• A little background about Carnaval
• Carnival, or Carnaval, is a festive season, which occurs immediately before Lent. 
• It typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party.  
• It’s traditionally held in areas with a large Catholic population.
• Traditionally during Lent, the six weeks directly before Easter, no parties or other celebrations were held, and people refrained from eating rich foods, such as meat, dairy, fats and sugar. 
• In the days before Lent, all rich food and drink had to be disposed of, so people threw a big party with the whole community to finish all of it. 
• This is thought to be the origin of Carnival!  
• The exact origin of the name "Carnival" is disputed, but some state that the word comes from the Late Latin expression “carne vale”, which means "farewell to meat."
• ¡Comemos y miramos los videos!
• Here are some of the videos that we watched!!
• Carnaval in Uruguay Lookin’ forward
• Carnaval in Latin America
  National Geographic; Inside Rio Carnaval
• Carnaval clip from the movie RIO
• Rio: bird & animal dance scene
