Descubre el Día de Muertos on Video

New Episode in the Van y vienen Series. Specifically Made for Mexican Television—Native for Native!

Join Karen and Iván as they participate in the first annual CDMX Mexico City's 2016 Día de Muertos parade as the streets come alive with color, spectacular costumes, masks, floats, and flowers. Delve into myths, rituals, and legends like la Llorona on an evening cruise in a trajinera through Xochimilco canals. Visit a traditional market before making pan de muerto and calaveras de azúcar in Ocotepec, Morelos. Walk the streets and experience the extravagant altares built to honor local loved ones, and meet the people who created them. Karen and Iván invite us to discover the culture and traditions surrounding the Day of the Dead in their homeland of Mexico. They inspire us to understand the holiday’s history and embrace the importance it continues to hold for those honoring loved ones who have passed on. Truly an unforgettable experience!

Mas o Menos but not that great

Video was more cutesy than informative. My students were immediately bored within 10 minutes of the back and forth between the hosts. I had to turn it off and continue the lesson with an old PowerPoint I had, that provided more information, culture and history of the celebration. We really need a better video that succinctly explains the Dia de Muertos without all of the personal and silly comments.

Staff's Response: Thanks for the feedback! The Moo Las posadas: Christmas in Mexico video (1V1570) might be a better fit for you and your students. Thank you for sharing the thoughts. We appreciate your taking the time to give us your review.

Van y Vienen Dia De los Muertos

Jul 29, 2018 | By E ZUNIGA

The older video about Dia De los Muertos by Teacher's Discovery is much more interesting, fun and a delight to watch. While "Van y Vienen Dia de los Muertos" makes an attempt to provide viewers with a more modern, colorful and interesting video than the one by Derrick and his nice friend from Mexico, they do not succeed. As a teacher, I observed my students' reactions while watching the video... they became interested in the first couple of minutes, but then the acting of the presenters becomes redundant and falls in the "everyday small talk" we might experience on any day. Bottom line, they lost their interest after minute 3, I had to stop the video, use one of my PPT presentations and then come back with Van y Vienen the next class. I am keeping the Van y Vienen because I paid for it and it was my mistake not to see it was just a 19 min video for the price I paid... so I am stuck with it, but from a teacher's perspective, it would be much nicer and interesting to have the same presenters focus on the important aspects of Dia de los Muertos and the tradition in Mexico rather than on themselves or the make up they put on their faces. Dia de los Muertos is much more than face painting.

Staff's Response: We appreciate you sharing your observation of the new video. This version of the Dia de los Muertos was filmed for Canal Once, a public television station in Mexico City, and is an authentic experience of the holiday. Our goal is to offer an authentic resource for those teachers who have requested it, while continuing to provide the option of the original Teacher's Discovery video for teachers like you, who prefer that approach. We are delighted to hear that you have enjoyed the original video and we hope that you continue to use it in your classroom. There will be a revised activity packet available this fall. Please remember, we offer a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee! You can return any product at any time if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
