Students are forming groups and will work together to make a Day of the Dead altar. The altar will be displayed at school. I have had guest speakers to talk about this cultural and religious celebration. I have attached a PPP provided by one of my guest speakers. In addition I have attached the handout that needs to be completed and turned in along with the altar. For your altar, please include a card giving information about your loved one. REMINDER YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO Powerpoint for your project.
