The Portal to Texas History offers
educational resources to enrich students' knowledge of Texas History by
providing exciting materials that correspond to multiple aspects of the
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for teaching Texas History.
Each Primary Source Adventure and My Texas History Notebook lesson
incorporates fascinating materials brought together to spark interest
and get young minds thinking about history in a new way. Students
quickly grasp the difference between reading their textbooks, and
exploring a first-hand account from someone who was actually there as
it happened.
Each Primary Source Adventure includes an
introduction to the materials and links to other learning resources to
help you be prepared. The lesson plan discusses the objectives,
assumptions, materials, anticipatory set, instructional input, guided
practice, and assessment activity for each Primary Source Adventure.
Materials can be shown on audio visual equipment in the classroom, or
dowloaded and printed in either Adobe PDF or MS Word format. Using the
Primary Source Adventures, Texas History teachers can direct their
students to primary source historical documents that will dramatically
enrich their learning experience.
