Day of the Dead
With Halloween approaching, we are going to meet a Mexican tradition full of color and music, the Day of the Dead.
Along with sugar skulls, flower decorations and sand designs, paper banners are a special part of this beautiful celebration. “Papel picado” is the Mexican art of cutting tissue paper to make elaborate banners. This folk art is displayed for all sorts of religious ceremonies as well as personal celebrations, but especially for the Day of the Dead (November 1 and 2). Choose your favourite design from the options above (or design your own!) and prepare your “papel picado” at home. Bring it along to our next class, we’ll get ready for the Day of the Dead “Mexican style”!
Here you can find some information about the origins of Halloween

Get in groups of two to four. Think about a scary story, or a story related to Halloween, or a scene from a scary movie that you like, or you could also invent a story of your own. Complete the same chart with the information about your story. Now think of the dialogues and write them. Afterwards, finish the script: include comments such as the tone of voice and the movements for the actors.
Develop a poster with the basic information of your work: title, genre*, director, starring actors/actresses and their characters, plot, show times/theatre (Friday 29th October, 2ºESO B classroom), critics/awards… Include a picture or a drawing. Don’t forget to include the names of all the members of the team!
Important dates:
- Thursday 22nd October: bring the story to class (the chart should be complete)
- Monday 26th October: bring the dialogues to class
- Friday 29th October: performance time! Perform your scene in class, and hand in the script and the poster.
