Homework: May 4th

Hello All,

Today we discussed The Reaping and how Katniss, from the moment she volunteered for her sister, became a hero for all the districts throughout Panem.  Tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo, which many people believe is to celebrate Mexico's independence.

For Homework: Use the following site to research Cinco de Mayo.

Level 1:  What does Cinco de Mayo celebrate?  Where do people celebrate Cince de Mayo?

 "Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army of 4,500 men’s victory over the 6,500 French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.   In Mexico it is not celebrated nationally but only in Puebla."

Level 2:  When was the Battle of Puebla?  Why do people celebrate Cinco de Mayo?

Level 3: When did Mexico gain its independence from Spain?  How many years later was the Battle of Puebla?  Why do people celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
