This dissertation presents a proposal for reading and writing to be developed in a class of the ninth 

year of Elementary School at the Nossa Senhora de Fátima State School, in the municipality of Araputanga-MT,

 as part of the work carried out in the Graduate Program, Professional Master's Degree in Letters – PROFLETRAS,

 from the UNEMAT/Cáceres/MT Unit. Anchored in the theoretical-methodological perspective of Pecheuxtian

 Discourse Analysis, we seek to build a reading file about public leisure spaces in the city of Araputanga, with the

 objective of offering conditions for students to assume authorship gestures for the production of an Atlas

 about these public leisure spaces. In this sense, the work production conditions were approached, presenting,

 initially, a study on the city of Araputanga, discussing the process of its foundation up to the present day.

 Subsequently, the theoretical path was shown, which enabled the necessary shifts and ruptures to assume the

 position-teacher that mediates knowledge, as well as to work language and language in the classroom, 

developing a discursive proposal with reading and writing with view to authorship. In this sense,

 the reading archive was made up of different discursive materialities such as historiographical texts about

 the city, legal texts about leisure, maps, videos, photographs, polls, dictionary entries, interviews, among

 others. From these materialities, it was possible to show how the work of reading and writing takes place

 from the discursive point of view to get to know the city. Thus, the proposal sought to work the

 language/language making sense in practice, that is, in their real situations of use, understanding 

that subjects are questioned by ideology and production conditions. The sense of leisure has expanded

 with each reading, as there is a range of possibilities to mean it. Several language practices were used, 

mobilizing the theory adopted and addressing issues related to reading, interpretation and authorship.

 It can be said that, with the reading and writing practices proposed here, students will constitute a

 discursive memory about leisure, in order to assume themselves as authors in the production of an Atlas 

of Public Leisure Spaces in Araputanga. Thus, this proposal offers conditions to enable the constitution 

of authorship at school and (re)signify the teaching and learning of the language/language in 

Portuguese language classes.
