Description
Students will learn about the people and events that led to the Texas Revolution by reading 3 pages, completing a graphic organizer, and answering 32 questions. They will then read, analyze, and compare and contrast excerpts from letters written by Stephen Austin and General de Cos in 1835.
If time allows, they can label a map, analyze images, complete a timeline, and work with point of view. A teacher information page and the answers are included. This could work for a sub! See the preview for a closer look!
***UPDATED to include an alternate version so you have flexibility with your classes.*** Both versions include the primary source analysis, timeline, and map activity. The information covered is the same in both files, it is just presented differently.
