What to teach on the second week of AP Spanish Literature
I made a general post for AP Spanish courses, but starting at week two they might look different for AP Spanish language and AP Spanish Literature.
Interactive Notebooks
If you are planning on using an Interactive notebook for AP Spanish Literature this is when you will introduce the concept to students. Why wait until week two? Many students change courses during the first two weeks of school and interactive notebooks take time and many copies to make. It is best to wait off a bit in order to make sure what your classes will look like. During week two you can introduce the concept and provide them with 1 or 2 of the graphics. I would not give all the notebooks out since students can still switch classes.
AP Exam Format
As I explained discussing the AP Exam Format is important but with all honesty students will forget about most of it by the time the actual preparation for the AP Exam comes. You can ask a couple of questions during warmups in case some students really want to know what the test looks like.
Reading Assignments
I will begin with the first reading this week. Students can have a sense of what the readings will be like. Everyone chooses a different route on how to teach the readings; at this point you should have chosen how you will teach the readings.
Movements and Themes
Go over literary movements with students. It is important for students to visualize and understand the chronological order of literary movements.
Literacy Works
Start introducing some literacy concepts. Make sure you begin with the ones they are most familiar with because they have learned them in English/ Language arts class. Provide fun worksheets that will encourage students to practice and will not intimidate them. During this time I like to pass out a packet of literacy terms that can be useful (this packet is usually given to you by AP board).
Dailies
If you plan on assigning weekly words this is when you can start introducing this concept.
Will students keep a journal? This is when you should start assigning journal prompts.
Remember this is just a general guide of what your second week can look like, every class and every teacher is different. Do what feels best for you!
