La agenda de martes, el 3 de noviembre

¡Hola hola, class!  Happy Tuesday!  Here is our presentation that we used in class today!  (¡Usamos esta presentación hoy!)

  • Calentamiento
    • ¡Saquen ustedes su TAREA y un LÁPIZ, por favor!
    • Please take out your old HOMEWORK (to turn in!) and a PENCIL!
    • Then, write your name on the top of the Venn Diagram sheet that you picked up at the door. 
      • In the circle on the RIGHT, write what you know about Halloween!
  • Overview of the Day of the Dead
    • Notice:  When is it celebrated?
    • How is it celebrated?
    • What are the main symbols?
    • Do people dress up?
    • Is it creepy/scary?
  • ¡FIESTA!! - El Día de los Muertos!
    • El día de los muertos is celebrated on November 1 and 2
      • People don't wear costumes, because they're not trying to be scary
    • Instead, the skulls are made of sugar -- they represent the sweetness of the memories of our dearly departed loved ones and ancestors
      • May people go to the graves of their ancestors, bring candles and flowers (especially marigolds), and celebrate with the foods and drinks that their loved ones used to enjoy.
    • It's much more a celebration and rememberance of the dead than something scary.
      • And, despite the name, Día de los muertos is definitely NOT a party about or to celebrate death itself.
    • Check out the links and the visual symbols of Día de los Muertos here!
    • AND, to finish watching The Book of Life, the link is here!!
LA TAREA (written in your SAM) -- Please fill in the blank vocab sheet and DO PROOF YOU STUDIED for next time I see you -- 11/18/15, using the printed out vocab sheet!
