Imagine you are a famous Latina songstress and you are to compose a song related to the hardships faced by the indigenous people of El Salvador. The song must fully convey the hardships that the indigenous have faced throughout the years. This type of song is more difficult than those you usually write, so to help you gather your information and ideas, you go through this checklist to ensure that you are doing so efficiently.

What’s your Role: Musician

What’s your Audience: Indigenous people

What’s your Format: Song

What’s your Topic: Hardships

Sample:
In this land full of plenty, we have nothing
We work, and toil, and are slaves to our own land
When will this misery end, oh, when will it?
Our ancestors never wanted this life for us
Controlled by companies, we have nothing
We hunger, we thirst, we live in poverty
When will this misery end, oh, when will it?
Abused and used, our land full of gold and silver is no more
We yearn for freedom, for unity with our land
When will this misery end, oh, when will it?
