How is it already Fall Break?
This week started our new era and what will become the first assignments for the second grading period, Revolution and Republic. This week is all about the causes of the Texas Revolution or "The Road to Revolution". Students will learn about the 8 different events that lead up to the war for Texas independence. They also will work on their first project for the grading period, where they create a timeline and summarize each of the events.
As we start to learn about the causes of the Texas Revolution, it's important to acknowledge how much media there is surrounding this war. You can find books, podcasts, movies, and more, all depicting their version of the stories that have made it into our textbooks about Texas winning its independence from Mexico and becoming its own country. I encourage you to start conversations with them as they explore this part of the class.
Topics To Bring Up:
What are some of the reasons Texas wanted to fight for independence from Mexico?
Who do you think is more to blame for the conflicts that arose between Texans and the Mexican government? Why?
What is the difference between a federalist and a centralist government?
Share your conversations, pictures, and more by emailing them to baibrown@dallasisd.org or using Remind. I can't wait to hear about how your students are sharing their learning at home!
