Journal entries

Protocols:

Journal entries should average 250 words each (more is fine; it will be difficult to make substantive reflections in much less than this).
Clearly label (number your journal entry)
Your entries will be kept private and are meant to help you deepen your understanding of the course concepts and also help you generate ideas for your final project.
Make sure to proofread and revise your posts. Even though these entries are personal, it is still expected that you produce college-level writing.

While the Latin American holiday el Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) can trace its origins to Pre-Columbian traditions, through transculturation of indigenous and European customs it has evolved into a unique festival of death and remembrance. Not to be confused with Halloween, the Day of the Dead consists of specific rituals and customs that take place annually from October 31 to November 2. Skeleton and skull motifs that dominate Day of the Dead decorations have been heavily influenced by the Mexican visual arts of the early 20th century like those of Jose Guadalupe Posada, Diego Rivera, and Frida Kahlo.
