It's learning through songs in Spanish III Honors class!

"Music has the power to move mountains, it is an universal vehicle which lends itself as a most effective learning tool. Whenever possible, there is easy of instruction, and an effortless way to teach complex grammatical structures and messages embedded with culture and traditions."

Thats why Ms. Rocío Horzepa often brings her guitar to her classes, and teaches popular songs to tell a story, to teach powerful literature from Hispanic masters: Martí, Neruda… and often to enlighten consciousness about the environment or social justice. In essence, the students interpret the words, look up to mini clips on YouTube, sing, and even move their arms and body to recall what they just captured. That's a great way of learning Spanish, and the teacher reaches purposeful objectives...
This time, the song was María Isabel; easy, catchy and fun. Before you knew it, in after just one period of instruction, the students learned the lyrics using movement, internalizing new terms. The rest was magic, nothing else but pure joy.
