Cinco de Mayo Activity with Audio

4/29/2011

0 Comments

 
Cinco de Mayo is a celebration that American students commonly believe commemorates the Mexican independence. This is completely understandable since Cinco de Mayo is more celebrated by the Hispanic community in the United States than September 16th, which is the actual anniversary of Mexican independence. It is important to help students understand the difference between these two days. 

It is quite interesting to realize that Cinco de Mayo is more largely celebrated in the United States than in Mexico, where the festivities occur mainly in the state of Puebla.  According to some sources, this difference can be explained by the fact that the events of the original Cinco de Mayo served as inspiration for the activists in the Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated all over the United States, but it continues to be a day in which Chicanos celebrate their rich ethnic heritage. 

There are two activities ready to use with your students in the "Free Spanish Audio" section of the website, or you can also select the option that best fits your lesson below. Good luck!
