Core Instruction

Resources: Voc. and Gram. Transparencies:Map 12Focus: Reading about Dolores Hidalgo;building background knowledge to preparefor the VideomisterioSuggestions: Before reading the intro-ductory paragraph, have students findDolores Hidalgo on the map. Remind themthat many urban areas were built near abody of water to facilitate transportationand commerce. Point out that becauseDolores Hidalgo is not near water, itprobably would not have become such aprominent city were it not for its historicalsignificance.After students have read the first paragraph,have a volunteer discuss how the city got itsname. Ask students to brainstorm notablequotations from the history of the UnitedStates. Encourage them to consult theirhistory books or a teacher to find out moreabout famous statements made during thecolonies’ struggle to gain independencefrom British rule.Point out that both the garden and themonument in Dolores Hidalgo honorindependence. Remind students that acountry often celebrates the date thatindependence was declared, and notnecessarily the date on which a war waswon. For example, Mexicans celebrateIndependence Day on September 16because this is the date in 1810 whenMiguel Hidalgo made the declaration“¡Viva México!” Their war forindependence lasted until 1821. Likewise,the Americans signed the Declaration ofIndependence in 1776, but theRevolutionary War did not end until 1783.Have students list reasons why Mexico’sindependence from Spain was soimportant to them. Encourage students toconsider the parallels between Mexicanindependence and the colonies’independence from Great Britain in theAmerican War for Independence. Point outthat historically colonists were not treatedas equals by their imperial rulers.

Advanced Learners Have students use the Internet to research oneof the monuments or places in Dolores Hidalgothat honors Mexican independence. Encouragethem to prepare a brief presentation about theplace that they chose. Have them includeinformation about what happened there, whatis located there, and when it was built.

Heritage Language LearnersIf appropriate, students may want to researchthe independence of their heritage country.Have them prepare a report to tell when theircountry declared independence, key events ofthe struggle for independence, notable peopleinvolved, and names of important places.
