I subscribe to the Annenberg Learner newsletter which is always full of information for teaching a wide variety of subjects. In this particular issue, there is a section about El día de los muertos (Day of the Dead). Here is the link to the activities including slideshows in English and Spanish, a teacher guide and more: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/monarch/DiaMuertosTG.html
If you don’t have time to use this lesson this year, then perhaps you can bookmark it for next year.
This is an annual event in my classes, with week-long art projects, food day and lots of fun! It's a great addition to our curriculum, and it's a celebration most students have never heard of. I now have all the staff looking forward to it!
