The idea of using the video for the song SOY YO by Bomba Estéro has been commented on by other people with blogs sharing resources. I used it with my Year 7 to add a bit of variety to our lessons and to give them some cultural input. We watched the video first WITHOUT the sound and we tried to describe what was happening. This was obviously very much led by me and they were agreeing or not with what I was saying (thumbs up / down). They had been introduced to the verb SER already, so we were trying to describe the personality of people we saw. We then looked at the written description and picked that apart before watching the video again. With older students you might then take a look at the lyrics, but this would have been a step too far for my lot.
