IN-CLASS ACTIVITIES
- Direct students’ attention to Sobre
el autor. Ask them how Vallejo’s proclivity for complexity is seen in
Masa.
- Have students read the poem aloud. Ask them
to paraphrase the last line of each stanza in different ways (Análisis
literario and Estrategia de lectura). Have students compare the
effect of Vallejo’s original line and the effect of their
paraphrases.
- Work through Después de leer
activities 1, 2, and 3 for Masa with the class. Follow the suggestions in
the annos in the IAE to ask students what audience Vallejo is trying to reach
and what the poem’s ideas are regarding the masses and social
solidarity.
- If possible, play for students Daniel
Viglietti’s version of Masa set to music. (The album Canciones
para mi América is available on
CD.)
ASSIGNMENT
- Prepare Después de leer
activities 4 and 5 for Masa for the next class. Do activity 5 in
writing.
- Continue preparing the Literatura
activity from the VENTANAS web site to be submitted electronically
before class on Day 6.
