This lesson was developed while I was completing the course requirements for teacher licensure at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. The course was called EDUC331: Educational Technology and Assessment. The course contained a variety of technology-related activities that future teachers could incorporate into their classrooms.

After completing the WebQuest, students should be able to identify basic elements of the Spanish Renaissance period and to distinguish between the poetry of the Salamantine and Sevillian schools. They will have read poems by Fray Luis de León and Fernando de Herrera. Some students will compose a poem that contains the characteristics of the Spanish Renaissance, while others will grade these poems using their acquired knowledge..

This lesson was created for an 11th grade Spanish class, who will be working on incorporating both their reading and writing skills [CO Foreign Language standards 1.3-1.4] into a unit on Spanish culture. The unit will be covering the Golden Age: the Spanish Renaissance and the literature of the period.

As students at the advanced level further extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes analyzing and synthesizing reading materials; recognizing the author's point of view and purpose; expressing personal reactions to reading materials; and interpreting cultural elements found in reading materials. For students extending their foreign language education, what they know and are able to do may include using literary terminology accurately including setting, character, conflict, plot, resolution, and theme; and responding to and discussing a variety of authentic texts.

As students at the advanced level further extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes analyzing and drawing conclusions; incorporating information from foreign language resource materials in their writing; selecting and expressing ideas and opinions on topics from various content areas; and using specialized vocabulary and more advanced grammatical structures. For students extending their foreign language education, what they know and are able to do may include: writing business letters and/or advertisements; using writing skills to analyze, persuade and hypothesize with increasing accuracy; and writing creative poetry and short stories.
