This article reports on the pedagogical experience of the elective course "Language of the Ocean," developed with students in Cycle I (6th and 7th grades) at a Municipal Full-Time School (EMTI) in Fortaleza (CE), Brazil. The central objective was to investigate how creative writing, mediated by the use of logbooks in Bullet Journals, could act as a device for ocean literacy and for the construction of students' narrative identity, transforming sensory experiences and field records into narrative memories. Methodologically, the proposal was grounded in action research and structured into stages of aesthetic awareness, multimodal writing workshops, and field experiences integrated into the discussion of the Blue Curriculum. The results demonstrate that 75% of the students produced structured narratives with marks of authorship, and 80% achieved an understanding of the principles of ocean literacy. It is concluded that the intersection between Geography and Portuguese Language, in light of SDG 14, promotes the recomposition of socio-ecological metabolism and youth agency, consolidating ocean citizenship through the authorial systematization of environmental knowledge.
