Critical Media Analysis, Literary Devices and Conjunctions + Subjunctive/Indicative: Teacher Swap Shop Lesson, 3-Secondary
Program Summary
In this unit students apply a critical media analysis of the hip hop song Latinoamérica by Calle 13 including artists’ representation of identity through literary devices personification, metaphor and intertextuality. Students shift attention between meaning and form (conjunctions + subjunctive or indicative) through noticing, awareness and practice tasks (Lyster, 2007). Using the critical media analysis template, students then conduct an analysis of a Spanish language song and video of choice. This unit is adaptable for language arts or social studies curriculum, though it was originally designed for a 10th grade blended class of 1-way immersion and heritage Spanish speakers studying a U of MN Span1003 curriculum.
