IN-CLASS ACTIVITIES
- Direct students’ attention to Sobre
el autor. Ask them how Valladares’s experiences are reflected in La
mejor tinta.
- Have students read the poem aloud, pausing at
the end of a line only when the meaning requires a pause (Estrategia de
lectura). Ask students to point out examples of repetition, alliteration,
onomatopoeia, internal rhyme, and imagery (Análisis
literario).
- Follow the suggestion in the anno in the IAE
to have students analyze the poem’s title.
- Work through the Después de
leer activities for La mejor tinta with the class. Students will work
in pairs for activities 3 and 4. Follow the suggestions in the annos in the IAE
to have students use si clauses with compound tenses to speculate on the
life they would have led in the poet’s situation and to discuss why
writers do not accept being
silenced.
