Course Description

The study of Hispanic poetry represents a fundamental aspect of the curriculum of any Spanish class.  Poetic analysis is among one of the more challenging aspects of literary studies for students and instructors alike.  In this course, participants will read and analyze poetry of the Spanish-speaking world across different historical periods, literary movements, and themes.  In addition, this course will offer participants strategies and techniques for teaching poetry to students in the Pre-Advanced Placement classroom and in the AP Spanish Language and Culture and AP Spanish Literature and Culture classrooms.  Special attention will be given to the literary analysis using poetic devices as a way to explicate different themes in poetry.  Course participants will review the curricular underpinnings of the AP course frameworks and gain a solid understanding as to how poetry allows individuals to express their inner being.  ​Conducted in Spanish with some readings in English.
