Song of the week: Lupita's Taco Shop

I love using music and music videos to explore Cultural Products, Practices, and Perspectives! And the song "Lupita's Taco Shop" is fantastic for that! It is also a fun song to try to sing. I created a cloze activity and you can access it here (free).

The song is basically a list of Mexican foods and it is not comprehensible for students. So to understand the song, I gave students certain foods from the song to investigate. They had access to edit this blank slideshow (feel free to make a copy) and they had to briefly describe it and put a picture of the food on their designated slide. The slideshow below is the end product. This was a good way for students to see the diversity and richness of Mexican cuisine.
