discussion and mobilization of previous knowledge. From the presentation and/o discussion, the students
are stimulated to participate actively in the construction of knowledge based on the reading and
discussion of texts of different types, use of diversified materials, practical exercises, favouring work in
pairs or small groups to be shared in the classroom.
