For the Spring quarter, students will read short plays from Latin American writers in Spanish.

Students will write short response papers and a final essay and may be expected to act some of the play content.
Our work will be conducted remotely, using Canvas and Zoom. Students will need access to a computer with a strong internet connection. Students should expect four hours of synchronous (scheduled) time per week.
