This a biography about the musical legend Carlos Santana. It discusses racism, learning a second language, and his journey to discovering which instrument was right for him. I know him from the song “Maria Maria“. He plays the guitar so beautifully. I enjoyed learning about him. I would use this book as a read aloud with a Spanish speaking student doing those parts justice. A great pick for Hispanic Heritage Month. #ucflae3414sp20

ShardaeP ESOL: Provide contextual support through audio, visual, models, demonstrations, body language, and facial expressions (can let the students hear some of his songs, how amazingly he plays the guitar)
UDL: 3.1 Activate or supply background knowledge (give a mini introduction before reading the book and playing Carlos Santana's songs)

DrSpalding Beautiful post about an excellent biography. Check out English learner strategy 28. Wouldn‘t it be wonderful to meet your English learner strategy by showing a video of Carlos Santana playing the guitar? 4y

When Angels Sing by Michael Mahon, 2018. Robert F. Sibert medal Book. I really enjoyed this picture book because it incorporates Spanish words and phrases. This book is an opportunity for active learningX this picture book does a great job in depicting the artists roots and life growing up.
