COURSE NARRATIVE
The SPAN 322 class fulfilled MLOs 1 and 3. In this class, I had the opportunity to learn about Hispanic literature, culture, social issues, history and important writers of Latin American and the Caribbean. Also, I practiced my language skills during class presentations and class discussions. I really enjoyed this class because Dr. Urioste introduced us to different literature movements such as the Romanticism, Naturalism, the Latin American Boom, etc. In addition, I learned about the biography of Latin American writers and some of their master works in literature. On another hand, the required book for this class was Voces de Hispanoamerica. This book contains many literature readings and poetry from the ancient civilizations of America to the contemporary period. I really like this book because it incorporates relevant information about Latin American writers. One of my favorite writers is Carlos Fuentes. For that reason, I did a presentation about one of his writings named “Chal Mool”
(SPAN 322: PowerPoint). In this presentation, I had to analyze the reading, talk about the author’s life and some of his literature works. This presentation helped me to learn more about Carlos Fuentes and the way he incorporates Magic Realism in his writings. To conclude, this class provided me a lot of important and interesting information that will help me in my future career as Spanish teacher. Also, this class helped me to become more familiarized with Latin American literature.
