Contextualization

Verbal and Nominal Regency is a fundamental theme in the study of the Portuguese Language. In verbal regency, we deal with the dependency relationship established between the verb and the terms related to it, its complements. Some verbs require a preposition to connect to their complement (indirect transitive verbs), others do not (direct transitive verbs), and some require two complements, one direct and one indirect (direct and indirect transitive verbs).

Nominal regency, in turn, refers to the relationship between a noun (substantive, adjective, or adverb) and the terms that are linked to it through a preposition. Knowledge about nominal regency is extremely important because it helps in the understanding and production of clearer and grammatically correct texts.

In the Portuguese Language, the correct use of regency ensures harmony in the linking of words, respecting coherence and cohesion, which are important aspects for the understanding and interpretation of discourses.

Verbal and nominal regency follows specific rules and, even for native speakers, it can be a challenge to use it correctly. However, practicing and studying these rules will certainly enhance your writing skills and reading comprehension in Portuguese.

In today's society, written communication is a crucial skill, and verbal and nominal regency plays an important role in creating clear, cohesive, and effective texts. In school, at work, and in everyday life, the ability to express thoughts and ideas effectively is valuable.

Mastering verbal and nominal regency is essential not only for academic success but also for the ability to communicate effectively and persuasively in any situation. Whether we are writing an email to a teacher, drafting a report for work, or creating a post on a social network, regency rules can help us convey our ideas clearly and accurately.

For this project, I suggest that you consult the following online resources, which provide clear explanations and useful examples on verbal and nominal regency:

• Portal da Língua Portuguesa: Verbal Regency
• Só Português: Nominal Regency
• Brasil Escola: Exercises on Nominal Regency

Please note that these resources are for consultation and deepening your understanding. You should rely on the bibliographic references from the textbook and the classes taught here in the classroom.

Practical Activity - "The Journey of Regency"

Activity Title: The Journey of Regency

Project Objective: Deepen students' knowledge of verbal and nominal regency through analysis, discussion, and application of the rules in everyday situations, developing a theater script.

Detailed Project Description:

Students divided into groups of 3 to 5 will write and perform a theater script involving the use of verbal and nominal regency rules. The script must be original and creative, using characters and plots that facilitate the application of regency rules. The setting will be a courtroom, where the characters will be judging the "crimes against regency".

Materials Needed: Pencil, paper, computer for research and script development.

Detailed Step-by-Step for Activity Execution:

1. Conduct in-depth research on verbal and nominal regency rules using didactic material and various online sources.

2. In groups, discuss the regency rules and create a list of examples that illustrate the correct application of these rules.

3. Based on the examples, start outlining the script of a theater where each character represents a regency rule or a usage example. The setting will be a courtroom, and the "crimes against regency" should be judged.

4. Write the theater script, ensuring that all verbal and nominal regency rules are addressed. Make sure the script text demonstrates the correct application of these rules.

5. Rehearse and prepare to present the play to the class.

Project Deliverables:

• Written script: should include dialogues, character descriptions, scene descriptions, and stage directions.
• Theater presentation: All group members must participate in the presentation.

Students should write a document containing four main topics:

1. Introduction: In this part, students should contextualize the theme of verbal and nominal regency, explaining its relevance in the real world and the objective of the project that was carried out.

2. Development: In this topic, the theory on nominal and verbal regency should be explained, in addition to detailing the activity carried out and the methodology used. Here, you should also present the produced script and discuss the application of the rules in the characters' lines.

3. Conclusions: Here, students should summarize the main points of the work, point out what they learned from the project, and provide key observations on the study of regency.

4. Bibliography: Indicate the research sources for the work, including books, websites, and consulted videos.

This activity emphasizes teamwork, effective communication, and time management. In addition, students will have the opportunity to practice and improve their writing skills while learning more about the rules of verbal and nominal regency and their practical application.
