Identity and literacy: an environmental study in Pocos de Caldas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil

The aim of this work was to articulate a research project with teachers' initial education and the academic extension. It analyzed the processes of interaction between students from the first years of the elementary school with the development of activities directed by a tutor, a Pedagogy undergraduate student, who suggested the study of the place. Field journals were produced in the form of observation narratives, describing activities (reading, writing, drawing, and collage) that referred to the students' living spaces. We noted the study's potential contribution in the context of literacy.
