The origin
of "United for Reading"
blog project was in 2010, coordinated by Professor Alessandra Silva. In that
period (year), for various personal and professional reasons the blog was not implemented,
even though the students had already formulated specific texts to start it. In
2011 the same professor started her doctorate and in 2012 received full
clearance to do so, not returning to the institution until the beginning of
2015. Thus, the project was shelved for years.
In 2015, for
having as aim the implementation of the project, the teacher included the blog
as part of the Teaching Plan from the English Language I subject, therefore,
all the teachers and students involved would be aware of the work to be held and
finally implementing the project as part of the discipline. The year 2015 has
been so atypical because of the strike periods in/from Basic Education and
Higher Education in the state of Parana.
Thus, although the project coordinator (struggle to keep meeting with) have met
with the students from the beginning of the school year, the number of breaks
postponed the date the blog would air officially.
The goal of
the blog is particularly to provide the Letters course students, starting by
students from the English language I, a learning tool for English language,
through activities available on the blog, plus it contemplates the theoretical
training of these students (inviting them to discuss) through scientific texts.
Every material available brings activities that students need to develop at
least once a week.
In 2015
(This year), the project consists of several participants, among them are worth
highlighting: the professor Alessandra Augusta Pereira da Silva, project
coordinator and responsible for the discipline throughout 2015..The other professors
Soraia Teixeira Sonsin and Mariana Furio, who both share responsibilities in
the subject and in the project. . Wellington (full name), student from the
Economics course, was also a major contributor in the system deployment, and all
the students from English Language I subject who made teams to perform tasks
for the development and maintenance of the blog. Thanks, greatly, to all
participants and contributors of this project, in addition to internet users
who will be able to post comments and participate in the project indirectly by
reading the texts that constitute it.
