An AP Spanish Literature and Culture learning site created by Maria Gloria Borsa. Quijoteando combines a structured course pathway with a weekly AP SPLIT plan, helping students study literature, language, culture, and exam skills through Spanish-language classroom routines and guided resources.

How can I use it?Use the Programa de estudios pathway to orient students to the course: class rules, daily practice, required materials, assessment expectations, make-up work, tutorials, and the literary study sequence. The page provides Spanish and English guidance and frames the course around active participation, close reading, writing, discussion, and preparation for the AP Spanish Literature and Culture exam. Use the Nuestra semana pathway for weekly planning. The linked AP SPLIT presentation organizes daily objectives and activities around literary texts and cultural context, with links to AP Classroom videos, Prezi presentations, films, vocabulary work, and independent study. The site also links to AP Classroom, Quizlet, Cervantes Virtual, Artehistoria, the Museo del Prado, an AP Spanish Literature live-review playlist, and the Quijotesco YouTube channel. This is especially useful for teachers building or refreshing an AP Spanish Literature course and for students who need a clear weekly path from required readings to interpretation, discussion, writing, and exam practice. The creator’s classroom policies and grading details belong to her own school; use them as planning examples and adapt them to your institution’s policies.
