Students are expected to take the National AP Spanish Literature Examination in May. Students are required to read one literary work suggested by the Foreign Language department during the summer preceding the course. Students are tested on this summer reading when school begins and their summer reading grade is included in their first quarter course grade. Prerequisites: A high level of success in previous Spanish language courses and a teacher recommendation.
