Course Overview
AP Spanish Literature and Culture is designed to introduce students to the formal
study of Peninsular Spanish, Latin American, and U.S. Hispanic literature. The
course aims to develop students’ critical reading and analytical writing skills in
Spanish as wellas their ability to make interdisciplinary connections and explore
linguistic and cultural comparisons.
This course will be conducted entirely in Spanish appropriate to this level and
covers the entire official AP Spanish Literature and Culture reading list. Students
are expected to discuss literary texts and their different historical, socio-cultural
and geopolitical contexts in a variety ofinteractive oral and written formats in
Spanish. Additionally, students will analyze themes and features of artistic
representations, audiovisual materials and audio sources in Spanish related to
course content.

Course Content & Thematic Approach to Literature
Students will learn the definition and application of a variety of literary
terminology required to properly analyze all authenticliterary works. Through- out
the course, students will read and analyze works of prose, poetry and drama
from different periods with a consideration of their cultural, social, historical and
philosophical context. The AP Spanish Literature and Culture course readings
will be discussed under the “lens” of several themes. This thematic approach will
lend itself to the constant connections tobe made by comparing and contrasting
texts from different genres, centuries and literary movements. The two main
texts, Abriendo Puertas Ampliando Perspectivas (2012), & Azulejo (2012)
provide students with the socio-cultural context necessary to fully comprehend
each piece. Abridged versions of the texts are not used; the instructor provides
the students with the full text in its originalversion. The two-semester course and
its activities are intended to teach and enhance a student’s ability to acquire,
identify, understand, discuss, interpret and analyze the form and content of
literary works of prose, poetry and drama along with the literary terms and
conceptual aspects of art and history of the time. The lessons are designed to
help students interpret the figures of speech,tone, genre, style, characters,
themes and literary symbols in an effort to develop their analytical and
interpretative skills always relating works to one another under the perspective of
at least one of the six course themes.
The course explicitly addresses each of the following themes:
