-Conquistadors from Spain colonized Mexico when it was largely influenced by the Aztec civilization, killing an estimated 24 million people in under 100 years.
-Missionaries from the Catholic Church expanded throughout Mexico, leading to increased Spanish influence until their control was weakened by Napoleon Bonaparte's occupation of Spain in the early 1800's.
-Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a priest, alongside Vincente Guerrero defected and collaborated in eventually achieving Mexican independence from Spain in 1821.
-Mexico faced turbulent times as it faced the U.S. in the Mexican-American War, resulting in a large loss of land in the mid-1800's.
-Tension continued and the abuse suffered by civilians under their leader Porfíro Díaz led to a 10 year civil war in the early 1900's
-Today, many Mexican civilians struggle as there is little opportunity to expand their wealth and overcome their economic status.

    • Allow them to use a mix of Spanish and English to help them get more comfortable speaking in the classroom.
    • Make sure to model the correct pronunciation of ELLs' names to the class so that all students can say the correct pronunciation.
    • Get to know the student along with their strengths and weaknesses and use this to help them progress in class 
    • Learn about the student's talents! Do they like to dance or draw?
    • Include their culture in the classroom, flags, words, places, and even names or events in assignments.   
    • Doing things like this will...
      • increase their confidence
      • make them feel more comfortable in the class
      • build a foundation for positive relationships with you and their peers.
