Azulejo's standards-based curriculum, simultaneously emphasizing context and themes, introduces students to high-level critical thinking as it prepares them for success in the AP® Spanish Literature and Culture Course. Azulejo is divided into units that progress chronologically, but are organized along a common thread. The chronological approach allows students to study the historical context in which the work was written and to appreciate how authors see, engage, and influence their world. Azulejo contains every text from 2012-2013 AP® Spanish Literature and Culture reading list.Student EditionAzulejo explores every integrating theme and organizing concept introduced in the new AP® curriculum. Each unit opens with the study of relevant literary-historical information, introduces authors and literature, and closes with comparative questions. The new edition includes significantly expanded introduction and analysis sections of all authors, paying special attention to certain texts that many teachers have considered particularly challenging for students.
