In this research, were analysed the visual representations made by high school students as a result of reading a cult fairy tale and creating a project entitled "Harap-Alb's journey seen through the eyes of children" in the 10th grade geography lessons. The projects were carried out by 26 students, who worked in pairs. The geography teacher presented them on the Google Classroom platform the structure of the project (visual and written components), tasks (forming groups, reading fairy tales, making mind maps), instructions and requirements. The aim of this activity was to identify and illustrate ways in which certain cognitive barriers can be removed and through which dynamic and creative thinking can be acquired/encouraged.
