Faced with the new paradigms that impose on Education today, when some
times our students are not in tune with the pedagogical proposals, we as educators
have to respond with a right curriculum to the educational demands from various
perspectives. In the search for a better understanding of what is possible to do to
respond to these demands, this study was realized from the analysis and discussion
of the implementation of a project of Portuguese language and Literature teaching
practicum in a public school in the year of 2017, with a with a class of the first grade
of high school. The objective of the study was to check if the study with reading in
Portuguese language through a project can favor the literacy in mother tongue, the
main purpose of the study with language at school, as well as other skills to operate
effectively as citizens of this century. This research is qualitative, documentary and
ethnographic, and is based on the analysis of data of observation and
implementation of the project. The analysis of data allowed us to observe that, during
the project, the tasks fulfilled were promoters of the competences of the 21st century,
recognized by students in their evaluations, such as group work and communication,
besides literacy, concretized in the production of texts for a Literary Fair promoted by
the school.
