Independent Cinco de Mayo

There are a lot of great Cinco de Mayo resources out there but here is a little on-line scavenger hunt I created for my Spanish III kids: https://www.quia.com/sh/192165.html

They already learned the basics of Cinco de Mayo in previous years and this year we had our Cinco de Mayo class the day of prom (they actually left right after my class for the day) so we were not going to get anything in-depth done.

Overall they did well working in pairs but I think this would be a good activity to put on a class website for absent students to do on their own as a review of Cinco de Mayo.  I love that it is in the target language; building a supply of authentic materials has been a slow process for me unfortunately.

I did notice that the one question to get the answer they needed to recognize the passive voice.  I have not really taught this concept to them, partially because they are supposed to avoid using it in English, but now I'm wondering if it something that I should work in to the curriculum (they do learn the present progressive this year plus I am moving a vocab unit to level II, so that opens up some room...)
