Update: Here is a past tense version of the story.
"Yo no sé" is a song that has been on one of my playlists for a few weeks, but I wasn't sure if I liked it. But then I saw the video, read the lyrics, and thought, "Oh, yes, this will be a hit with students!" My husband also heard it (on repeat) and agreed that it was a good one.
The song is so repetitive and sweet (and appropriate!). So, I wrote up a little story to use with my Spanish 1 students. I also created a basic cloze activity and translated the song. Click here if you would like to use the story or just the cloze activity.
Update 1/25/20: Here is another activity from TeachVid.

EliminarThank you! Such a cute song!
ResponderEliminarYou're welcome! My students really liked it!
EliminarIt is a shame but it seems that the official video has been pulled from Youtube and the link does not work. Any ideas how I could get access? I love using music with my classes.
ResponderEliminarHmmm, I can sill see the video. Are you talking about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQCNLE7rVNc
EliminarKara, this is great! Students of Spanish 1 & 2 will enjoy the song and your story is captivating. Thank you for sharing. I'll try it when we return from the Christmas break.
ResponderEliminarThank you and you're welcome!
Eliminarused this yesterday and today and it was GREAT! Thanks so much!
ResponderEliminarYay! I am so glad it was useful!
EliminarLoved this song and story!! Giving the interpretive reading assessment with the cute text message exchange. Curious to how you grade that assessment? Thanks!
ResponderEliminarGlad to you hear you liked it!
EliminarGood question - I really need a good rubric for that! I can't remember what I used. Please share if you come up with something.
I would probably say (using terms my school uses for rubric):
Exemplary: Understands the entire text exchange. Answers all questions correctly. Is able to infer meaning. (related to the question about *when* the conversation happened)
Proficient: Understands most of the text exchange. Answers almost questions correctly.
Developing: Understands some of the text exchange. Answers some questions correctly.
Beginning: Understands very little of the text exchange. Answers very few questions correctly.
Pretty basic, but might work! Gonna add it to doc.
Hola...love this. Quick question. How were you able to type so fast and add the emojis that fast?
ResponderEliminarThe App, textingstory.com, makes it go that quickly.
