Bomba Estereo: Soy Yo

This is an editable activity packet and follow up project to go with the song Soy Yo by the Colombian band Bomba Estéreo. I have uploaded a PDF and Word file for your use. There are 6 activities in total.

Students are first prompted to find (on google or other search engine of your choice) basic information about the band and preview lyrics using a quizlet. I use quizlet but you may choose to do this in a different manner.

Later, students watch the video and complete an interpretive listening activity where they can give their opinions in Spanish by using simple sentence starters. They can do this orally or in writing if you prefer. Students then can listen to the song, and complete different tasks that focus on the structure "soy".

Finally, students write their own poems about themselves using the song and story in the video as inspiration. The poem activity has a graphic organizer, instructions and rubric.

I do this unit around October with my 1A students at the end of a unit that emphasizes personality adjectives. It is the first unit they do after the initial intro unit so their vocabulary is limited. Feel free to have your students add different lines like me gusta/me encanta etc. etc.
