TEACHING STRATEGIES:<br />
The first strategy used in this course is to show the students the wonderful world<br />
of <strong>Spanish</strong> Literature. They will be reading some of the most beautiful,<br />
interesting, and thought-provoking literature that have ever been written.<br />
For better comprehension of the readings, there will be bell ringers in the<br />
beginning of every class. The bell ringers will be written assignments, directed<br />
questioning, and group discussions.<br />
To aid reading comprehension, students complete graphic organizers as they read<br />
each literary work. The organizer allows students to list information such as:<br />
literary terms required to describe the devices found within the work, the theme(s)<br />
in the readings, cultural content to frame the theme, etc.<br />
Group work and peer editing are extremely excellent in understanding the<br />
readings. Students do not learn the same, discussions about the literary works can<br />
help the class better comprehend the works.<br />
STUDENT ACTIVITIES<br />
Students are required to complete four group projects (one per quarter) concerning<br />
different themes from the readings.<br />
Students will also write essays throughout the year. The essays have to be typed, 12 inch<br />
font, and well developed. The essays need to have an introduction, body, and conclusion.<br />
The must also contain quotes from the readings to support your thesis statement.<br />
