  We have a winner! The La Locura de Marzo activity, otherwise known as March Madness, was a huge success. My IB Spanish 2 classes include quite a few basketball players, as well as music aficionados, so the activity was quite a hit. We included sixteen songs in our Locura de Marzo bracket, which made for stiff competition and heated discussion once we reached el Úlitmo Cuatro or Final Four. These four teams, highlighted below in bold, made it to the tense vote for el Último Cuatro, with our final ganador selected by class vote. March Madness selections: IB Spanish II (Sweet 16)
We had a few broken hearts, but overall a successful round of La Locura de Marzo. I have a feeling I may have to teach a few more of our Úlitmo Cuatro songs before the year ends! If you're interested in teaching the extremely popular Despacito by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, please follow the link here.
