I did a simple presentation about the Mexican Day of the Dead and explained the origins of the celebration using the ppt. Afterwards, I split the class into 4 groups and had them figure out the significance of every different article used on the altar (word doc). They were first asked to circle cogn More…ates and then had to figure out the English and report back to the class. From the pdf file I used to comparisons worksheet (Halloween vs D.D) and had them jot down new information as I delivered the presentation at first, and then when their peers reported back on their assigned altar articles.
