This assignment was immensely educating on this culture. I enjoyed it because it gave others the opportunity to learn that the day of the dead is not as depressing as it sounds. Also, it benefited me by understanding my own culture more. I celebrate it every year, but did not take the time to learn about the specifics. I acquired new concepts on this celebration. Before this project, I was unaware of where it originated. Also, Padlet was an effective tool. I like the way you can choose how to format different things. It was an effective way in using creativity.

Cada ano mi mama y yo ponemos un altar para mi abuelo. Mi abuelo vivia en Mexico en un pueblo en Oaxaca. Mi abuelo se murio cuando tenia noventa y seis anos. Su pueblo tenia mucho tereno con rios y animales. El era muy fuerte y le alegraba estar con su familia. El se encargaba de sus vacas y pollos. Mi abuelo vivio una larga vida de esfuerzos a lado de su familia. El nos dio muchos consejos de la vida y eso me va ayudar mucho en el futuro.

This celebration contains many traditions that have been carried on throughout centuries. The most important tradition are the offerings. The offerings are presented on an alter made at home. The offerings include candles, pan de muerto, flowers etc. This is done to commemorate the dead and honor their lives. Without an alter el dia de los muertos is not fully celebrated. Another tradition is that families go to the graves to pray for their loved ones. Families also attend church during this day and have a huge feast with friends.
