Note: (Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a celebration of life and death. While the holiday originated in Mexico, it is celebrated all over Latin America with colorful calaveras (skulls) and calacas (skeletons). Learn how the Day of the Dead started and the traditions that make it unique). Hola clase, In this discussion, you will view the movie "Coco" (this beautiful movie is about family, music, and a cultural celebration, especially in Mexico) and then
post about what have you learned in this movie. After your initial post, you will read your classmates' posts and compare and contrast your thought with at least 2 classmates by replying to them.

In your initial post, you can talk about your previous view about death.

Why do certain Latin-American cultures see death in this way?

Talk about if your family has ever celebrated the day of the death.

• Have you or your family done/made "un altar de ofrenda"? What was offered/placed on the altar?

If you are not from Latin America, do you have a similar celebration in your culture/country? Please share. :)

In your replies, you may share your personal opinion and experiences about this cultural celebration. You can also share pictures/photos if you have collected any.

I am not looking for a summary of the movie. I already know that. I am looking for your own thoughts, opinions, and experiences. What have you learned from this movie that makes you think differently about the cultural celebration of "The Day of the Dead?"

Can anybody help please
