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 Using the Primary Source Adventures, Texas History teachers can direct their students to primary source historical documents that will dramatically enrich their learning experience.
