- Students took their slips of events from Texas history and placed them on a timeline in the classroom. They then discussed orally several analytical questions, including why the timeline maker stopped Texas history around the year 1900.
- We went downstairs to the bulletin board, "Let's Do
n'tMess with Texas" and worked the simple chronological order problem based on the same timeline they'd just used in the room.
- They also looked over the bulletin board, asked a few analytical questions (including why the map of Texas and state seal were turned upside down), and wrote and taped additional captions onto pictures of their choice. A sampling:
Students:
- Read together and briefly discussed the yellow portion of the chart; this section gives a brief summary of each major time period of Texas history.
- Read silently the rest of the chart, including text and pictures.
- Made one check mark beside each item they had put in their personal list two days ago and two checks beside any other items that had appeared in classmates' lists
Assignment: Students should read back over the entire chart by tomorrow, in preparation for various learning activities.
