Interseções entre literatura infanto-juvenil e geografia: abordagens pedagógicas a partir do livro “Além da chuva”

Abstract

This paper examines the intersection between literature and geography in an educational context, highlighting the use of literary narratives as teaching tools for developing geographic concepts in high schools. It discusses how literature can mediate and understanding themes such as land use, urban landscape dynamics, and sustainability through the analysis of the book Beyond the Rain (Além da Chuva) by Michel Gorski. The study emphasizes the importance of selecting literary works that resonate with students' lived spaces promoting meaningful and contextualized learning. Additionally, this paper presents pedagogical strategies that encourage critical thinking and creativity, both essential for forming readers and citizens aware of the social and environmental dynamics of the spaces where they live.
