As a "civilian" I have always

As a "civilian" I have always been interested to learn more about the "DAY OF THE DEAD" and the cultural connections that this celebration encompasses. As an Educator, the DAY OF THE DEAD - 4 Lesson Module is a great way of not only increases my knowledge base but also of sharing this information with my students.

Thus I used the SHARE MY LESSON resources two ways with my students:

1. I centered my instruction around the entry-point of Halloween and all of it's associated content and background knowledge. I then built upon this "holiday" and infused my lessons with the Hispanic Day of the Dead component.

2. For the classes that could handle it, we used the entry-point of traditional viewpoints of death in comparison to the Mexican / Hispanic idea of a day of celebration (and visitation?) of the dead.

The (semi) recent animated movie -which some of my students have previously viewed- also made this a very popular subject to address - especially with the younger grades (or the older tweens who are still interested in animation (which is most of them).
