About This Section
■
The “Presentational Speaking: Cultural
Comparison” section of the AP* Exam requires
students to consider a prompt about a topic of
cultural interest. They will then prepare an oral
presentation in which they compare their own
culture(s) and the culture(s) of the Spanish-
speaking world with which they are familiar in
terms of the aspect described in the prompt.
This section lasts approximately six minutes and
counts for 12.5% of the student’s overall score on
the test.
■
Students will have four minutes to prepare
the presentation and two minutes to speak.
Because the purpose of this activity is to evaluate
students’ spoken expression in Spanish and
their cultural and cross-cultural understanding, it
is important that they take full advantage of the
two-minute time allowance, in order to give as
complete a speaking sample as possible to the
test scorers.
■
You may wish to set a strict time limit while
administering the practice activities on these
pages in order to simulate the testing conditions.
Or, you may wish to allow students more time in
order to put into practice the
Estrategias
given.
You may also want to have students record their
presentation so that they can evaluate their
strengths and weaknesses, and devise a strategy
for improving their spoken Spanish.

GRAMMAR STRUCTURES:
Comparing and Contrasting
r
In their presentations, students will need to
compare and contrast their home culture
with the culture(s) of the Spanish-speaking
world. They will therefore need to use
grammatical structures for comparing and
contrasting, as well as related transitional
words and phrases. Have students review
the grammar presentation on page 308
before beginning this activity. They can also
refer to the
Resumen de gramática
at the
end of the book. Have them brainstorm
transitional words that would be useful in
making these comparisons.
VOCABULARY
r
Students may find it easier to begin
speaking about each of these three topics if
they have a list of useful vocabulary about
each. Have them brainstorm vocabulary
about the topics of festivals and holidays,
new technology, and art. Remind them that
their lists should include not only nouns, but
also verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and other
expressions. They should use the dictionary
to include terms with which they are not
already familiar. Have them share their lists
in small groups and add more terms, or
create a master list for the class.
