I've began researching Web 2.0 tools to use in my lesson plans for my project. Using Thinkfinity (A really awesome website that helps you find online activities for appropriate grade levels and subjects) I found a website hosted by the Smithsonian. Part of my lesson plans will require students to look into Mexican/Spanish culture. A very important part of the Mexican culture is Día de Los Muertos (which translates to Day of the Dead). This website does an excellent job in shortly explaining the holiday as well as providing a hands on activity for the kids (creating their own ofrenda-- offering table). Check it out!
