Debí tirar más fotos ~ Resources for an AP Unit

Last year, I used Bad Bunny's documentary "Aquí vive gente" in Spanish 3 and it went really well, so I was very excited when his new album came out and some of his songs explored the topic of gentrification and Puerto Rican culture even more!

So, I decided to create a unit for my AP class. The students and I have learned a TON! We are just finishing up this week and it has been a wonderful unit! We have hit all the AP themes and students are making some amazing connections (example: Bad Bunny --> Kendrick Lamar and Jacobo Morales --> Samuel L. Jackson - so cool!).

These are our Essential Questions:

• ¿Por qué es considerada la música de Bad Bunny un acto de resistencia?
• ¿Es la música de Bad Bunny una buena manera de educar, generar conciencia y luchar?
• ¿Qué se puede aprender de la música y otras cosas producidas por Bad Bunny?
• ¿Cuáles son algunos de los desafíos mundiales que enfrenta Puerto Rico?

We delved into all sorts of resources, including:

• This presentation to learn some very basic information about Puerto Rico. There are LOTS of resources linked in there as well (some from another teacher, but I can't remember who - sorry for not crediting!)
• El cortometraje "Debí tirar más fotos" - I highly recommend that students (and teachers) investigate some of the culture in the video BEFORE watching. Here is what I had my students do. Also, this super sweet interaction between Bad Bunny and Jacobo Morales was also helpful to understand the cortometraje better too.
• These two videos that explain the cortometraje: Bad Bunny y la Gentrificación: El Mensaje Oculto de Debí Tirar Más Fotos and  Lo Que No Viste en DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (Short Film) | Análisis Completo. There is also a Canvas Quiz to review the information from the two videos.
• Three songs: Lo que le pasó a Hawaii, Turista (video just came out two days ago - have to skip a part!) and La Mudanza. They are mostly appropriate, but (obviously) use your own discretion! I have mature juniors and seniors and I decided that they value of the songs superseded some inappropriate language. (I only played the end part of La Mudanza once and ended it early.)
• This article: "Lo que le pasó a Hawaii: el significado detrás de la canción de protesta de Bad Bunny" and some questions about it.
• The documentary "Aquí vive gente" (start at 4:00) and these questions about it.

Here is the unit packet (with assessments). I am really looking forward to create for the Representación Visual assessment! 

Also, if you use Canvas, you can find the entire unit in the Commons:

Alternatively, if you just want to teach "Lo que le pasó a Hawaii", pages 6-12 here could be great! 

This is one of my favorite activities to really delve into the meaning of a song!
