Overview: The website examines the holiday near Halloween known as Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). It adds new historical information that is expanded upon more than in other sources I found. This information explains the progression of the tradition from the ancient Aztecs era to contemporary times, while also examining the global expansion and adaptation of these cultural practices. This would be helpful to a student of Spanish to more deeply explain how this tradition came to be and how it continues to change over time. There are extensive videos and layers of the site to explore if the student wants to gain further understanding. I would use this site with my future students. Content and Design: The layout of the website does not have a strong eye appeal, however there is an abundance of useful and fun information available. The author is listed, but there is not a way to contact them on this page. The site is fairly easy to access, however the other sections are in a box that is about half way down the page on the side, so easily overlooked. The information is recent, however not updated frequently. There is a large amount of information available here, though the design could be improved.

Overview: This website explores briefly the holiday of Día de los Muertos. Though it is not very attractive to the eye, the information given is very helpful for any Spanish language learner. A student would build or expand their knowledge using the historical, individual traditions, food and candy, and vocabulary necessary for understanding the festivities. The site also leads to other helpful pages such as a recipe for sugar skulls that was the easiest and most realistic I found. This is a fairly good website, that gives the unique insight of the vocabulary; therefore I would use this in my class to expand upon previous knowledge. Content and Design: The design lacks the attention grabber to draw in the audience, however it is not completely boring, and effectively describes and offers unique cultural details to the tradition. The webpage itself works well, and is easily navigated. In the same way other links are useful work efficiently. The information has not been changed since 2004, but since it is giving the general process for the tradition the information still holds true, however there may be better sources for how the culture has transformed in modern time. There is contact information that could be used for further exploration of this theme. The vocabulary is an extremely useful tool in teaching Spanish and Spanish culture, therefore I would say this is a usable website.

Overview: This website provides an in depth incite into the cultural practice of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). People interested in Spanish culture, such as students, would be captured by the pictures of food, alter, decorations, outfits and candy. This site is packed with useful, and at times interactive, information, while also allowing for further exploration to deepen knowledge of this Culture. The site is well organized, culturally accurate, and draws the audience in. This is a source I would use to introduce this tradition to my future students. Content and Design: The altars section has the viewer interact with the altar to understand the cultural significance of each element, though these vary depending on the region or family. The author and sponsor are available to answer questions a person may have, and the information is updated frequently. The information is not too broad, but also not too complex that the reader loses interest, therefore the website is engaging through both the written information and the pictures provided. There is opportunity to look deeper into this holiday if a person so chooses.
