TitleTextual Analysis of an Obituary in Spanish
Body

This week's Activity of the Week, by Barbara Lafford, is intended for an advanced Spanish grammar class. The activity illustrates how students apply their understanding of rhetorical situation and genre in the analysis of authentic texts. In this example students use a textual analysis template to examine an obituary from this online site. For more about the importance of rhetorical situation, genre, and pragmatics in language classes, see this week's Topic of the Week article by Dr. Lafford.
