History of Halloween, All Saints Day, & Dia de los Muertos

Halloween, All Saints Day and Dia de los Muertos are great examples of the outcome of globalization. 
​
​
Cultural practices spread from one region of the world to another through a process called "diffusion". As people moved from Western Europe (through the Irish) and brought their Celtic traditions with them. And then it morphed and changed over time as they blended with other cultures. ​
Let's learn a little bit about some of the cultural holidays and about the historic roots it has in religion and rituals from Paganism to Christianity in Western Europe. 

Dia de los Muertos Celebration at SAS

CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN THE MEXICAN WAY       - from Ms. Mesa and Ms. Julián
"Happy Halloween, SAS! Do you want to come and celebrate Halloween the Mexican way?

Come join us at the iTheatre to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on November 1 from 3 to 6pm!

All HS students are welcome. There will be food, music, face painting and a costume competition where prizes are up for grabs.


Hope to see you there!"

PSA on Cultural Appropriation:
  • Cultural Appropriate at Halloween: "My Culture is Not a Costume" (TeenVogue)
  • Three Cheers for Cultural Appropriation (NewYorkTimes)
  • Is It OK for a White Kid to Dress Up as Moana for Halloween? And other Cultural Appropriation Questions (USA Today)
  • Chinese Weibo users defend US teen’s cheongsam prom dress as ‘cultural appreciation, not appropriation’ (The Telegraph)

HW: None (as long as you finished the reflection)

We officially begin Unit 2 "Revolutions" next week so no homework until then. Enjoy the weekend!
