This webquest is perfect for introducing students to popular music in the Latino culture. It can be used with any level of language student as it has a cultural focus rather than being strictly focused on the target language. It also makes a great sub plan if students have internet access or if your classroom has 1:1 devices. In this webquest, students begin by finding out the top 10 latin songs for the current week, recording the information they find, and responding to some simple questions. Next, they choose three of the top 10 artists and give some basic biographical information (name, origin, age, musical style) about each one in Spanish. Finally, students delve deeper into these three artists by finding information about their current tour, ticket prices, and cities they will be visiting. This webquest raises student awareness of the increased role of Spanish language music in our own culture and country.
