Reading Spanish literature and watching films can be fun! This is the first course in a series for advanced Spanish students. Each lesson contains a thematically linked full-length or short film and three to four carefully chosen reading passages from well-known literary authors. The genres of these passages include short stories, poems, plays, and essays. You will develop critical thinking skills through activities that promote efficient viewing, comprehension, and discussion of films, and literary selections. You will also explore literary and film techniques, and in-depth analysis and interpretations. Focus on developing writing skills by using exercises that ask you to synthesize cultural information presented in the lesson’s selections. Films and essays are suggested for this class, but may change based on the instructor's choice and the availability of materials.
