Designed for both new and experienced teachers of AP Spanish Literature, this workshop will disseminate information about the AP course, the exam and its correction and share successful teaching procedures. We will discuss and develop strategies for teaching certain works that represent different themes and genres. For example, we will take advantage of the fact that we are living and breathing Sevilla to give life to El Burlador de Sevilla and the Rimas de Becquer. The reading list for AP Spanish Literature requires the close study of how form and theme work together to create literature. Since the majority of the works are poems, we will use poetry as the keystone of our work together. Participants should be familiar with as many of the texts in the AP syllabus as possible before coming to the workshop. Participants should bring the two volumes Abriendo puertas: Tomo 1 y 2 by McDougal Littell at http://www.nextext.com. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own texts or anthologies containing the majority of these works. We will spend time examining and discussing teaching approaches to the "obras". Each participant will design and present activities to prepare students to take the AP exam and write a paper based on the presentation by the end of the workshop. The workshop will be conducted in Spanish. Instructor: John McMullan, The Millbrook School, Millbrook, NY |
