Strictly one ought to ask, should we teach more statistics in the senior high school; for already we teach some. All pupils know what an average is, are accustomed to drawing graphs in lessons on rainfall, on imports and exports, on social conditions, and the like. The chief reason why I shall urge that the teaching of statistics should be more conscious and should be more complete is, that an understanding of their interpretation is more and more needed in everyday life, in newspaper reading, in comprehending the appeals of this or that political party. And as a subsidiary reason I might add that statistical ideas form links binding together many other subjects as far apart as biology and physics, insurance, and engineering; and I attach great importance to anything which helps to integrate into one unity the intellectual life of the high school, and to prevent it from becoming so many water-tight compartments.

The use of plastic is widely known in everyday life, with a variety of advantages (light but strong, transparent, waterproof, low price). But besides having advantages, conventional plastics also have disadvantages, namely that they are difficult to decompose and pollute the environment when they burn. The need to reduce the use of conventional plastics and replace them with the use of bioplastics in the community is still often socialized, one of which is to students at SMA Nasional Malang. The aim of training and socializing environmentally friendly bioplastics is so that students can reduce the use of conventional plastics and switch to using environmentally friendly products, as well as being able to make bioplastic products. The result of the bioplastic making training is that students are able to make eating and drinking utensils made from bioplastics with various models they like. Through socialization, students began to change their lifestyle by reducing the use of conventional plastics and switching to using environmentally friendly products. To better understand the dangers of conventional plastics to the environment, students compared the biodegradability of conventional plastics and bioplastics. The result is that bioplastics break down faster than conventional plastics. Knowledge of bioplastics and their raw materials is new to them. From the questionnaire, it was found that Malang National Senior High School students were very interested in the training provided, some wanted to make various bioplastic product creations independently and hoped that there would be other training to help students develop their knowledge and creativity.

Este texto propõe analisar as possibilidades teórico-metodológicas de alguns livros didáticos de língua portuguesa do ensino médio atuais, no sentido de desvelar, nas propostas de leituras de diferentes textos verbais e visuais, a presença dos sujeitos e a existência ou não de diálogo entre diferentes linguagens. Algumas reflexões podem tomar como ponto de partida as seguintes questões: há, nos livros analisados, uma clara direção para o desenvolvimento da leitura de textos literários e visuais, ou as propostas apenas espelham as características de uma fragmentação pós-moderna que atualiza, na forma e nas estratégias metodológicas, o pensamento de um sujeito deslocado e múltiplo, consumidor de textos? Esses manuais se limitam a um extenso uso de textos e imagens do cotidiano dos alunos ou propõem a ampliação do universo sociohistórico que se espera de um jovem estudante? <br> <br> <B>Palavras-chave</B>: imagem; novos letramentos; leitura; livro didático. <br> <br> <br> <B>Abstract</B>: The aim of this paper is to analyse the theoretical-methodological possibilities that some Senior High School didactic books of Portuguese possess as to revealing, in the proposal of reading different verbal and visual texts, the presence of the subjects and the existence, or non-existence, of a dialogue between the different languages. Some reflections take the following issues as a starting point: in the analysed books can we find a clear direction into the development of reading literary and visual texts, or do the proposals reflect only the features of a post modern fragmentation that presents, both in the form and in the methodological strategies, the thought of a displaced and multiple subject, a text consumer? These manuals are stuck to an extensive use of texts and images from the students´ everyday life or do they propose the enlargement of the social-historical universe expected from a young student? <br> <br> <B>Key words</B>: new literacy, reading, didactic book.
