Title: Spanish Assembly Presentation Ideas
Body: Editor's note: A recent request for assembly presentation ideas on the FLTEACH listserv generated the following suggestion. ----- What about Sensemaya, La Culebra by Guillen? Wonderful sounds and music, then easily dressed up for an assembly program - narrator and chorus, rain sticks and logs beaten, everybody pounding the stage in bare feet, and one or two good dancers doing a turn. I bet your students could choreograph it. And it's a good poem with lots of material available on the Web. http://www.geocities.com/apspanishlit/guillen1.html Stracke, C.

Title: Fiesta Ideas
Body: I set up an internet activity highlighting some popular fiestas in Spain and Mexico. I came up with the idea because we are on "Celebremos", chapter 6, in the Paso a Paso II book, but the activity could be used at any time because it does not correlate specifially with the textbook.

Title: Carole Fredericks Music Legacy Language Program
Body: From: http://www.cdfmusiclegacy.com/program/descript.html Want to introduce your students to the best cultural music videos, an inspiring life story and teach French? Tant Qu'Elle Chante, Elle Vit!: apprendre le français grâce à l'héritage de CAROLE FREDERICKS is an exciting and innovative program designed to engage students at their level of interest - popular music and music videos - and keep them interested in every class. "Music video clips fuel my classwork" says author and teacher of French, Nancy Gadbois. The program is based on the music of Carole Fredericks, an African-American singer who emigrated to France in 1979. Carole rose to the top of the French contemporary music charts as one third of the dynamic rock trio, Fredericks Goldman Jones. Because Carole was a protégée of Jean-Jacques Goldman, he wrote a special tribute about her for the workbook. The 30 minute videotape contains six music videos (Á nos actes manqués, Un deux trois, Né en 17 à Leidenstadt, Respire, Qu'est-ce qui t'amène, Le prix à payer) that are appropriate for all age groups and student levels. No narration. The accompanying workbook features des exercices pédagogiques created by Mme Gadbois and can be adapted to different class levels. The program includes an assortment of activities: song lyrics, vocabulary lists, questions about the videos (factual and analytical), word search puzzles and fill-in-the blank activities. Tant Qu'Elle Chante, Elle Vit! combines culture and language in a fun and interesting format. For more information, visit: http://www.cdfmusiclegacy.com/program/descript.html
