This worked amazing with my older kids, again the information is accurate and I’m happy that I don’t have fact check everything.

I enjoyed this lesson and so did my students. Many were familiar with them, not by name but the concept, thanks to the movie. I followed this up with a really cool "quiz" from a different TPT store, that helped the students find out what their alebrije would be.

I loved this resource because I have tons of material on Dia de los muertos, but not a lot about the cultural product of alebrijes. This allows me to discuss a new aspect of the traditions of a famous and yet often stereotyped holiday in Spanish-speaking countries. Very well made and engaging.

Exploring cultural products and practices in the target language is the best approach to a cultural unit. Thank you for facilitating that!

I am using this as a jump-off activity to have students narrate a story about a prehistoric fantasy creature in the past tense.
