La canción de la semana: Bailando por Enrique Iglesias | Shared by Elizabeth Dentlinger at SraDentlinger.wordpress.com
One of the ways I am trying to improve my Spanish 2 course is to infuse it with music. The primary Spanish 1 teacher has a long list of songs that my students would repeatedly ask for during work time, and my predecessor was a music aficionada from what I’ve heard… so I figured this must be one of the magical ingredients I was missing last semester. I began last week with La Lista by Aldrey. After falling in love with Alvaro Soler’s El mismo sol, I was crushed when I realized the kids had already learned it last year! So this week I settled for get to enjoy Bailando by Enrique Iglesias. Here is the Enrique Iglesias presentation that we used Monday and here is the Bailando packet of activities we’re working on. I had fun looking for new activities to use with this song! The first activity is word cloud of lyrics in the shape of dancers, the second is a traditional cloze listening for cognates, the third asks students to match the cognate to a definition or synonym, and the fourth asks students to choose which (translated) lyric happens first in the song. There are also two different versions of an IPA – Interpretive Assessment because this was the only way I could justify spending so much time on a song! I’m still working on getting better at my interpretive IPA assessments so if you have suggestions please let me know!

Awesome. What did you use to create the word cloud in shape of the two dancers?
I used Tagul. I had to upload this particular shape to get the words in it. I know there is a world cloud maker within Google Docs but in not sure if you can do this with it.
