Contextualization

Hello, kids! Today, we will embark on an incredible journey to understand more about the 'Reader's Formation: Reports of Observations and Research'. But why is this important? Well, understanding what it means to be a reader and how we become readers is like unraveling the secrets of a superpower! Reading is a powerful tool that helps us understand the world, express our ideas and emotions, and connect with other people. It is like a key that opens infinite doors to imagination, knowledge, and personal growth.

Introduction

Now, let's think together: how do we become readers? Is it something someone teaches us, like riding a bike? Or is it something we learn on our own? In fact, the formation of the reader is a very complex process that involves several factors.

First, there is the issue of access to books. To become readers, we need to have books around us, whether at home, at school, or in the library. Furthermore, it is important that these books are suitable for our age and interests.

Second, we have the importance of example. When we see other people reading and enjoying reading, it inspires us to do the same.

And lastly, we have practice. The more we read, the better we become at reading. It is like a muscle that needs to be exercised regularly.

The Importance of the Project

Now, you must be wondering: 'Why are we learning all this?'. Well, understanding how we become readers is essential so that we can become better and more conscious readers. Furthermore, reading plays a very important role in all areas of knowledge. It helps us learn about history, science, mathematics, and even about ourselves.

This project, which is a challenge for you, will allow us to deepen our knowledge about the formation of the reader and, at the same time, become more skilled and conscious readers. You will have the opportunity to explore different types of reading, from fiction and non-fiction books to comics, magazines, and even websites on the internet. Additionally, by working in groups, you will be able to share ideas, learn from each other, and, of course, have a lot of fun! So, are you ready for the challenge? Let's go!

Practical Activity: 'The Reader's Journey'

Project Objective

This project aims to allow students, in groups, to observe and research their own reading practices and reader formation, creating a reflective and creative report. The activity will develop skills such as reading, writing, research, teamwork, and critical reflection.

Project Description

Groups should document their reading practices, from choosing the book, how they read, to the reflections they have during and after reading. They will develop a 'Reading Diary', where they will record their experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

Necessary Materials

1. Notebook or sheets of paper for the 'Reading Diary'.
2. Pencil, pen, eraser.
3. Books, magazines, comics, websites, etc. for reading.
4. Internet access for research (if available).

Project Step by Step

Step 1: Choosing the Book

Each group should choose a book to read during the project. It can be a history book, fairy tales, a comic book, a science book, etc. The important thing is that it is a book that interests everyone in the group.

Step 2: Reading the Book

After choosing the book, the group should start reading. Each group member should read the book, even if at different paces.

Step 3: Documenting the Reading

While reading, students should record the following information in the 'Reading Diary':

• Book title and author.
• Why did they choose this book?
• How do they feel during reading? Happy, sad, surprised?
• What are they learning from the reading?
• Did any part of the book catch their attention? Why?
• Are there characters they identify with? What characteristics do they have?
• If the reading is difficult, what are they doing to understand better?

Step 4: Group Discussion

After reading, the group should gather to discuss the book.

• What did they like most about the book? Why?
• Is there anything in the book they did not like? Why?
• What did they learn from the reading?
• Did the book change in any way the way they see the world?

Step 5: Creating the Report

Based on the discussions and the records in the 'Reading Diary', the group should create a report, freely, about the reading experience. The report can be a text, a comic, a slide presentation, a video, a play, etc. Use your creativity!

Step 6: Presenting the Report

Finally, each group should present their report to the class. During the presentation, the group can share the reflections they made during the project and what they learned about the reader's formation.

Remember, the most important thing is not the grade you will receive, but what you will learn and the fun you will have during this journey. Happy reading and have a great trip on 'The Reader's Journey'!
