Product Description
Product Description
"Galeria de arte y vida" expands your advanced students' knowledge of the Spanish language with a perfect blend of literature, structure, and conversation. Students travel the Spanish-speaking world to read selections from classic and contemporary Hispanic literature, to view masterpieces of painting and sculpture, and to meet the many changing faces that make up Hispanic culture.
"Galeria de arte y vida" is composed of twelve "cuadros" or units. Each "cuadro" is structured around a universal theme such as "El arte, La fantasia, El humorismo, El indio.".. For example, in "La mujer," students reflect on the influence of women in today's society.
Each "cuadro" includes four major sections: "Para preparar la escena" provides background material to introduce the unit theme. "Para presentar la lectura" focuses on the literary content and authors and directs the students' approach to the selection by means of pre-reading activities. "Para entablar conversacion" contains questions that promote conversation and relate personal experience to the readings and cuadro theme. "Seleccion" contains a rich variety of authors and literary genres, including short stories, plays, songs, excerpts from novels, plays, and poetry. "Para continuar conversando" improves students' communicative skills by generating discussion topics related to the central themes of the readings.

Loves Studying Spanish
29 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has been a great addition to my ever-growing library of Spanish books as I'm a life-long learner, and lover, of the language. I purchased this book to help my high school daughter with her class work, and I've found it to be one of the best books in my library! I say this because it offers grammar, stories, and a host of other things aimed at helping the learner process inforamtion in the best way that works for that particular learner! I especially like the parts called Palabras Clave (Key Words) in each section because the words are given in Spanish AND they are defined in Spanish (with examples of usage)! This aids in my ability to "think Spanish" which is not as quickly achieve when learning the word in Spanish and then learning the meaning in English. Overall, it's a great addition...
