Due to its particularities, as a literary genre, cordel literature offers a range of reflections on the diverse histories and customs of a society, bringing to the fore knowledge, artistic manifestations and customs acquired by a region. Understanding the interdisciplinarity that such a genre offers, this study aims to present how cordel literature can be used as an instrument or methodological and didactic resource for the teaching of Geography, contributing to the teaching and learning process. For that, it uses the phenomenological method, with a qualitative approach and a descriptive research, using semi-structured questionnaires with public teachers from three states in the Northeast: Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Paraí­ba (PB) and Ceará (CE) as a tool for data collection. Thus, we perceive that cordel literature is present in geography classes, promoting the use and appropriate actions for the construction of geographic concepts as well as reflections of generative and transversal themes, enhancing students' learning beyond the curricular theorizations put forth by the textbook. Thus, it is concluded that such a genre makes possible contributions to the learning of different areas, contributing to the integral formation of students.
