Día de los muertos proyect- Due on November 5th or before.
B) Dia de los muertos Diorama – Read below for specific instructions & rubric
The rubric is below.Día de Los Muertos Diorama de una OfrendaTo celebrate el Día de Los Muertos, you are going to research a famous person who is no longer living. You will do a “Diorama de una Ofrenda” which will include things that the person liked and did. You may use a box as your display to decorate accordingly, or you may choose to do a power point presentation. Be sure to include at least 5 of the following:
Photos and Statues
The centerpiece is usually a photo of the most recently departed family member or whoever the ofrenda is dedicated to. Photos or statues are also on the altar.
Food and Drink
The deceased's favorite food and drinks are set out. Childrens' foods may be served in smaller portions, are usually milder flavored and include many sweets. Adult foods are spicier and more varied. Although the spirits can not physically eat, they absorb the essence, and once full, they share with the living. The one constant food on the ofrenda is the Bread of the Dead.
Flowers
Flowers symbolize the brevity of life. They are arranged on the ofrenda and may be sprinkled from the gravesite to the home, creating a pathway for the dead. The scent also helps the souls to find their way home. The traditional flower is the cempazuchitl (zempazuchitl), a type of marigold.
Candles
Many candles are added to the ofrenda and are different shapes, sizes and designs.
Incense
Copal incense is used to help spirits find their way to this world.
Favorite Items
Favorite items of the deceased are placed on the ofrenda. Items might include clothing, toys for children, daily use items such as hand towels or other things that are significant.
You will present your Diorama to the class in first person (pretend that you are the person you researched) while explaining your reasons for including specific items in the box or power point. Your written description as well as your oral presentation must all be in Spanish.
You will be graded using the following rubric:Written description of the person and items in the box 60 points .
The written description must be a minimum of 50 words and include the following: 1. ¿Cómo eres físicamente?
2. ¿Qué te gusta? 3. ¿Qué no te gusta? 4. ¿Qué haces in tu tiempo libre? 5. ¿Por qué eres famoso/famosa? O ¿Por qué eres importante?Oral Presentation _20 points .
