Summary
Table of Contents

This animated short highlights the holiday and tradition of Day of the Dead in Mexico. It can be used as a movietalk (http://teachingcomprehensibly.com/movietalk/) classroom activity using strategies of comprehensible input, specifically the idea of circling to gauge comprehension (https://comprehensibleclassroom.com/teacher-training/essential-strategies-for-tprsci-teachers/how-to-circle/). The activities that could follow could be changed to match the level being taught. In lower levels, having a discussion in English would be appropriate. In higher levels, asking deeper questions about how students honor their own loved ones and what their own beliefs about the holiday and tradition are could be a thought provoking prompts.

Learning Goals
