018), Jauss (1994), Solé (1998) and Girotto and Souza (2010) – with emphasis on the latter authors in what it concerns the adopted teaching methodology, centralizing some reading strategies. The results point to the possibility of educating readers through an aesthetic perspective, considering their contexts and their expectations regarding a poetic work.
