Mommy Maestra: Día de los Muertos, Day of the Dead Lesson Plans and Activities Día de los Muertos is quickly approaching, so I thought I would share some of the many fabulous resources that I have discovered over the years. Because this holiday is so popular, there is a growing number of lesson plans, units, and crafts now available on-line. Thematic Units: - By far, one of the best curriculum units has been created by Lori Langer de Ramirez, creator of MisCositas. It is geared for third year (intermediate) Spanish students. This is a comprehensive unit with 63 pages of activities, vocabulary, and more. • AZCentral.com also has a shorter (31 pages) Teacher Packet with a really great bibliography. • Day of the Dead Mini-Unit A simpler lesson plan that includes a short description and example of “Calavera” Poems. • Remembrance Lesson Plan An original lesson to show children how the lives of people can be celebrated by remembering the lives of people that have died. • Lesson Planet has 26 lessons related to Dia de los Muertos that you can scroll through.
