Pictures in narrative: cultural counterpoint and interdisciplinarity in Secondary Education

The current scientific knowledge shift has transformed the narrative into a relevant theme when we search the significance of the human experience. Investigated as a teaching technique among sixth year students from Botucatu City, in São Paulo State, that were confronted by the urban environment of the Salvaterra Village, on Marajó Island, in Brazil, it revealed the strength of the binary oppositions, that are previewed in the conceptual sketch, stimulated the re-elaboration of the previous concepts, and re-signification of both, values and social conditioning. The narrative, used as a teaching technique, supplies an effective learning, so that the spectator sets the sequence of picture, making to emerge meaning according to his experience and cognitive structure.
