Microcuentos para mejorar la escritura narrativa en estudiantes de décimo año de educación general básica

Abstract

The main interest of this research project is to understand how the production of micro-stories improves or not the narrative writing in tenth-year students of Basic General Education. This objective is based on searching for new didactic alternatives that contribute to overcoming the problems that tenth year students have been presenting in diagnostic evaluations in the last three years: textual organization, spelling, cohesion and coherence.

In this sense, the decision was made to carry out a study with the students of the tenth year parallel morning section "A", of the School of Basic Education "Estados Unidos de Norte América" of the 2019-2020 school period, who were observed during the implementation of a didactic sequence of micro-story writing of six sessions of forty minutes. Once the initial works were evaluated with the final ones, the students were subjected to an interview that allowed them to know their perception.

The micro-story was the genre that was selected for the application of the didactic sequence, taking into account that it is widely received both in the literary and educational fields, according to Leira (2013), the micro-story has advantages such as: the perfect adaptation to the Children's mentality, since it is a concise genre that adjusts to the communicative daily life of the current era, likewise favors the evolutionary development of language because the first linguistic interactions of children are initially established with short and precise sentences.
