As a methodology, the ABNT 6023 standard for books and/or pamphlets was used for structuring the teaching material. The result was the development of a primer model that will allow producers to better understand and manage the cunicular activity. It was concluded that from this prototype it will be possible to expand the content according to the project's needs.
