Class Work

1. Finish the "transformation" presentations.
2. Did you do this? If not, do it now.
For homework, create a collage that depicts as many things as you can think of one would expect to find in a haunted house. The program or format you use is up to you. Word documents work. PowerPoint is fine. There are other programs out in cyberspace that work as well. Feel free to draw if you have that talent. Post in Canvas or bring the visual to class. This is due on Tuesday. (50 points) We will be sharing these on Tuesday. Have a bit of fun!

3. Do you celebrate Halloween and/or Day of the Dead? Please share memories or plans.

Prepare a 6-7 slide PowerPoint of Halloween OR Day of the Dead.

This article tells a little about both holidays. Read it first.



3. Let's look at the who, what, when, where, why, and how of Halloween. Things you might expect to find: http://www.virtualsalt.com/gothic.htm

If you prefer, pick an element of Halloween such as costumes, pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons, witches, demons, spiders, etc., and create a PowerPoint on one of these and answer the w/w/w/w/w/h of the symbol

4. Let's also look at the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the Day of the Dead.

Google search: Images for Day of the Dead to see pictures. You could pick one element of day of the dead to research and report upon.




Do you celebrate either/both? Please share memories or plans.

Homework:

Dress up for class on Thursday. If you do not what to dress up, design a costume and share a picture with us. Be ready to explain why you selected the outfit. It must relate to Folklore.

Finish your Day of the Dead or Halloween Powerpoint. Post in Canvas. Be ready to share on Thursday. (Space will be ready tonight. Canvas is currently being grumpy! Ummm - Gremlins, perhaps! )
