Teachers of a school of Jau (SP) had an idea to make the students were interested in reading and writing more and using the correct Portuguese. One difficulty that has become increasingly common because of technology. She decided to return to the past and encourage children to communicate by letters.
A habit that in the past was very common and today school children in Jau are living for the first time. Write and receive a letter. “It’s been really cool (write my first letter). It’s different and I feel like I’m making new friends in addition to the phone, the internet, computer, is a friend the old fashioned way, “says Marielly Hernandes, 11.
For Lucas Brito, who also has 11 years, the feeling is also new. “We think we will make a more beautiful work, we will make a beautiful letter, to let the person talk – ‘our this person writes well, that person is dedicated enough,’” says
The idea. making students leave a little virtual writing hand, came from a group of teachers after they realized that the children were writing very wrong. Bringing the language of conversation on the computer, mobile for school materials. the project won a very inviting name “. letters exchanged, shared stories
” our goal is that they create a taste for reading and writing and this has given us many results. We realized that children in the world today is very interested by technology, but when we present the cards to them, they were fascinated, the expected arrival of fellow letter and it wowed us too, so now they are waiting for the writing, waiting for the letter, hoping that fellow answer their letter, and that’s being very nice, “says the director Adriana Rossetto.
and the project surpassed the school walls. students from 13 city schools already match between them, exchanging ideas about life, based on the stories of the writer Monteiro Lobato. “we realized that they read very little and Monteiro Lobato was practically our precursor, he transformed our children’s literature. They can really speak of the character as if they were the character they describe how they were, “explains Professor Maria Cristina Faraco.
The kids loved the idea and every week has new little letter being written and coming too . “when I start to write the letter, I realize it is changing much when you’re on the computer, I like to write there is more cool, I’ll write great texts for people, will improve, in addition to it being a friend of mine, “adds Mark Galacini of 11 years.
Yasmim Raisa shared the experience with her mother.” she said that when she lived at the site she wrote a lot of letter because he had no such mobile stuff , computer. I think in time we will move on the phone, on the computer too, we remember that we wrote the letter and end up writing better, “says the student of 11 years.
Meeting
and after more than six months of messaging, the students finally met friends that only existed in the letters. An event in the city’s shopping gathered all the students and had related to attractions world described by Monteiro Lobato in the books. in addition to the children, all staff of the Yellow Woodpecker Site also attended the meeting.
And it was no accident. the children corresponded as if they were characters from the site of the stories of Monteiro Lobato. this time Mark gave little letter personally to his friend Lucas. Yasmim and Marielly also did it.
it was the opportunity to embrace the friend who now no longer the character of the Yellow Woodpecker Ranch and had seen the real life friend. Coincidence or not, no one took the phone to the meeting. “Now that I’ve learned to communicate by letters, I found it best to test and improve my writing too,” says Raisa Yasmim.
And the main change this whole project appeared on the tip of the pencil. “I’m writing more instead of being alone in the cell, abbreviating the words, I write in full and also that I will have a new friend to be able to talk,” Marielly says.
“We feel an enrichment of reading and writing them, they are reading and writing much better, “added the director.
