TitleDay of the Dead Ideas and Resources
Body
Here are some resources and ideas for Day of the Dead activities:

An FLTEACH user suggests going to the Willy Wonka candy site at http://www.wonka.com/wonkafactory/shome.htm?section=dod , where visitors can watch a video about the Day of the Dead and read background information. Visitors can also build a virtual altar, and people in the Los Angeles area can also enter an in-person altar-building contest.

Another FLTEACH user recommends the AZ Central website at http://www.azcentral.com/ent/dead . Visitors to this website, which is available in Spanish or English, can read about the history of this celebration and access patterns for projects such as papel picado.

Another FLTEACH user points out that supplementary readings about the Day of the Dead are available for download in English and Spanish from the Hearst Museum at Berkeley at http://hearstmuseum.berkeley.edu/exhibitions/mexico2/supp.html .

For more activity ideas, search the FLTEACH archives for (Day of the Dead) or (Día de los muertos) at http://listserv.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=flteach .
