Abstract
The aim of this work is to analyze the learning process of a deaf student from activities carried out in a writing workshop in Portuguese offered by a non-deaf teacher. Questions: 1) How does a deaf student manage, in his texts, contextualization factors, the elements that embed the text in a certain communicative situation? and 2) to what measure is the teacher´s intervention necessary to make the student understand the use of titles in texts? Comparisons of 29 complete texts were made, emphasizing the construction of titles. The main transformations were: 1) attention to spelling; 2) paragraph use; 3) title refinement; 4) calculation of the possible interpretation of the readers; 5) use of connectors; 6) verb conjugation and 7) syntax. Regarding the writing of titles, the pedagogic activity was seen to be fundamental to the deaf student’s achievement of this competency.
