Huellas 1.5 Sirena

What better way to share music in the level 3, level 4, or AP classroom than via a song of the week unit? In addition to being a catchy song, Sirena lets you explore the meaning of "Language" with your students. Must a language be spoken? Is computer coding a language? With so much to discuss, students will get to flex their Spanish skills as they give and defend their opinion on the topic.

The song of the week is Sirena by Cali y el Dandee. I would encourage you to watch the video before you purchase because it has a beautiful message but has about 8 seconds that might not be appropriate in your school context. In this packet, I have offered options for getting around those 8 seconds, but be sure you know what the video is like!

Sirena is unit 5 of the Huellas 1 curriculum. It is also a perfect stand-alone unit.
