Dia de los muertos, in this project we made masks and sugar skulls to commemorate a passed loved one. The we wrote in English and in spanish about it, we also made a video.

A few years back, my cat Merlin passed away. He was a completely grey cat. He was blind for a few years before his passing. He was an awesome cat and he kept us company. We used to call him the “Blind Ninja” because he would not let our other cats pick on him.

         I chose to do this project on Merlin because there has been only been one human death in my family, and I never met the person. Merlin was the closest death in my lifetime. The death of a pet can be just as powerful as a human death.

        I tried to make the skull resemble Merlin as best as I could. It has gray glitter, to represent Merlin’s identifying physical feature. I attached ears to it so people could tell that it is a cat that my sugar skull represents. And I put a red feather as a tail. the reason I chose red was because when he died, we buried him in our backyard and planted a rose there.

       I feel like día de los muertos is a time when you can just let it all out. And remember the good times. It is a time when you can forget about anything that may be bothering you. It’s a time of letting go.



Estoy un niño en el noveno grado. Estoy alto y flaco. Me gusta andar en patineta. Yo vivo en Philadelphia. Mi gato Merlin, es el gato de mi madrastra Melinda. Yo encontrado con Merlin cuando mi padre encontrada con Melinda. El este un gato amable. El viví en la casa de mi padre y mi madrastra. El este originalmente de la casa de mi madrastra. El tuvo pelo gris. Y el este muy amble y no antipático. Yo aún vivo en la casa de mi padre y mi madrastra. estoy felíz con mi casa.

Q1 BenchMark Dia de los Muertos


The person that passed away was my father. That was a life changing event. That is an event that caused a change in me because i really love my father and losing him was a wake up call for me. It made me realize life is to short and you never know when your last time seeing someone would be. My father means a lot to me because he is an important aspect of my life. He made me who I am today. Losing him made me wanna try harder to achieve my goals because i know he is looking down on me proud and happy for his youngest daughter and for my achievements.Everything i now do is for my dad. Whenever i'm ready to give up i think to myself "no aiesha, you have to keep working hard for dad" or "he is looking down smiling on me".

I personally think that when a girl loses her father or mother her life will never be the same but i think a girl losing her father is more effective than a girl losing her mother because the type of love and attention that girls would receive from the mother wouldn't be the same as the love from their father because i feel as though girls need their father more because they would never experience “the father daughter love”. This event really changed me because it changed my view on life, it changed the way I view myself and others.

It also made me think about the good times i shared with him and all the memories we shared. For example, when i was little we had a chuck e cheese outing. At the time being i was very afraid of chuckee because i don't like people dressed up in costumes up until this day so we were all eating pizza and playing games until chuckie came over and i was so terrified. I hid under the table, but my dad made it clear that whatever happens he will always be there to protect me, he is my protector. qI think about him everyday and the hardest thing was walking across the stage getting my diploma from 8th grade and not seeing his face in the crowd and when i went to my 8th grade dinner dance him not there to see me go like the rest of the crowd hurted me more then anything.

I would do anything to have my dad back in my life to make up for those special moments i had faced, but i know he was with me not physically but mentally. I decided to create my skull about my father because as stated before, my father mean alot to me and he was more than a Dad. He was my protector, my best friend, and anything else I needed him to be.

But now he is my guardian angel.My sugar skull and mask represents my father because I used some of his favorite colors and his favorite things. For example I used the colors he liked and also  colors to represent christmas (the day he passed) and I used car stickers because my dad collected cars and two emojis stickers of two little girls because he has two daughters , me and my older sister the stickers represented things that he love and cherish.

Dia de los Muertos has opened my mind to want to celebrate his life more and reflect on all the good times we shared when he was still here with me and the rest of our family. Even though he isnt here physically , I know he is here with my mentally , and emotionally because he will always be an important aspect of my life and I will always carry him around him around with me. He may be gone be not forgotten.



For this project, we had to reflect on someone that has passed and write a spanish eulogy about that person. I enjoyed this project because I got the chance to make a representation of someone who was so close to me (my father)  and present it. 
At first I wasn't too fond of this project because I thought it would be sad to reflect , but while doing it, it brought out a happy side. It reminded me of all the memories we shared.

Día de los Muertos

Posted by Vernika Barrow in SPANISH 2 - Moran - C on Friday, January 22, 2016 at 8:58 am

For the quater 1 benchmark assignment Día de los Muertos we had to design and then decorate our own sugar skull and mask that reflected one of our passed loved ones. For the mask and skull we were able to use our creativity to decorate them to look like the person or animal as some chose to do animals or to resemble their favorite things. Then to explain our thought behind the decorations. For mine I chose to do my pet cat that passed away a few months ago. Althought my very loved cat's death brought me alot of sadness this assignment made me remeber him in a good way. A link to my assignment is below:

The person that passed away was my great great grandmother her name was Tia Piti. She is very important to us in our family because she is my mom's grandmother. It was at Tia Piti house that Daniel and I said the first time we left the orphanage. She made us feel at home and allowed us to eat as many mangos from her mango tree. She was also was the first person that we experienced death with. Actually when she got sick my mom took Daniell and I back to Bolivia to see her.


I decide to create my school because I wanted to remember and celebrate my grandmother's life.  My sugar skull reflect this person because she was very pretty.

She had 3 kids that were adopted 6 of her own but she loved all of them like they were her own. “Día de los Muertos” is unlike any other holiday because it's not about us it's about remembering someone that was special to us and that we don't have any more. I really am glad to take that time and celebrate this holiday but I have a lot of sadness in my heart talking about her.

Día de los muertos

Posted by Patience Elliott in SPANISH 2 - Moran - C on Friday, January 22, 2016 at 8:50 am

Euology
Día de los muertos was my favorite project so far! This was my favorite because we were able to display our creativeness fully. In this project we were required to decorate a sugar skull and a mask. We then had to explain why we chose to decorate those thing the way we did. We had to write a eulogy in Spanish in remembrance of the person we chose to focus our project on. I chose my Aunt Eunice, even though I did not know her.

Alyssa Straface's Día de los Muertos Project

Posted by Alyssa Straface in SPANISH 2 - Moran - C on Friday, January 22, 2016 at 8:49 am

DayoftheDeadQ1
For this project, we were tasked with creating a sugar skull and mask in memory of a loved one, writing a eulogy in Spanish, and creating a video. I enjoyed this project, and writing about something personal made me more motivated to do my best. I also liked the arts and crafts aspect; I kept my cousin in mind throughout the whole process. It was nice to write something for him, and the project gave me new-found respect for Día de los Muertos.

spanish conversation project
On this project Amaja and I basically recorded ourselves having different conversations in Spanish. We came up with the sentences according to the descriptions of the project. We had to practice our pronunciation of Spanish words before recording.  I enjoyed this project it was fun. I learned a lot.
