• How is listening to a song different from other types of listening?
It creates
a certain atmosphere in the way the music blends to the lyrics. The rhythm of
the music can also attract the attention of students or any who is listening to
the song.
• What kinds of listening skills and strategies are students going to
practice?
Due to the chosen song being widely known in Spanish because
of the movie Toy Story, the students might realize that translation from
Spanish to English, or vice versa, are not to be taken literally
• How easy was it to find the song and the lyrics?
Finding the
song wasn’t much of an ordeal. We focused in songs that the students would be
able to relate to and most possibly know beforehand.
• Would your students be able to do this type of activity on their own?
We are
quite positive that students will be able to perform the task by their own.
Considering that the material is already created and on the web for easy
tracking .

ResponderEliminarI liked the fact that you did not just use a technological tool but also created an activity for students. I think that is important what you said "translation from Spanish to English, or vice versa, are not to be taken literally". That is a good way to teach students that things are said differently. Good job!
