    This resource was a nice recap after a more in-depth look at Cinco de Mayo. My students enjoyed the easy layout. Thank you.

  9. Paola Jimenez –

    ¡Hola! The material is great overall. I just wanted to mention that in the Spanish version, the sentence “Los mexicanos ganaron la batalla. Los franceses ganaron la guerra” was a bit confusing for my students regarding who specifically won the Battle of Puebla. Clarifying that point would be very helpful! Thanks so much for sharing this resource.

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      Thanks! Do you think this was a vocabulary issue for them – like they needed an additional footnote to clarify between “battle” and “war”? Feel free to shoot me a Q&A to let me know what you think!
