In this article, we present our planning for two classes in a row for the Creating Writing course at CAp/UFRJ’s first and second High School years. Considering that in the course’s Playing with conversation module both groups had been studying dramatic plays and Grice’s (1975) conversational implicatures, our proposal, for these classes, was to use the Theater of the Absurd for (a) exploring how we can create meaning from an alleged chaos, and (b) expanding on the discussion on how the breaking or maintenance of conversational implicatures can contribute to meaning making.Therefore, we selected some excerpts from Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot(1954). We highlight, however, that we present here only our projection for these classes, not their results.
