Overview of Texas History, cont'd

Click to enlarge. (This should work with all pics inserted into blog.)
Today, students:
  • Raised questions about anything they didn't understand on the "CHART: Time Periods of Texas History."
  • Learned of some of the abbreviations I often use:
    • c. or ca. = around, approximately
    • e.g. = for example
    • etc. = and so forth
    • i.e., = in order words
  • Noted how color coding can ease & expedite the learning process
  • Identified their 3 favorite time periods on the Chart and circled specific topics they would like to learn more about
  • Studied the yellow section of the chart for a quiz on Monday
    • Did some teacher-based review to check their learning.
    • Devised and asked one another questions about the chart
    • Devised mnemonic devices to help them remember the time periods and details
Assignment: Quiz Monday - CHART: Time Periods of Texas History
  • Learn all of the information in the yellow section of the chart
  • You don't have to recite the dates for this quiz but do be able to recognize which time period each set of dates identifies (e.g., 1519-1821 = Spanish Period; 1861-1865 = Civil War, 1865-1900 = Gilded Age. . .etc.)
