Texas History Syllabus
Texas History Syllabus
Our curriculum for Texas History generally runs chronologically, starting with the Native Peoples of our area and running through the mid-late 1900s. We will also cover basic geography of our state, as well as spending time in political systems, not only as they relate to Texas, but also as a foundation for US History next year.
The reason I have always found history so fascinating is the stories- the cause and effect relationships that got us from where our ancestors were (20 years ago, or 200 years ago) to where we are today. My goal as a Social Studies teacher has always been to relate that story in a way that names and dates and all of the other details are remembered not as the story, but as part of the story of how we got here!
