>> Some huge hits I’ve had with students include:
>> Sacar la Voz by Ana Tijoux – an MC from Chile, packs a mean punch,
>> powerful lyrics. If you Cloze this song, it makes for a great exercise on
>> subject/adjective agreement..
>> Chicas de hoy by Tatiana – Cheese value! This old track from the 80s
>> could double as background music for a tampon ad. My students couldn’t get
>> enough, and I had them rewrite and perform a verse in groups.
