A U.S. Citizenship Quiz for Cinco de Mayo


Cinco de Mayo is a celebration held on May 5. The date commemorates the Mexican Army's surprise victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. In the late 1980's, California schools and cities in California started to celebrate Cinco de Mayo as an expression of our state's Mexican-American heritage. However, some people confuse Cinco de Mayo with Mexico's Independence Day.

Mexico's Independence Day is celebrated on September 16 and is similar to America's Independence Day on July 4th. Cinco de Mayo is closer to our Patriot's Day, which is celebrated in the New England states  during mid-April. Patriot's Day commemorates the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War. For more that 100 years, the city of Boston has celebrated Patriot's Day by hosting the Boston Marathon, the world's largest marathon.

But let's get back to Cinco de Mayo. Today I have selected five topics to showcase Mexican-American heritage: The constitution and the Bill of rights. the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, The Judicial Branch, and Geography and Holidays. I will read the questions, and Mexican-American students from our ESL3 class will read the answers. 

Listen to the podcast, then download the pdf from our website, uscitizenpod.com, and take the quiz:

A core essay traces their impact on the American landscape, followed by the stories of seven signature places commemorating the legacy. A concluding section illustrates how this heritage is preserved today, transcending “bricks and mortar” preservation to include a celebration of collective experience.
Historic Preservation from the Ground Up: The Harada House [PDF 3.9 MB] uses a house in Riverside, California as a case study in how a community can participate in local preservation.

    Happy Pascha! A Citizenship Quiz in Honor of Eastern Orthodox Christian Americans

    updated 5/01/2021; check back for an updated recording



    Happy Pascha! A Citizenship Quiz in Honor of Eastern Orthodox Christian Americans  mp3 | pdf

    I wrote this quiz for several reasons. First, to honor Central/Eastern European-American Heritage. Second, to showcase the diversity in the American Christian community. Third, to celebrate Easter.

    In the past, Western Christians and the Eastern Orthodox have been divided by religion, history, and politics, but as Americans, we are united as one people.

    I would also like to introduce, Branka and Tony, from Canada and the former Yugoslavia. Branka is a longtime colleague who currently leads the Sacramento Adult Education Consortium and just finished her term on the COABE board.  Last year she became a U.S. citizen in 2017.

    Quiz answers:
    1. Colonists came to America for freedom.
    2. Freedom of religion is that you can practice any religion or not practice a religion.
    3. America bought the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803.
    4. The two parts of the US Congress are the Senate and the House of Representatives
    5. Dianne Feinstein is one of the two US senators from the state of California.
    6. Joe Biden is the current President of the United States.
    7. Kamala Harris is the current Vice-President of the United States.
    8. Gavin Newsom is the current Governor of California.
    9. The two major political parties are Democratic and Republican parties.
    10. The President's Cabinet advises the President.
    11. Ro Khanna is the US Representative of San Jose/Milpitas, California.
    12. Two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy are join a civic group and join a community group.
    Also watch these videos from VOA News about Eastern Orthodox Christians:
    EXTRA CREDIT: Listen to a great interview with Vlade Divac!
    • StoryCorps: Vivek and Vlade: From New Arrivals To Kings
      • Former Sacramento Kings center and current general manager Vlade Divac is interviewed by his boss, majority owner Vivek Ranadive, in this StoryCorps segment. They talk a little basketball but mostly focus on their shared experience as immigrants.

        California Adult Education Week and Legislative Day


        uscitizenpod: #AdultEducationMatters YouTube Playlist

         This video is a introduction to the playlist: Adult Education Matters, a series of videos that explores WHY Adult Education is important to individual students and the society at large.

         The next four videos in this series pair CA Legislative Day activities with USCIS questions. Download the quiz pdf: bit.ly/CCAE-citz (updated 2021). Subsequent videos include interview clips from administrators, teachers, and students.

         Adult Education Week is usually celebrated in the second week of April. On Monday and Tuesday, representatives from Adult Schools all over California will go to Sacramento to speak to their state legislators about funding for adult education. This includes money for ESL, Civics, Citizenship, GED, Corrections programs, plus Career Technical Education--all of which are very, very important in the state of California and the other states as well.

         Students and staff, friends and family can participate by writing letters of support to their state legislators or contact them via the CCAE mobile app. Simply tell them about WHY you love your school and how your school has CHANGED your life.

         If you want to learn more facts about Adult Education, go to Educate and Educate (educateandelevate.org), a collaboration between the Coalition on Adult Basic Education and National Council of State Directors of Adult Education.

         Use hashtags #AdultEducationMatters #AdultEd #MoveAheadWithAdultEd #SupportK12AdultEd in your social media posts.  Tell the world why you LOVE your school.
