Synopsis

Considered a biome that is still little explored in the production of teaching materials, the Caatinga presents a high potential for its contextualization associated with the educational knowledge of Basic Education, especially with regard to the teaching of physical-natural themes. Thinking about an approach with a local focus, the work “Bioma Caatinga: a look at the territorial section of Patos/PB” is the result of the completion of the Professional Master's Course in Geography (GEOPROF) by the first author, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. North (UFRN). The perspective is that this material works as an incentive to teach the topic in different curricular components, and can be used as a complement to the content present in the textbook, or as another teaching resource available in the municipality. The material produced is based on the need to contribute to the construction of knowledge regarding the Caatinga biome, in the general context, and specifically in the territorial area of Patos/PB, as well as stimulating the production of other teaching materials with local and regional themes that facilitate teaching and learning.
