Descripción

In this activity, students will get to know one of the forerunners of the Blues, both as a composer and as a singer. They will observe the colloquial structures derived from some verb forms and will approach the American English of the beginning of the century. In this way, they will learn about the evolution of the language and will approach forms other than strictly academic English. In this case, it is approached through a revolutionary song, as it clearly talks about the concept of lesbianism and female empowerment.   
Basic language units.
