Researching the Spanish Pavilion
Author
Eaton, Emily
Description
A winner of the James F. Slevin Assignment Sequence Prize, this sequence originates from Spanish 1110, Guts, Ghosts, and Glory—The Writing of the Spanish Civil War. The sequence consists of two distinct, yet topically linked essays. For the first essay, students conduct research on the artworks displayed at the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 World Exposition in Paris, eventually writing a letter in which they imagine themselves to have visited the Pavilion and to be writing to a friend about an artwork they saw. In the fourth essay, students write about the same artwork but in academic essay form and including secondary sources. Preparatory writing such as annotated bibliographies and activities such as library visits aim at developing needed writing and research skills as well as consideration of key course concepts. 8 page pdf
