Students in Profe McQueen's Spanish 1 classes are participating in a music video unit this week -- "Encerrada en la escuela" ("Locked in the School"). Students viewed screenshots from the video and made predictions by matching the images to possible captions written in Spanish. Lots of great discussion and critical thinking taking place! #tongienation #usd464
