Students will develop background knowledge on the Day of the Dead. You and your group members have been learning about Dia De Los Muertos in Spanish class. You were asked to make an alter representing a person you would like to honor after they have passed. It may be a family member, a friend, a celebrity, a pet, or someone you knew of.

Prompt:Prompt: Write an autobiographical narrative in which you recall an event in your life that shaped one particular characteristic of your identity. Be as descriptive as possible in describing your significant event. After you describe your event, reflect on how you think this characteristic will shape your high school experience in at least 3 different ways and why. (A more detailed prompt is the Autobiographical Narrative Essay handout, Handout #4 from class.)
