19.  Mexico's Day of the Dead - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead

You should do research about the festival you were assigned. You may consult the internet www.wikipedia.com or books. After learning about your celebration you should put all important information in a well-organized presentation that will follow the INTRODUCTION - BODY - CONCLUSION format. You will use your own words for your presentation. Repeating like a parrot what's on the net won't lead you to getting 3 points. My “orientation page” will help you organize your material. You should also make a poster with pictures to illustrate your speech. Feel free to ask questions about the ALP in class.

Hope this information is useful,
