The corpus of analysis are two public Portuguese textbooks used in schools: Novas Palavras, by Emília Amaral (2003), from Editora FTD and Se liga nas linguagens by Wilton Ormundo and Cristiane Siniscalchi (2020) from Editora Moderna. A reflection will be made on how the National Textbook Program (PNLD) works. The study is bibliographical research, of an exploratory nature, focused on explaining what the Baroque movement in Brazil is and how it was and its influences on religion, culture and the life of society, showing striking characteristics and its main authors, in addition to describing and analyze the material proposed in the selected textbooks and how these literature activities are important for student learning.
