AP Spanish (Spanish V) - Literature and Culture

The AP Spanish Literature and Culture course is designed to provide students with a learning experience equivalent to that of a college/university survey course in literature written in Spanish. This thematically based course introduces students to the formal study of a representative body of texts from Peninsular Spanish, Latin American, and U.S. Hispanic literature, including short stories, novels, poetry, drama, and essays, ranging from the Medieval period to the present. The six required course themes in AP Spanish Literature and Culture provide a meaningful basis for making contextual connections among works of different genres, periods, movements, and techniques. The six themes are the following:societies in contact, construction of gender, time and space, interpersonal relationships, the duality of human beings and literary creation. Students will be prepared to take the Spanish AP literature exam in the spring.
