Pibid 2018-2020 provided students in the early periods of undergraduate teaching courses to
start a connection with public schools. Our Pibid on Undergraduate Language Teaching course
at the Federal University of Tocantins, in Porto Nacional promoted the contact of
undergraduates with the ruling documents of Brazil’s basic national education, mainly in the
languages area, more specifically in Portuguese and English [LDBN (BRAZIL, 2017), PCNs
(BRAZIL, 1998), BNCC (BRAZIL, 2017)]. They also studied and worked with discursive
genres applying didactic sequences (DOLZ; NOVERRAZ; SCHNEUWLY, 2004) in a
multiliteracies approach as prescribed by BNCC (BRAZIL, 2017). Working on multimodal
reading and writing practices along with digital technologies is essential in shaping critical
citizens prepared to continually learn and deal with transformations in learning and in their
relationship with the world. Our project has sought to develop DSs in cycles of four two-and-
a-half-hour workshops in three elementary schools in the municipality. Groups of three to five
undergraduates performed collaborative and transdisciplinary work assisting up to ten students
in the appropriation of reading and writing various genres: musical and visual parodies, memes,
cartoons, lyrics, social critical poems, news blogs, graphic and digital comics, as well as
canonical discursive genres, such as literary memories and chronicles. We have noticed some
resistance from a few of the program participants, both from supervisors, who were experienced
teachers, as well as from Pibidians, who were students at the beginning of college, in using
digital reading and writing production resources implanted in Pibid. On the other hand, the more
multimodal and critical the activities were the higher the receptivity in schools our students
met. The whole group involved could observe the social impact of their teaching and learning
work as well as their improvement as teachers to be, despite their individual difficulties or the
lack of resources at schools (fans, air conditioning, snacks, computers, wifi connection and
other materials)
