Hoy, nosotros vamos a traducir la canción Soy Guapo. Ustedes will break up into cuatro grupos, y cada (every) grupo will have a few partes to work on.
Con su grupo, escuchan la canción primero aquí. (Listen to the song first). Pay particular attention to su parte de la canción.
Then, miran la canción de nuevo (watch the song again) while reading las letras (the lyrics).
Finalmente, trabaja (work) con su grupo en tres cosas:
1) Traducen (translate) su parte de la canción al inglés. Ustedes may want to use este diccionario for palabras that Ustedes don't know. Cuidado (careful) con el diccionario. It will show Ustedes multiple meanings, y Ustedes will have to figure out which meaning makes the most sense based on la canción and what is happening en el video.
2) Have una persona de su grupo post su traducción (translation) como un comentario. ¡Make sure to include los nombres de las personas en el grupo!
3) Cambian (change) su parte de la canción that is in italics to talk about yourselves as a grupo, as if ustedes were singing esta canción about yourselves. Keep in mind that, if ustedes son chicas, ¡ustedes may need to change algunas palabras! Yo will ask su grupo to come up and present esta parte de la canción como más práctica con el verbo ser.
4) If Ustedes terminan (finish) before nosotros are ready to present, make sure su grupo has completed the survey about países. Ustedes may also want to check out previous blog posts...
"Soy Guapo" por Señor Wooly
1. Me llamo Victor

Con tu pelo carnoso y ojos pequeños
Pobre amigo, tú no eres alto
No hay mujeres a tu lado

2.Sometimes I think I'm too handsome
ReplyDeleteyes it is true
too handsome
He's handsome
He's very, very handsome
I have green eyes and brown hair
You are not handsome you are ugly
with your fleshy hair and small eyes
Poor friend, you are not tall
There are no women at you side

Remember, por favor, not to use your last names! I took off Ester, Sydney, and DJ's translation for that reason, so here it is:
ReplyDelete1. My name is Victor

I am very very very very very handsome
I am tall, I am thin
Women are by my side
Oh, Victor, so handsome!
I am handsome
I am very very handsome

Angelo, Thomas, y Bronson's traduccion didn't post, so here's what they worked on:
3. I don’t need to read
To go to the movies with a woman
I don’t need to work
At home, I don’t need to help
Oh no, how ugly!
You wear glasses
Oh no, how ugly!
You have glasses
Handsome, very handsome
I am very very very very very handsome

Hola, Maria! Glad you came to check out this page! The extra credit that I offered was just for the 7th and 8th graders after they did this activity, but there are other extra credit activities that you can do elsewhere on the blog (see the Nuestra Herencia post, a few posts before this one). Hope this helps!
