The attached article may be used as an elementary introduction to the holiday. Our constructed response to be used with this article is:

As a result of researching Latin American culture, using the Scholastic Action article "Day of the Dead, write two paragraphs comparing and contrasting the Day of the Dead holiday with the American version of Halloween.
