AP Spanish Literature Clear Brook High School 2014-2015 Señora: Judith Abuhamra Email: jabuhamr@ccisd.net Tutorials: Tues/Thurs 2:30-3:20 Room 240 Course Overview This course covers the major movements in Hispanic literature from the medieval period through the latest literary trends. It eliminates the barriers of national literature to illustrate the ties that exist between the cultures. The text is a source of cultural and historical information from which we can examine many aspects of Hispanic studies-from basic customs to intrinsic values. The goals of the course are to teach students analysis skills in order to extract important information and nuances from each selection and to teach them to reflect upon present social and cultural situations. The students will also be able to explain their analysis fluently both in oral and in written composition. Students will re-examine AP selections read during previous years’ study and complete the remaining selections from the AP College Board reading list. Students will be able to analyze critically, orally and in writing, using appropriate terminology, the form and content of literary texts of Spanish and Spanish American literature, including poetry, from all time periods and from a variety of genres.
