AP Spanish Literature
I'm planning on doing Independent Studies for Spanish Lit next year. I'm currently enrolled in Spanish Language; I have a high A in the class and put little to no effort into maintaining it. Spanish is one of my passions, and, although I don't plan on majoring or minoring in it, I'm definitely planning on still pursuing it and using it in the future.
Anyway. At my school, AP Spanish Language is labeled as Spanish IV AP. After Spanish IV AP is Spanish V AP, obviously, which I have to take because I'm doing Higher Level Spanish for IB. However, Spanish V AP is basically a repeat of Spanish IV AP--you're in the same classes doing the same exact things. So I decided that I'm going to independently study for the exam.
With that said, how were your experiences in your classrooms for AP Spanish Lit? What did you have to do (essay tests every week? etc.)? What textbooks did you use? (I'm currently looking into Abriendo puertas tomas 1 y 2 and Momentos cumbres de las literaturas hispánicas: Introducción al análisis literario, the latter which my Spanish teacher already has available.) What was the structure of your class, and what did you learn each semester? How did you do on the AP exam? If you took Spanish Language, how did you do on that exam? What do you wish you'd done in your class that would've made the outcome of your exams better? (Did that make sense?)
Thanks in advance! I've never done any independent studies before, so this'll be a bit of a challenge for me.
