Key Features:

✅ Combines the interview text genre and basic syntax analysis in a single progressive learning sequence.

✅ Significantly reduces the abstraction of syntax analysis by directly connecting grammatical concepts to a meaningful text.

✅ Supports students who require curricular adaptations in Portuguese Language Arts.

✅ Suitable for regular classrooms, Specialized Educational Support (AEE), or individual instruction.
