Generally, the learning of Biochemistry is too hard for college student. Biochemistry required the abstract thinking to understanding the molecular level the metabolism of living. The Biochemical learning experience carried out connecting Biochemistry and Literature to provide a collaborative learning method. The students of the School of Medicine, first semester 2016 was organized in 29 groups each with 3-4 students and they had to write a poem with a specific theme related to Biochemistry that had to write the poem and presents it to class orally, to expose a poem’s banner and all groups together had to organize a printed book. Instead other points the evaluation sheet from students pointed out to elaborate own texts and used academic vocabulary about Biochemistry theme were too hard and hard, respectively; 73% of them said the activity help them to learning a new thing and 79% agree that the activity help them to learning the specific Biochemistry topic. This demonstrates the need of activities that exercise writing on biochemical topics collaborating with the scientific growth of the college students. This activity promoted major learning about specific Biochemistry theme and the development to others desired skills in the profile of that the course proposes, like to collaborative work and to present your work in public. Instead that, to use a different learning methodology helps students develop the abstract thinking necessary for Biochemistry learning.
