- How would you describe The Land of the Dead? What sorts of colors were there? Was it a scary place? Why did some people keep disappearing?
- Would you describe Coco as a happy or sad film, or do with think it was a bit of both? Why?
- Draw a picture, write a song, or create a short story or poem to acknowledge somebody in your family or someone else close to you.
