Nas cordas do cordel amarramos nossa história: alunos da EMEF João Belo Alves/Picuí-PB registram tópicos da história da sua comunidade em folhetos de cordel

Abstract

The present project seeks to research topics from the history of the school community and record them in the form of cordel booklets, thereby fostering a greater appreciation for History classes among students at the João Belo Alves Municipal Elementary School, located in the Serra dos Brandões District in Picuí/PB. In this way, we aim to spark their interest in the local history of their community and in the broader context, making the teaching-learning process more engaging and meaningful. Given our previous successful experiences, we understand that this approach could help students realize that they are historical subjects/actors and also part of a larger perspective. This dissertation aims to analyze and problematize productions on the researched theme and the possible paths for implementation in our History classes. The historiographical sources we will use are mainly collective memory and interviews conducted by the teacher and students, thus enabling students to develop critical-reflective thinking and engage with the scientific method particular to Historical Science. As a product, we developed a proposal for a Didactic Sequence using cordel literature.
