Visual poetry in the classroom

a report on the practice in the Pedagogical Residence program

Abstract

This work focused on the presentation of the activities developed in the scope of intervention for the Pedagogical Residence project, in the context of a third year high school class of a state school, which dealt with the theme of visual poetics in the axis of the modernist experience in Brazil. In this sense, there was a diachronic approach, from modernism – pointing out its phases and, specially, paying attention to the poetics interested in the development of visual components, such as those from João Cabral de Melo Neto, from Pernambuco – to the concrete poetry, a movement that will be responsible for proposing a possible horizon, wich is conventionally called visual poetry. Together with the literary discussions, we worked with the genre critical review, to enable students to develop a written production about the documentary Poetas de campos e espaços (1992), the final activity of the sequence. Given the pandemic scenario by which the world was challenged, the classes were organized in two axes: regular and online classes, as the experience took place in a hybrid model. In the first case, the meetings in the classroom were organized in the expository-dialogue model, while in the second, the aid of the youtube platform was used to broadcast recorded classes.
