AP SpLit Unit 6 covers 8 topics spanning 20th-century theater and poetry: García Lorca's *La casa de Bernarda Alba* and *"Prendimiento de Antoñito el Camborio"*, Dragún's *El hombre que se convirtió en perro*, Neruda's *"Walking around"*, Guillén's *"Balada de los dos abuelos"*, Morejón's *"Mujer negra"*, Julia de Burgos's *"A Julia de Burgos"*, and Storni's *"Peso ancestral"*. The unit connects historical and sociocultural context to literary production, so expect questions about how identity, race, gender, and political reality shape each text. See all 8 topics at [/ap-spanish-lit/unit-6](/ap-spanish-lit/unit-6). ### What's on the AP SpLit Unit 6 progress check (MCQ and FRQ)? The AP SpLit Unit 6 progress check pulls MCQ and FRQ questions directly from the unit's 8 texts, including García Lorca's plays and poems, Pablo Neruda's *"Walking around"*, and the poetry of Guillén, Morejón, Julia de Burgos, and Storni. MCQ passages test close reading and literary analysis in Spanish, while FRQ prompts ask you to connect texts to theme, context, or technique. The progress check is assigned through AP Classroom, and your score shows which texts or skills need more attention. For matched practice on these same texts, visit [/ap-spanish-lit/unit-6](/ap-spanish-lit/unit-6). ### How do I practice AP SpLit Unit 6 FRQs? AP SpLit Unit 6 FRQs typically ask you to analyze how a specific literary technique, theme, or historical context shapes meaning in one of the unit's texts, such as Pablo Neruda's *"Walking around"*, *La casa de Bernarda Alba*, or *"Peso ancestral"* by Storni. You'll write in Spanish, so practicing your analytical vocabulary alongside the content matters. To build FRQ skills, try these steps: - Pick one text at a time and write a short thesis connecting it to a theme like identity, power, or social critique. - Practice citing specific lines or scenes as textual evidence. - Time yourself at 35-40 minutes to match real exam conditions. - Review your response for literary terminology (metáfora, símbolo, tono, etc.). Find prompts and guided practice at [/ap-spanish-lit/unit-6](/ap-spanish-lit/unit-6). ### Where can I find AP SpLit Unit 6 practice questions?

College Board's AP Classroom also releases progress check MCQs for this unit after your teacher assigns them. ### How should I study AP SpLit Unit 6? Start by reading each of the 8 texts closely and annotating for theme, literary devices, and historical context, since AP SpLit Unit 6 rewards students who can connect a poem like Pablo Neruda's *"Walking around"* or *"Balada de los dos abuelos"* to its sociocultural moment. A concrete study plan: - Group the texts by theme: identity and race (Guillén, Morejón, Julia de Burgos), gender and society (Storni, García Lorca), and alienation or political critique (Neruda, Dragún). - For each text, write one sentence explaining what the author criticizes or celebrates and one sentence naming the key literary technique used. - Practice writing short analytical paragraphs in Spanish using textual evidence. - Review vocabulary for literary analysis: *metáfora*, *anáfora*, *símbolo*, *tono*, *voz poética*. - Test yourself with MCQ passages to check your close-reading speed.
