Livro Paradidático: uma porta aberta para o ensino de Geografia

Abstract

This paperwork intends to present the drafting and creation of the supplementary book O Castigo Veio a Cavalo, an educational material that allows Geography teachers to work on matters such as place and scenery throughout a local point of view. Therefore, the main assumption is that both reading and writing are fundamental to the teachinglearning process. It is also imperative that we take in consideration the student’s life experiences. It is worth highlighting that supplementary books are rarely used tools by Geography lecturers. Although they are aware of such existence and its capabilities in the scholar context, they are yet not certain of how to insert them inside classroom walls. Hence, because of the difficulties shown by both lecturers and students of the 6th grade Elementary School, this book. In this work, the main character Beli tells her adventure along with her friends, Léo and Tajuba, across the Seridó Potiguar region. In their journey, the readers are going to learn about the socio-economic and cultural aspects of the area. This will make easier for the teachers to work on Geography’s most important subjects and concepts with their 6th grade students. In the elaboration, it was also took in consideration what students consider the most appealing aspects of a book. The storyline presents a methodological proposal for teaching, but it’s necessary to highlight that such a proposal is not mandatory. The best strategy in apprenticeship is the one who leads the students towards learning, and the teacher, who knows his students better, is the one who should choose it. Finally, we hope that this book plays a role on the teaching-learning process and stimulate the lectures to use it as a didactic tool.
