This book deals with working with discursive genres as an instrument for developing reading and writing skills. Based on her experience as a Pedagogical Coordinator, the author observed the low performance of students in reading and writing, and the lack of support materials for teachers. The research resulted in this book, which seeks to contribute to didactic work with reading and written production of adventure narratives. In it you will find a characterisation of the adventure narrative discursive genre and proposals for didactic sequences of reading and written production of this genre that take into account the skills required for its successful execution. It presents a selection of eight adventure narratives suitable for the classroom because they represent the genre well and deal with interesting stories; a characterisation of this genre in its socio-communicative, linguistic and textual organisation dimensions (in its rhetorical movements), so that the elements of the genre that deserve the teacher's attention are well established; and teaching sequences for reading and writing that are viable for the classroom.
