Quiz Feedback - Video on Empresarios/Causes of TxRev - Debate Prep


Students today:

  • Got back their graded quizzes on the Ch. 8 Summary: Growing Tensions Lead to the Texas Revolution
  • Watched, analyzed, and evaluated Gone to Texas, an online video on Mexican Texas: the empresarios & the causes of the Texas Revolution
  • Read and highlighted a 2-page outline on Causes of the Texas Revolution--They highlighted/color coded pro-Mexican and pro-Texan information to be used in Wednesday's Debate: Did the Texans have the right and good excuses to revolt against Mexico?


Assignment for Tuesday:

  1. Finish reading and color coding Causes of the Texas Revolution (see link above).
  2. Students, I will be using this document about and by Mier y Terán  during the debate. I am making it available for use by all participants in the debate. You will notice that the first part provides secondary source background information, followed by primary source information by Mier y Terán.

Gen. Manuel Mier y Terán
