Mexican Independence Day
Mexican Independence Day
The following video and Snorkl writing activity are designed to help students understand the true history of the Battle of Puebla and how it evolved into the holiday we know today.
It is important to remember that Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day; that is celebrated on September 16th. Instead, this holiday honors a specific "underdog" victory that eventually became a powerful symbol of Mexican-American pride in the United States.
