AP Spanish IV - Substitute Work

Ladies, in my absence you should complete the work listed below using the iPads that I have reserved for you. Please feel free to ask Señor for assistance with reading comprehension AFTER you have read through each selection at least once. I am very aware that you will NOT complete this work in class today, but you should finish this for homework & be prepared to discuss the stories in class on Thursday.

1. If you have NOT finished recording your ShowMe, please do so & e-mail it to me! All ShowMe's that I have received are posted on my blog. In order to receive credit for this assignment, you must e-mail your ShowMe to me by 1:15 p.m. on 10/23.

2. Read this brief biography of Horacio Quiroga. We will be studying him for the next few weeks - he's the perfect author to read as el Dia de los Muertos approaches! I know biographies are not always the most exciting assignments, but his life has a tremendous impact on his literature. You must understand him in order to understand his various themes.

3. Read each of the stories below & answer the questions that accompany each. You may work with a partner. Each student must submit her own answers - in Spanish. You may type these answers & send them to me via e-mail. Feel free to use either Notability or Google Docs - whatever is easiest for you.

Las Medias de los Flamencos

El almohadón de plumas

As we enter into this new unit of Cuentos y Leyendas, you should consider these Essential Questions:

¿Cómo influyen los productos culturales, las prácticas y las perspectivas de la gente en la vida contemporánea?

¿Cómo las artes desafían y reflejan las perspectivas culturales?

¿Cómo se establecen las percepciones de la belleza y la creatividad?
