Course Description
This class will provide you with conceptual, cultural, language, and reading frameworks to improve your overall critical thinking about literature from the Spanish-speaking world. You will read critically, actively listen, enhance formal writing skills, and speak for learning. By the end of the semester, students will have learned how to analyze a text by considering the plot, literary devices, and post-formalist structures that influence audience interpretations (sociopolitical and other reference points). Primarily demonstrations of skills include well-organized analytical essays and creative projects that can allow a more flexible interpretation of the complex topics at hand.
