Spanish Cultural Unit Plan - Language through Music: Latinoamerica by Calle13
The idea of Language Through Music is to learn Spanish by looking at modern popular hits from the Latin American music world. Songs are chosen following a specific criteria. They will generally cover topics of historical/social/political interest tackling issues affecting modern Latin American society, thereby creating opportunity for discussion and practice of oral skills. Furthermore it this gives the teacher the possibility interlink a wider range of activities within the same lesson/set of lesson. Some songs may be chosen due to a particularly interesting use of language and/or presence of particular expressions that are worth looking at in detail. Due to copyright reasons I cannot include the original audio file with the material, however all of the songs will be widely available on the net/Youtube/iTunes and I will provide a working link.
The use of realia such modern songs in the learning process will give the student more of a feel of real-world application of his language skills as well as an enriching cultural experience in itself.
In depth analysis of the song LATINOAMERICA” by Calle 13 feat. Toto La Momposina, Maria Rita & Susana Baca
This song indirectly touches the topic of American Imperialism and its impact on Latin America, through the masterful use of metaphors and symbologies related to Latin American identity.
Includes:
- Full Lyrics text of the song
- Comprehension & Analysis questions
- Further exercise focusing on the interpretation of the metaphors used
- Reading comprehension text on American Imperialism and Latin America
- A Mind map outlining important points for a class discussion on the topic.
This is advanced level material
Youtube link to the song:

ANSWER SHEET is not included because many questions are discussion based however if you require answer guidelines I will be happy to provide you with a free copy.

Within each text there will often be at least one vocabulary term, or specific use of language, which the students will most likely be unfamiliar with. For the texts containing such terms, there will always be one comprehension question challenging the students’ understanding of its meaning and use.
To consolidate new vocabulary there is an additional Vocabulary Skills section following the comprehension activities. In this section you will find: exercises, word-searches, crosswords, magic squares and more… These worksheets focus on the “trickier” vocabulary terms from the short stories section.

Sequencing|Cause & Effect: Passages with Activities (ESL)
Level: Pre-Intermediate - Intermediate
This Illustrated Reading Passages & Activities packet is a creative and engaging way for ESL learners to work and develop comprehension and fluency skills as well as building self-confidence.
The packet contains a collection of passages and texts of varying length, both FICTION and NON-FICTION. Each text comes with a set of activities for students to practice sequencing as well as identifying cause and effect.
The passages are color-coded: BLUE ones focus on sequencing and RED ones on cause & effect.

Additionally there is a Powerpoint presentation with lots of practical examples relating to Cause & Effect. This is a great introductory activity which can be done as a class discussion to ensure everyone has grasped the concepts before applying them to the reading passages.
Not all Non-Fiction passages include a given title but here is a list of the Fiction passages and texts included:

MAIN IDEA & SUMMARIZING: Reading Passages with Writing Activities
MAIN IDEA & SUMMARIZING: Reading Passages with Writing Activities
(ESL/EAL/ELA)
This 1st part of this pack focuses on summarizing Non-fiction texts. Students will have to identify the main ideas, and summarize an informational text as a whole. There is a set of questions for each non-fiction piece, which will lead learners into identifying the aspects of the text, which are essential to writing a good summary.
Repeated use of this leading set of questions will naturally allow learners to develop an efficient strategy to approach informational texts, when summarizing.
One of the most frequent questions will involve choosing a name for the passage in question. This is a fun and creative way of identifying the Main Idea.
The 2nd part is more focused on Fiction and Creative Writing skills. There is a set of picture prompts with beautiful images that will certainly spark young writers’ imagination. For each picture prompt there is a set of leading questions which will help learners develop a mental structure when creating their stories.
There is also a set of story starters, where the learner is given an illustration and a starting sentence and then has to complete the story. I included this sub-section at the end as it doesn’t have a set structure as for the previous section.
The idea is that once learners have practiced with the leading questions, can then attempt a less restrained writing activity to test the techniques learnt. This sub-section can also be used for in Mixed Ability classrooms to provide Differentiated Activities for the more confident students.
Included:
27 Non-Fiction Passages with Questions and Activities
11 Picture Prompt Guided Writing Activities
8 “Complete the Story” Creative Writing Activities
The entire resource is aligned with the Common Core State Standards and is also available on Google Slides. Inside the zip folder, along with the main product, you will find a pdf document with the Google Slide Access Link.
