BUIN, Edilaine  and  MENEGUINI, Bianca Estefani. Comic strips in teaching situations and reaching for the reader. LTP [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.66, pp.75-92. ISSN 2317-0972.  https://doi.org/10.5965/0102-387Xv34n662016092.

This article is the result of the analysis of the proposals related to the reading of comic strips in a 6th grade public school in Amambai-MS. Analyzing 73 strips worked throughout the year, we have found quantitatively that: (i) most of the activities deal with strips as genres, focusing on relevant aspects of reading; (ii) the minority is used as a pretext for the grammar teaching. Although this represents a positive situation, it still neglects the issue of reading in various activities. We have observed that, whenever the teaching mate­rials are used, a greater amount of time is dedicated to the activities which are closer to the grammatical tradition, although they represent a minority. This type of teaching seems to function as clichés, which are, in turn, empty of meaningful learning. Making the student a reader is facing the possibility of losing oneself to escape from what is commonplace - a risk that many drift away from, despite two decades of innovative guidance in official documents.
