This research project presents a didactic proposal whose objective is to develop the appreciation of the poetic text through listening, reading and analyzing the lyrics of Songs da MPB in the classroom of 9th grade elementary school students of a state public school in Maceió/ AL. The interest in the research theme arose from the observation that the activities of reading and interpreting poems with students from that grade were the target of lack of interest in the classroom. This attitude may result from the little practice of meaningful reading by the students and consequently leading them to not understand the figurative and polysemic language characteristic of the literary text, thus making it difficult to understand and assign meanings to the text. The work is justified, therefore, by the possibility of providing opportunities to encourage students to appreciate and enjoy literary reading and thus improve their reading skills. This is a qualitative research, more precisely an action research of an interventional nature, whose basic procedure will be holding workshops for listening to the songs, followed by reading, analyzing and appreciating the lyrics, through discussions of the content and messages , using techniques for reading and interpreting texts. The basic material will be provided by a collection of MPB Song Lyrics, previously assembled by the researcher. Questionnaires, logbooks, diary diary, text comprehension tests, among other activities will also be used. The theoretical foundation will be based on the study of the textual genre of song lyrics, especially of song, its origins and evolution (Manzoni and Rosas, 2010). From the point of view of the Brazilian popular music songbook, subsidies will be sought from some researchers in the area, such as Tinhorão (2017), Aguiar (1993) and Tatit (2016). The data to be analyzed will be collected from the results of the questionnaires, tests and activities carried out, in addition to the logbook and diary logs.
