Summary:In this article, the authors propose an activity which revolves around three elements (interactivity, team learning, and peer-to-peer instruction) and consists of the drafting of a "newspaper." The different characteristics of each of its sections permits the approach to the teaching/learning process, in the context of physiological adaptations, to be more dynamic and attractive to students, who will simultaneously develop a wide range of transversal and specific abilities, which are described in the teaching guide of the subject enabling them to use their knowledge of physiological mechanisms and making possible the multidisciplinary coupling of physiology.
