Unidad de Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead Unit)

Over the past few years, I have used these activities to give students a comprehensive understanding of Día de los Muertos for a mini unit towards the end of October. Students always look forward to this time of year, and have really enjoyed all of these activities, and I hope you do too!
