The actions of this project took place in a public school in a first-year high school class in 2024 and focused on the poetic work “baroque.doc” and the narrative work “Contos Periféricos”. A six-hour teaching sequence culminated in the author's visit to the school and a round of questions from the students. The interview was preceded by analyses of the selected texts and a presentation of the author's biography. The expected result is a way of rescuing the culture of Alagoas and Maceió and a greater appreciation of literature in Portuguese language classes. The authors who are references for this research range from Cosson, Boal, Freire, Rojo, to Antunes, among others.ptLetras – PortuguêsLetramento literárioLiteratura alagoanaAri Denisson – Escritor alagoanoBaroque.doc – Obra literáriaContos periféricos – Obra literáriaTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS
