Very engaging topic and love the tie-in with Glee. I love that it introduces students to another style of music and the traditions that surround it!

I taught this lesson when I had heritage speakers and they were totally engaged in it since many had heard of las botas picudas before. Next I want to try to incorporate it into my Spanish I clothing unit that is coming up soon!! Such novel cultural points come to light with the help of Master Lesson Creator, Martina Bex!
