Reading and Producing Texts

The study ＂Reading and Writing: the textual genres in circulation among students in Technical Education integrated to High School＂ analyzed the proposals for teaching reading and writing of textual genres worked on by teachers of different subjects at the IFRS - Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul, Bento Gonçalves campus. The proposal was based on a preliminary observation by the researcher, a Portuguese Language and Brazilian Literature teacher at the institution, who noticed the common use of some textual genres in specific technical subjects in the areas of IT and farming, as well as in subjects in the high school curriculum. The genres identified and selected for interdisciplinary work were the review, the report and the script for a video lesson teaching the use of the CSS command table, designed to teach the construction of websites. The research prioritized reflection on the teaching methodology and the students’ written production, while also questioning whether the genres in question suited the students’ needs, both in school and in their personal and professional lives.
