El Dia De Los Muertos vs. Halloween



El Dia De Los Muertes (The day of the dead) and Halloween fall within the same few days. I have a few students who understand the traditions of both, and many students who only know about Halloween. For my 8th grade language students over the next few days, my plan is to have them read information about the history of both holidays (taking good notes) so they then can compare and contrast the holidays in a page summary. Here is a brief overview of both holidays and the resources I plan to use.
