Introduction to the Lesson on Coesão

Overview of the Class

• The instructor, Lana Raquel Rudes Vieira, introduces herself and the topic of the lesson: coesão referencial e sequencial (referential and sequential cohesion) in Portuguese language.

• The class is part of a teacher training program, specifically for third-year students at Colégio Estadual Polivalente.

Objectives of the Lesson

• The main goal is to prepare students for writing a high-scoring ENEM essay by focusing on two specific descriptors that had low success rates in previous assessments.

• These descriptors include identifying a thesis in argumentative texts and analyzing how relationships between parts of a text contribute to its continuity.

Analysis of Previous Performance

Student Performance Insights

• Data from last year's assessments show that only 43% of students correctly identified cohesion-related questions, indicating a need for improvement.

• A significant portion (37.5%) struggled with identifying the thesis in texts, highlighting areas where students require additional support.

Classroom Dynamics

• The instructor notes classroom behavior issues such as excessive talking and cellphone use during lessons, which may hinder learning outcomes.

• There are concerns about student attendance and engagement, suggesting a "senior syndrome" affecting motivation among third-year students.

Strategies for Improvement

Positive Reinforcement Techniques

• The concept of positive reinforcement is introduced as essential for encouraging good performance; rewards should be given for achievements in understanding coesão concepts.

• Active methodologies will be employed to engage students more effectively during lessons, including surprise activities and collaborative tasks.

Use of Visual Aids

• Emphasis on incorporating more visual materials into lessons based on student feedback indicating a preference for images over text-heavy content.

Importance of Cohesion in Writing

Connection to University Admissions

• Understanding coesão is crucial not just academically but also because it impacts university admission opportunities; 20% of spots are reserved for current high school seniors preparing through these assessments.

Evaluation Criteria

• Cohesion skills are directly linked to evaluation criteria used by universities like UFPG and ENEM; mastering these skills can significantly affect essay scores.

Engaging Activities

Group Work Dynamics

• Students are divided into pairs based on their academic performance levels to tackle different activities aimed at enhancing their understanding of coesão concepts through collaboration.

Activity Descriptions

• Two types of activities were presented: one descriptive requiring reading comprehension and another focused on identifying arguments within texts using color coding techniques.

• Activity one involved multiple-choice questions while activity two required painting key arguments from an ENEM model text about aging perspectives in Brazilian society.

• Students were encouraged to identify themes and theses within provided texts as part of their exercises.

Analyzing Textual Arguments

Identifying Themes

• During discussions about textual analysis, students were prompted to identify themes related to aging in Brazil from an ENEM model text.

• They discussed how the first paragraph typically presents both theme and thesis clearly as per high-scoring standards (nota 1000).

Argument Classification

• Students learned about different types of arguments used within essays, including historical references and authority citations as effective rhetorical strategies.

• Examples included referencing Brazil's colonial period as historical context or citing researchers like Rui Braga as authoritative sources.
