Texas History Images Analysis

Texas History students will review significant people and events from a semester or year by analyzing 34 maps and images (photos and political cartoons). There are specific questions for 18 images/maps and 5 prompts for students to respond to for 16 images/maps. This can be used to supplement your Texas History tests, final exam, or end of course review. The images are spaced out so that your students can cut them out and create a visual timeline. The answers are included.  

 Sample questions include:
--Identify the overarching event this political cartoon represents and how it affected people in Texas.
--Label the images on this page from 1-4, with one being the earliest and 4 being the latest, as well writing the who/what . Then, write a solid academic explanation of how they are chronologically connected.
--Place this image in between a cause and an effect within Texas History, then, write a historically appropriate, yet creative caption, demonstrating your understanding of the event the political cartoon represents.
--What is represented in these two images and from what time period within Texas History? Why are two different images used to portray a similar event? 

 The topics covered include:
--Exploration, Missions, Colonization/Old 300
--Revolution, Republic, Annexation
--Civil War, Reconstruction, the Frontier, Cattle Ranching
--Challenges, Age of Oil, Mexican Revolution
