Display these works in the classroom and school hallways. Show students several music videos from Spanish-speaking countries and ask them to note titles of songs, names of artists, personal preferences, and other relevant information. Have students create promotional posters for their favourite videos. Using the posters as props, students could then role-play a panel of critics discussing the music. Invite students to work in groups to choose their favourite selections from a variety of CDs in Spanish and put together music awards ceremonies for the class.
Students often work collaboratively to develop their responses.
After students have developed posters for their favourite music videos, have them work in pairs to compare videos. Ask each pair to make a presentation to the class, using their posters as props, comparing the two videos and discussing their opinions. After the presentations, have groups summarize the feedback they received and offer self-assessments of their work. Copyright 1997 All Rights Reserved. BC MOE Curriculum Branch .
