Las partes del cuerpo: una canción o rima

¿Por qué una canción o rima? You remember things much better when it’s in a catchy format. For example… You probably know the capitals of Spanish- speaking countries a lot better than you ever thought you’d know them 

YOUR song or rap! Work in groups of TWO to FOUR. You will be writing your own song or rap to help you remember the body parts vocab words. (Heads up – we will be working with this vocab for the next unit as well. So you’ll want to know it really well ) We will work on it in class all this week, and we are presenting the song on Wednesday, April 8.

Requirements and info At least TWENTY (20) body parts vocab words. Underline and (20)number the vocab words. A variety of grammar structures (think boot verbs, commands, superlative/comparative, gustar-like verbs, ser/estar, etc.) At least FOUR verses/stanzas Use the tune of an existing song, unless you are doing a rap Include gestures, movements and/or props to accompany your song. Touch or point to the body parts you mention in your song/rap. Major grade. All group members will receive the same grade, so let me know if somebody is not pulling their share. Everyone should have more or less an equal part! Authentic engagement! You may use your script when you present, but DO NOT bury your face in it! We want to see YOU  Turn in one copy of the script when you present. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKfAreFgJ9I
