In this activity, the contents of Biochemistry with Literature were integrated in a perspective of collaborative learning. Groups of 3 students created a story (story or chronicle) on one of the subjects of the discipline and presented the text as a post in the intranet system; In banner for the academic community; Oral presentation of the story and a written material containing all texts produced. The application of this methodology was intended to allow the experience of a reflective and collaborative learning process, corroborating with Biochemistry learning and the development of important skills and abilities: reflection, critical sense, organization and ability to work in groups. The self-evaluation carried out with the 69 groups indicated that the activity allowed for a better understanding of the theme, the need for reflection from the beginning and that the group work allowed the discussion and exchange of knowledge about the subject.
