Roxane Rojo´s Mini-course

Hi, everyone. I´m here to tell you about my experience at Roxane Rojo´s mini-course. The topics were very interesting and they made me remind our projects. To start with, Roxane made a literature review about genre historical background. I remembered Regina Celi´s classes during the whole course.Sencond, she stareted dicussing about what genre is and is not and some theory of genre. For my surprise, she told us she is against Marchuschi idea of LD(Livro didatico)as a support and she affirmed it is a genre.After, she talked about about concepts and ideas involving multiliteracy, semiotic literacy, language and social practice.
Then, she approched the topic: "teaching styles".And at the last day, we made some practical activities involving the use of LD and analise some of these books.For me, it will be an unforgettable mini-course. I wish you all were there. Ah, if you want to see some of her on-going projects, you may access the following site: www.pucsp.br
By the way, Carla, thanks for the suggesting me to take Regina´s classes during the semester 2007.1.Aafter this course, I could realise how important her discipline was. And also, it helped me a lot in many ways, especially giving me more ideas for my projects.
