Don quijote

​Don Quijote might be the most complex text that our students need to read and analyze. The levels of narrative the multiple "authors", mix of stories, contras of themes and characters add multiple layers of complexity and I my goal is to make all that as easy as possible for our students. 
In this presentation I explain A LOT - 55 slides of lots of information and examples directly from the text to talk about each theme and some literary resources. 
I usually let my students find their own examples before I explain, but in this case I prefer to do the opposite.... I explain everything BEFORE we start and after I have explain themes and literary resources I ask them to provide a similar example. There is a lot to cover here, but I break it down and explain how the themes/literary resources manifest in each chapter we have to read. This helps me and my students breakdown the text and find better examples. ​​

• Contexto literario
