Authentic Poetry

Jan 21, 2016 | By Jessica

These are authentic Spanish poems written by well known poets, including Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, and Jose Marti, among others. The book begins with "level one" poems, but I feel a student would need to be in at least Spanish 3 to even consider using this book with them. It continues with Intermediate to Advanced level poems. Each poem has the most uncommon vocabulary words listed in bold, with English translations available on the right. The poem is followed by a brief vocabulary section, grammar section, comprehension questions, recitation exercise, and an area for students to try their hand writing a poem on the same subject. There is also a "reporter" exercise for students to search for author information on the internet. Nothing is particularly in-depth or earth-shattering, and it is a bit dated, but it is useful for beginning to look at authentic poetry or in an AP/literature course.

Excellent way to begin the study of poetry with beginning to intermediate students! Have used the book for several years and it has proven to be a good introduction for the study of more difficult poems studied in my AP courses.
