The students will have the opportunity to utilize and expand their knowledge about
the language and practice to improve their writing, reading, listening and
comprehension skills. They will become exposed to the culture of Puerto Rico. They
will listen to a PR song and analyze it identifying verbs in present and past tense,
question words, the use of “quizás” as maybe, and other structures present.
E) Activity:
1. To warm up the students, we will talk a little bit about their music preferences and
then have them listen to a song in Spanish:
“¿Qué tengo que hacer?” Daddy Yankee.
2. We will listen to the song one first time, and then a second time in which students
will write down the lyrics. Then we will compare results in class.
3. We will then talk about the history of “reggaetón” and its polemic origin. Panamá
vs. Puerto Rico. ACCESS POWER POINT PRESENTATION: Reggaeton
4. Listen to the song again with its lyrics on the screen to provide a visual aid to the
students and give a hard copy of the lyrics to the students to follow (Find handout
with lyrics below). Video w/ lyrics
5. On the hard copy UNDERLINE VERBS IN THE PAST TENSE, circle verbs in
the present tense. Also identify reflexive verbs (ei. reflejarme). We will talk in
class about verbs and grammar structures (abbreviations pa’=para, common for
islanders to use it/ link to cultural awareness).
6. To wrap up, students will start writing a reflection about the song and/ or its
origins.
7. As homework, students will edit their reflection (two paragraphs) and send it to
me via EMAIL. I will reply with one of your classmates reflection copied. Write a
one paragraph comment and resubmit it to me.
