Azulejo: Anthology & Guide to the AP Spanish Literature and Culture Course (Spanish Edition)

Using every text from the revised AP® Spanish Literature and Culture curriculum required reading list, Azulejo prepares Advanced-Low to Advanced-Mid level students for success in the Spanish AP® Literature and Culture Course by simultaneously emphasizing literary and historical context and the College Board's themes.

Azulejo can provide advanced level Spanish students:

A Balanced Approach
The Azulejo anthology stresses historical and cultural context of each literary movement, author, and work.The units progress chronologically but are organized along a common thread (e.g., a genre). Each unit opens with the study of relevant literary-historical information, introduces authors and literature, and closes with comparative questions.

AP® Texts and Themes
Azulejo contains every text from the AP® Spanish Literature and Culture required reading list and
incorporates every integrating theme and organizing concept of the new AP® curriculum, emphasizing the Five Cs (Communication, Communities, Cultures, Comparisons, and Connections) and adding a sixth: Creativity.

A Creative, Multifaceted Perspective
Azulejo encourages students to first examine each text within its own historical and cultural context, setting aside personal, cultural values of their time to hear the author's voice inside the text. The book then challenges students with creative activities and authentic media exercises to cultivate interdisciplinary cultural comparisons.
