Introduction to Literary Analysis

N OW THAT FOURTH year Spanish in the high school is here to stay and fifth year Spanish is rapidly finding a place in the high school curriculum,' several questions arise that need answers. One of the main questions is how to teach literature at that age and intelligence level, maintain interest and succeed in creating not only interest but enthusiasm as well. Our intent here is to try to show how literature can be made meaningful and enjoyable to this group of youngsters. Throughout our presentation we will keep in mind these questions which should be ever present in the classroom situation. (1) What shall be the criteria for our selection of reading material? (2) Does our presentation allow for individual interest and intellectual capacity? (3) How far can we lead each student and how much can we demand of him/her
