What is Spanish Transition

This chapter presents a pedagogical proposal for a contemporary Spanish literature lesson in which students work on key social-emotional skills while carrying out textual analysis. Taking selected excerpts from Montero's Crónica del desamor and Etxebarria's Amor, curiosidad, prozac, y dudas, the chapter will capitalize on women's writing's potential to educate students on gender-based violence and raise awareness of the importance of sexuality education as a preventative measure. The proposed text-based discussions raise key issues of comprehensive sexuality education and give students the ability to reflect on what constitutes a healthy relationship and how to identify signs of an unhealthy relationship.
