section D. Willie Colón, Colgaditos

Colgaditos van, por el mundo Colgaditos van, vagabundos

Hay niños que andan vagando en una ciudad Con cara de sed, con cara de hambre en busca de amor

Hay niños que van mendigando un poco de pan En las avenidas y en las esquinas

¿Por qué será?

¿Será que salieron de hogares abandonados? ¿Será que no tienen a alguien que pueda cuidarlos?

Y por lo tanto sólo les queda sobrevivir Con un futuro no muy seguro para seguir

Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh

Hay niños que andan vagando por la ciudad

Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh

Hay niños que veo vagando, ¿por qué será?

Hay niños que nunca salen del hospital

Por consecuencia de las aventuras de mamá y papá Hay niños que se la juegan

Y es la verdad

Limpiando zapatos, robando carteras, ¿por qué será? ¿Será que salieron de lugares olvidados?

Donde pa’ comer hay que sudar el centavo

themes of a selected salsa song. This can be accompanied by frame-by-frame

descriptions (e.g. written, oral, or audiovisual)

4. Write additional verses to a selected salsa song and present/sing them.

5. Carry out a research project underlining the consumption of U.S. American music

abroad.

6. Create a series of one-act plays or skits based on the general message of the song

presented.

7. Design a music video with content-related images that present the subject matter

through audiovisual material.

8. Write and design a series of articles showcasing a particular salsa group or critiquing

a song and combine the texts in the form of a magazine or newspaper publication.

9. With respect to controversial issues, engage the class in a two-sided debate to

convince a neutral third party.

Note to the instructor: The authentic material (song) chosen for this activity is intended for college students. In designing additional activities, it is important to take into account students’ cognitive level and interests. Información sobre la canción: El cantante de Colgaditos, Willie Colón, es conocido por sus canciones que concientizan al público de problemas sociales. Las mismas tienen como

fin, provocar cambios y soluciones a injusticias. Esta canción trata el tema del sufrimiento del niño a través del mundo.

Appendix C

Song Inventory #1 Gloria Estefan, Mi tierra

De mi tierra bella, de mi tierra santa oigo ese grito de los tambores y los timbales al cumbanchar

y ese pregón que canta un hermano que de su tierra vive lejano

y que el recuerdo le hace llorar una canción que vive entonando de su dolor de su propio llanto

y se le escucha penar.

La tierra te duele, la tierra te da en medio del alma, cuando tú no estás

la tierra te empuja de raíz y cal la tierra suspira si no te ve más...

La tierra donde naciste no la puedes olvidar, porque tiene tus raíces

y lo que dejas atrás.

Siguen los pregones, la melancolía y cada noche junto a la luna

sigue el guajiro entonando el son. y cada calle que va a mi pueblo

tiene un quejido, tiene un lamento tiene nostalgia como su voz.

y esa canción que sigue entonando corre en la sangre y sigue llegando

con más fuerza al corazón...

Tiene un quejido...mi tierra tiene un lamento...mi tierra nunca la olvido...mi tierra

la llevo en mi sentimiento, si señor oigo ese grito...mi tierra

vive el recuerdo...mi tierra corre en mi sangre...mi tierra

La llevo por dentro como no canto de mi tierra bella y santa

sufro ese dolor que hay en su alma aunque estoy lejos yo la siento

y un día regreso yo lo sé.

Puerto Rico

Cuando mis labios pronuncian tu nombre, mi corazón se acelera y siempre espera,

seguirte a ti.

Cuando de niño, yo jugaba en tus calles, que con cariño viven en mí.

Tus lindos montes, tan bellos tus valles, que en esa isla, deseo morir.

Puerto Rico,

nuestra isla de encanto, Frankie Ruiz, con su canto,

quiere hacerte feliz.

Puerto Rico, mi ambición es tenerte, como todo un boricua, en mi pecho tenerte.

Puerto Rico yo me siento latente, pues boricua me hiciste hasta la muerte.

Cuando de niño yo jugaba en tus calles

Que con cariño viven en mí Tus lindos montes, tan bellos tus valles

En esa isla, deseo morir.

Porque boricua me hiciste

y te querré hasta la muerte.

Y siempre seré...

Workshop Objectives

Select appropriate salsa songs (authentic materials) for

Spanish lessons.

Design effective communicative activities based on salsa

songs.

Implement communicative activities more effectively.

Assess student learning outcomes through performance-

based tasks.

Demonstrate basic knowledge of salsa dancing.

Overview of salsa music/dancing as a cultural

product and implications for instruction

Salsa music and dancing are products of Latino American

traditions which in turn have been influenced by African

traditions.

These products are used as a means of enjoyment among salsa

enthusiasts from all over the world. Salsa has become

synonymous with Latino music.

Some salsa lyrics (especially early compositions) express

socio economic and political aspects of the Latino culture.

It is important that students be exposed to cultural

expressions that bring about critical thinking.

Some Guidelines on How to Use Authentic

Materials Effectively (Glisan & Shrum, 2005)

Authentic materials (AM) should target different learning

styles.

AM should be age appropriate and unbiased.

Link AM to a thematic unit and/or curriculum.

AM content should not be manipulated to lower the level of

difficulty. Tasks must be adjusted to students’ level.

Introduce AM with a pre-activity.

Expose students to AM more than once before the central

task is carried out.

Demonstrate the task to the class.

Continuation of Guidelines

For beginners, write task instructions in the students’ target

language.

Choose AM that can integrate different ACTFL standards at

once.
