Rio Grande Valley Civil War Trail — 56 Standards-Aligned Lesson Plans

Description

The Rio Grande Civil War Trail showcases an important part of South Texas history. The lessons in this book are aligned to objectives in the Social Studies Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for both elementary and secondary schools. Although the lessons may be easily adapted to other grade levels, the primary focus is on 4th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, and Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. History. It is our hope that these lessons and activities will create opportunities for the study of local history in a way that will transform the local community into a laboratory for learning. It is also our hope that as students engage in these lessons and activities, they will become better prepared for state standardized tests and overall academic achievement.
