Students were broken up into research groups and given a topic on the Day of the Dead to research further in depth. Students presented their research on google slides to their classes.
Groups were divided as follows:
1. History and Background Information
2. Traditions and Activities
3. Ofrendas/Alters
4. Arts, Crafts & Decorations
5. Food & Drink
6. How Other Countries Honor the Deceased.
Groups were given questions to guide their research online. Students were assessed on credible sources, accuracy and organization of information and speaking and listening skills. Below are links to access PDF files of 8th grade presentations.
