According to Rojo (2009), literacy involves social practices of reading and writing that are historically and culturally situated. Thus, it is understood as a set of practices that enables individuals to effectively participate in society by interpreting and producing texts in various social contexts. Additionally, the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) defines multiliteracies as the practices of reading and producing texts that are constructed through different languages or semioses.

Due to the alarming rise in hate speech on the internet over the last years, a teacher wants to promote an opportunity for students to reflect on hate speech incorporating the concepts of literacy and multiliteracies. What is the appropriate activity to accomplish that?

B

Dividing the class in two large groups and have students hold a debate in favor and against vaccines. Students can use AI to help write their arguments for the debate.


C

Having students work in teams to do research on cases of misogyny in their hometown and prepare posts for different social media with the objective of raising awareness to the issue.


D

Carrying on a survey in class to find out students’ opinions about freedom of speech on social media and ask them to prepare an infographic with the results from the survey.
