Abstract

Jorel's Journey: The Cat Reader of Piauí Literary Expression (PLE) is an Educational Product developed within the Professional Master's Degree Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), presented in the form of a Guide to Piauí Literary Expression (GOLEP). The material was designed to promote knowledge of Piauí Literary Expression and to support students preparing for the entrance examination of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí (IFPI), as well as to serve as a resource for teachers and other readers interested in the literary culture of the state of Piauí. Organized into four chapters, the guide provides information about the IFPI entrance examination, presents the historical, cultural, and legal aspects related to Piauí Literary Expression, introduces representative works of the state's literary production, and proposes reading pathways aimed at broadening readers' literary repertoire. Through the character Jorel, the Cat Reader, the Educational Product adopts an accessible and dialogic approach, encouraging literary reading, fostering appreciation of Piauí's cultural heritage, and strengthening regional identity in accordance with the principles of Integral Human Formation and Professional and Technological Education (PTE). GOLEP constitutes a teaching resource intended to support teaching, research, and the dissemination of Piauí Literary Expression and may be used in both formal and non-formal educational settings.
