PAU Spanish Language and Literature II (Extremadura) study plan

Annotate two unseen PAU-style texts (one journalistic column, one literary fragment) identifying thesis, communicative situation and text type in under 25 minutes each

Draft a one-sentence theme statement and a 60-word summary for each of those two texts without copying source wording

Build a structural map (intro-develop-conclusion or narrative sequence) for both texts, labelling the function of each paragraph

Sketch a timeline from 1898 to 1939 placing Generation of '98, Modernismo, Novecentismo and Generation of '27 with three defining traits each

Compile a personal glossary of 20 comprehension-question stems (inferir, deducir, identificar el propósito) with the answer strategy for each

Complete three timed commentaries (35 minutes each) on mixed text types, scoring each against a self-made rubric of comprehension, summary, structure and situation

Read the prescribed Generation of '98 prose or theatre work and write a one-page genre and narrator analysis

Identify and quote five stylistic features (lexicon, syntax, imagery, tone) from that work with a comment on effect

Map the narrative or dramatic structure of the work into acts or sequences and name the climax

Log recurring errors from your commentaries in an error sheet with the corrective rule for each

Read the prescribed Generation of '27 poetry selection and annotate theme, voice, metre and figure of speech for at least four poems

Compare two poems from the selection in a 250-word analytical paragraph using textual evidence

Explain the trajectory from vanguardismo to rehumanización in '27 poetry with two concrete textual markers

Summarise the main aesthetic movements 1898-1936 (Modernismo, Novecentismo, Vanguardismo, Generation of '27) in a comparison table with authors and hallmarks

Write ten flashcards linking authors to works, movements and one defining feature each

Sit a full mock exam section (commentary plus literary question) under 90-minute timed conditions

Self-mark the mock against PAU weighting criteria and record the score per domain

Write a 300-word argumentative essay on a theme drawn from the prescribed reading, using a clear thesis, two arguments and a conclusion

Revise the essay for cohesion: check connectors, pronoun reference and paragraph topic sentences

List five weaknesses from the mock and convert each into a targeted drill for weeks 5-6

Read the prescribed post-1939 work (narrative or theatre) and analyse characters, point of view, time and space in a two-page outline

Trace the work's themes to its historical and literary context with three evidenced links

Write two argumentative essays (300-350 words) on contrasting positions about a theme in the work, each with a distinct thesis

Practise essay openings and closings: draft three alternative introductions for one prompt and choose the strongest with reasons

Build a bank of 15 discourse connectors and 10 academic verbs and use at least eight of them across the two essays

Complete 30 morphosyntax items (ser/estar, subjunctive, passive, periphrasis, pronoun placement) and explain each correction in your own words

Analyse the lexicon and semantics of one commentary text: identify five lexical fields, two semantic shifts and any connotation

Rewrite a weak paragraph from week 4 applying cohesion devices (anaphora, ellipsis, connectors) and compare versions

Do two 30-minute comprehension-only drills, answering inference questions with quoted evidence

Create a one-page grammar checklist of your five most frequent errors with a model corrected sentence for each

Build a full periodisation timeline from 1898 to contemporary literature with movements, authors, works and one representative feature per node

Write short profiles (60 words each) of six key authors across the period, linking each to movement and theme

Answer three exam-style literary-history questions in 15 minutes each, citing authors and works accurately

Re-read your weakest prescribed work and produce a one-page synthesis of genre, themes, characters and style

Cross-check every date and title in your timeline against your notes and flag any you cannot verify

Sit two full timed mock exams (commentary, literary question, essay, language items) under real PAU timing

Self-mark both mocks with the official-style weighting and compare scores to week 4 to measure progress

Review the error sheet and grammar checklist, re-doing every item you previously missed

Memorise and rehearse a 5-minute commentary routine (read, annotate, thesis, structure, write) until it fits the time budget

Prepare a final one-page exam-day checklist covering timing, question order and common traps
