What Buyers Have Said:
~ “Great resource! That’s why I bought the bundle!!”
~ “My students enjoyed this activity.”
~ “Students loved learning about how other countries also celebrate Día de los muertos.”
~ “I appreciate the gathering of material for time saving. Thanks!”
~ “I enjoyed using this resource in my Christian homeschool tutorial class. With a more conservative parent demographic, I wanted to be sensitive when teaching Dia de los Muertos, but I still wanted to include it for a culture lesson. This was the perfect happy medium – getting the students to think about it and hear a variety of opinions on the holiday. Thank you for putting this together! I look forward to using it again this year.”

Description

Three interviews with native speakers in Spanish about the practices of the Day of the Dead in their countries, Mexico, Colombia, and Equatorial Guinea. Students learn the vocabulary associated with that custom and describe the practices orally and in writing. The native speakers talk about El Día de los Muertos and how the tradition does and doesn’t conflict with their Christian beliefs. The speakers speak slowly enough to be understood by Spanish Three – AP. Spanish Two students who have learned the preterite may also understand. Digital versions of the activities are included for distance learning.

All Day of the Dead videos have Spanish subtitles to aid in comprehension. Two videos are interactive with questions at the end that correspond to the questions on the student handout.
