Reading & expanding your vocabulary

Day of the dead

Reading

Read the text about the Day of the Dead I have just handed out.

Underline the words you don't know yet or give them a nice colour.

Assignment

On the next slides you will find a lot of extra information about the day of the dead. There are 2 options.

Option A: If you think English is difficult

1. Read through the information on every slide.

2. Note down all the words you don't know the meaning of yet.

3. Look up the meaning of the words in an (online) dictionary.

4. Note these down too.

5. Type down at least 10 of the new words you have learnt or take a picture of your list & upload this at slide 31.

Option B: If you think English is easy

1. Read through the information on every slide.

2. If you have read all the information, come and collect a paper Day of the Dead fact sheet to fill out and check your knowledge. 

3. Prepare a short presentation based on the Day of the Dead fact sheet. You may practise your presentation in small groups. I might ask your group to do your presentation in front of the class if that's OK with you.

Example assignment A:
