Happy Independence Day, Mexico!

Happy Independence Day, Mexico!

To learn about Mexican culture, students read a short article about Mexico Independence Day. They read what happened at dawn on September 16th, 1810 in the Mexican town of Dolores. They read about the leader of the movement, Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. After reading about Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, students got together in small groups and answered some questions, such as what did Father Hildago do for the people of Mexico. Other students learned about the Mexican flag and colored it in on a worksheet.
