Ask your student:
- How are 5 de mayo celebrations different in Mexico and the US? (In Mexico, it's a national holiday. Government officials organize speeches and in some places, they reenact the battle. In the US, it's more of a cultural celebration. Different community groups organize parties to celebrate Mexican-American culture. People don't really mention the battle.)
