Language classes can be a difficult adjustment for students; a key part of making learning about a new culture and language fun is cultural, hands-on projects. The materials listed here will be used for students to learn about Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and ancient Maya civilization. Students will create crafts from different countries that celebrate Dia de los Muertos, such as kites (Guatemala) and papel picado/paper decorations (Mexico). These crafts are used as part of a bulletin board and altar project that educates the entire school on the traditions of Dia de los Muertos. Our school does not have a fine arts class, so their experiences in Spanish I will give students the opportunity to create crafts from clay, paper, wood, and yarn. Students will learn about life for ancient Maya people by learning to weave, making pottery, decorating masks and headdresses, and planting an Aztec-style floating garden.
