Over the weekend, I found this touching video about Día de los Muertos. You could do a MovieTalk with this video; however, I decided to make an embedded reading about the video first. I try to use volleyball translation judiciously, but I would start with that. During the next reading, I will have students illustrate a few scenes especially with some of the imagery with the skeletons. If you can find it, I like sharing pan de muerto with my students that day.
I have also found some interesting authentic resources for Día de los Muertos. Here is a collection of 3,500 recipes for the holiday. This is a video about sugar skulls. Also, here is an infographic with a description of the ofrenda. Hopefully, these will help you as you plan for the upcoming holiday!
