Dear Stacey,
I have waited to write about the materials received until I had used them with my students a little longer. My students find the grammar a lot simpler to follow than that of the textbooks and needless to say. If you can sing it, you will remember it!! My students are having a ball singing, dancing and adapting the techniques to other styles of music. You would HOWL to see them rapping, and singing to odd beats in Spanish. There is nothing like "activity days" to get them going! (Except cooking days, of course...).By the way, the next verse on "La Adelita" is:
Si Adelita se fuera con otro
si Adelita fuera mi mujer
le compraria un vestido de seda
para llevarla a bailar al cuartel.
The last one I believe is:
Y si acaso yo muero en la guerra
y mi cuerpo en la tierra ha de quedar
Adelita por Dios te lo ruego
que por mi no vayas a llorar.
PS. My students think "Adelita" is a rat!!!
Thanks again. (Señora from Pittsburgh, PA)
