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 Después de leer
activities 1, 2, and 3 for La mejor tinta with the class. Students will
work in pairs for activity 3. Follow the suggestions in the anno 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.
ASSIGNMENT
- Prepare Después de leer
activity 4 for La mejor tinta for the next class.
