This Training Memorial is presented for the qualification examination under the Professional Master's Program in Literature — PROFLETRAS —, Federal University of Bahia. The project of intervention, entitled “Causos”: a proposal for literacy in elementary school, is characterized as a research of a qualitative and ethnographic nature, from the perspective of ideological literacy, according to Freire (1967, 1991, 2011 [1982], 2017 [1968]), Hooks (2017 [2013]), Kleiman (1995, 2005), Rojo (1995, 2009, 2012), Street (2014 [1995]) and Tfouni (2010 [1995]). As the “causos” are traditionally the collective imaginary, the project to be implemented, in this academic year of 2019, in a class of the 9th Year of Elementary School, of the Municipal School Solange Coelho, of the network of Lauro de Freitas, Bahia, is configured as an attempt to preserve the memories of the community of the school environment, in view of the formation of students as critical-reflexive readers, able to recognize, to know and to resignify oral narratives, in agreement with to Zumthor's theoretical principles (1997 [1983]) and the literary literacy, according Cosson (2016 [2006], 2018 [2014]), Dalvi, (2013) and Dalvi, Rezende and Jover-Faleiros (2013), promoting in this sense both the teaching-learning process
and the interlocution between the different generations and the valorization of their cultural heritage, their own identity and the identity of the place where they live. Therefore, considering as methodological guides (i) the literacy projects, according to Oliveira (2008) and Santos (2008), (ii) oral history, according to Santhiago and Magalhães (2015), and (iii) the didactic sequence, according to Dolz, Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004), the objective is to promote students as readers of their socio-cultural context, through literacy practices, including activities with orality, reading, writing, use of new technologies, with audiovisual records and editions of oral narratives, retextualization work — based on the discussions about transcription/retextualization promoted by Albán (1992, 2004), Alcoforado (2008 [1998]), ALiB Project National Committee (2005), Costa (2016c, 2017), Marcuschi (2010 [2001]) and Santos (2003) —, and the subsequent publicity of documented “causos” in book and/or e-book, as well as CD and/or DVD.
