The current research investigates the argumentation process and its meaning effects in texts produced by students of the 9th-grade class in a public school located in Arapiraca city, state of Alagoas. First and foremost, we´ll discuss some of the main guideline documents concerning the Basic Education for the Portuguese Language: Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BRASIL, 2017), Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (BRASIL, 1998), and didactical and theoretical manuals regarding argumentation and text production in schools, mostly the multimodal texts and those of the podcast genre, relating all of them with the concepts of digital texts and “escritoralidade”, a portuguese term meaning the mix of writing and orality in genres like the podcats. We’ll be dialoguing with Koch (2011), Koch; Elias (2020); Gallo (2015), Piris (2021), and other authors. Then, we will discuss the meaning effects caused by the students’ arguments about the cancel culture. We’re basing our research on the assumptions of Discourse Analysis, through the works od Orlandi (1998, 2017, 2020a, 2020b) and Dias (2018). Therefore, the main objective of the research is to investigate the argumentation through the podcast’s text production and oral texts analysis, in 9th-grade classes. To reach this goal, we will approach modern social themes inherent to students’ daily experiences and analyze how the meanings are built and rebuilt in podcast texts. The methodology chosen for this work is the research-action, applied to the 9th-grade class. Thus, this work, still in development, discusses the qualitative results obtained through the development of the didactic sequence utilized to support this research.
