This research presents the proposal of a practice in teaching elementary school students the use of punctuation marks in witten productions, implemented in personal letters as a text genre. The general aim of this dissertation is to improve ninth-grade students' knowledge about the use of punctuation marks, so that they understand the importance of their role in textual production, not only relating to organizational structure, but also in the meaning construction for these texts. Simultaneously, this research shall provide material for a reflection on my teaching practice while a Portuguese Language and Text Production teacher. Its selected genre, the personal letter, aims to contribute to the development of language competence in relation to the use of punctuation marks, in addition to providing students with the knowledge of the genre. To achieve this goal, the activities, developed in sequential modules (Schneuwly and Dolz, 2004), were based on the use of action research (Tripp, 2005), from a qualitative approach centered on the interpretativist paradigm (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2008). The application of activities sought to develop a more reflective teaching and learning practice so students may build a more responsive look into the use of punctuation marks in writing. To this end, the research is based on studies undertaken by Text Linguistics in socio-interactive perspective (Antunes, 2003, 2005), (Santos, 2013) and (Marcuschi, 2008), presenting works aimed at the teaching of Text Production, which provide support for the development of the activities. The modules developed sought to present to students the way in which the use of punctuation is important to the organization and the construction of meaning in the text. As for the production of personal letters, it was carried out before (Diagnostic Evaluation and Initial Production - Letter A/Dialogue) and on completion of the modules (Final Production - Letter A/Dialogue and Initial and Final Production - Letter B). Over the course of the activities, it was found that the application of the content from the modules or didactic sequences aids in teaching and learning, because information is transmitted in a systematic manner and planning is done throughout the process. The results, after analysis of the materials produced, revealed that the students presented a positive development regarding the use of punctuation, and also, during the activities of the modules, showed understanding of how punctuation can influence the production of meaning in the text.
