This week we celebrate Day of the Dead 2016! Each year I post a few resources about the holiday so here are some great ones for this year!
This gif describes the significance of different levels of an altar in Spanish.
This was not shot in Mexico, but it inspired Mexico City to host for the first time ever a parade similar to it!

Create a blog post on your Spanish blog and include at least 2 of the following
- A summary in your own words what Day of the Dead celebrates, where is it celebrated, and how it is celebrated.
- Who would you honor on Day of the Dead? What would you put on an altar for this person? What is their favorite food? Passtime? Include a photo of this person and explain why they are important to you.
- How do you remember friends and family that are no longer living?
- Include images that you have found of Day of the Dead and explain what is happening.
- Include a video that explains/shows something about Day of the Dead and summarize the video in your own words.
- Compare Day of the Dead and Halloween. How are they similar? How are they different?
