Description

Texas History students will read and analyze account of the discovery of oil at Spindletop and how the excitement spread to Galveston by answering 12 questions and completing a creative task. The answers are included where appropriate and this would be great for a sub!

 Sample questions include: 
--Re-write “feverish state of excitement” in your own words to demonstrate understanding.
--Why would people in other towns have wanted verification of the rumors?
--How well, or not, did Beaumont handle the discovery of oil? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.
--What would a reason have been for men, “remaining stirred up with it?”
--What would be a reason for people NOT coming to towns that had recently discovered oil, and why?
