Welcome back to Arkansas PBS Rise and Shine.
I am La Profe Molina and today we are going to learn about important traditions.
It is el Día de la Independencia, Independence Day.
Let's practice some vocabulary to remember.
La antorcha.
Repeat after me.
La antorcha.
The torch.
La vanda de musica.
Repeat one more time.
La vanda de musica.
Music band.
Now, las fiestas patrias.
Las fiestas patrias.
Patriotic holidays.
Now, el grito.
Repeat after me.
El grito.
Shout.
Los fuegos artificiales.
And this is a long one.
Los fuegos artificiales.
Fireworks.
Now that we have gone over some vocabulary, let's talk about el Día de la Independencia.
Falls in September for many of the Spanish speaking countries in the Americas.
Many of the fiestas patrias, patriotic celebrations, are a great display of community parades, rodeos, dance, competition, and special foods.
Mexico celebrates their Independence Day with the Grito de la Independencia.
On the night of September 15, el Presidente of Mexico commemorates el Grito by ringing a bell, proclaiming "¡Que viva Mexico!"
and waving the flag from the balcony above the zocalo.
Crowds gather below to participate in el grito.
Do you remember what el grito means in English?
Si, That's right!
It means to shout.
Fiestas patrias.
Costa Rican schoolchildren dress in colors of their country and dance in a parade.
And el Recorrido de la Antorcha happens in Guatemala.
Runners carry a flaming torch, starting in Guatemala and ending in Costa Rica.
All along the route, uniformed schoolchildren wait expectantly for the torch to pass.
Okay, guys, now it's time for you to solve some cultural comparison questions with me.
The first question is compare the way your town or city celebrates Independence Day with the celebrations in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.
How are those celebrations similar?
Are there any differences?
Right, good job!
Thank you for answering the questions for me.
Now, I want you to tell me how you celebrate Independence Day.
Do you participate in any community events or, maybe, do you have a special tradition?
That is awesome.
Talk about your own traditions.
Thank you for sharing your answers with me.
Don't forget to tell others that today you learned about how some other Spanish speaking countries celebrate Independence Day.
Gracias for learning with me today and as always, wave your country's flag with lots of pride.
See you next time.
Adios, and feliz Día de la Independencia.
Happy Independence Day.
