Diverse print materials and media are readily available to support a varied and engaging curriculum on the life and works of the Spanish poet, Federico García Lorca. The content of this monographic course encompasses biography, personal correspondence, a friend's diary, film, CD-ROM technology, music and student performance, selected to showcase Lorca's poetry, drama, literary lectures, sketch art and musical compositions. Creative incentives for promoting student discussion and critical analysis are suggested in the course description. Recent research on the pedagogical value of performance undergirds course design and methodology. Two unique events highlight the semester class. The first function, a tribute to Lorca with poetry recitation, song and a slide series, features guest artists from Spain, college music students, modern languages faculty and a prize-winning poetry professor from the English Department. The second entertaining and educational enterprise is a student performance of Tragicomedia de don Cristóbaly la seiiá Rosita. The actual curriculum and events provide a model susceptible of multiple variations for varying levels and circumstances.
