RESUMO

In the research field of first language acquisition, several studies have discussed issues related to the approaching of genres in the classroom. One issue, however, has not completely been dealt with: the relation between genre and elements of the linguistic structure. Dolz and Schneuwly (2004) strongly claim that a didactic sequence does not have to embrace items of the linguistic structuring, within which punctuation is included. Such a knowledge, they argue, have to be constructed in different moments. In the sequences, only the specific features of the selected genre should be dealt with. This dissertation aims at advancing the reflection upon the possibility of an item of the linguistic structuring, such as punctuation, be part of the sequence that explores a certain genre, since punctuation is considered necessary for the constitution of the genre. In this way, this study presents the result of a proposal for the first language classroom that tried to include punctuation as an item to be studied in a didactic sequence for a humorous short story for children. This proposal was developed with 5th grade students of a public school in a city which belongs to Vale dos Sinos, in RS. These students presented, in most of their texts, `blocks of clauses` - clauses that were merely juxtaposed or linked by connectors (mainly `and`) or by commas (FRANCHI, 1990). Making use of theories concerned with the acquisition and development of written first language, and focusing on textual cohesion and punctuation, it was possible to build a theoretical approach that could give support to the didactic sequence. This sequence, based on the sociodiscursive interactionist presuppositions, tried to approach the text as a whole, without disconsidering its sociodiscursive aspects, and, so, reflect about the importance of punctuation for the production of the genre of humorous short story for children. The results show that the practice of writing through the selected genre was enriched with the approach of a topic related to the language domain, built simultaneously with the specific knowledge of the genre.
