Dia de los Muertos is celebrated for three days from October 31st to November 2nd to honor deceased relatives. It originated from Aztec traditions and is now celebrated in Mexico and by Mexican communities elsewhere. Key aspects of the celebration include setting up ofrendas (altars) with photos and items belonging to the deceased, decorating graves with marigolds, and making calaveras (sugar skulls).

8. Mini-Reflection
● Google slides can help me to share new digital resources and tools because I am able to
share my work directly with another person through the link that is associated with my
work. I can use google slides in the future with my students and I can put in a lot of helpful
resources for them to use along the course if they are struggling. There are a lot of
benefits to using google slides and it is really helpful for students as well because they are
able to work on projects and assignments from any computer.They can also work with
other people at the same time without physically being with the other person.
