Here are the teacher pack items for Spanish Settlement in Texas:
Overview In this experience, students learn about the types of Spanish settlements in Texas: missions, towns (pueblos), and ranches. They work in small groups to research a specific mission. Then they learn about the early history of San Antonio and about the conflicts that arose between missionaries and private ranchers. Students will collaborate in small groups for scene 2 through scene 4. Objectives:
Between 1632 and 1793, Catholic friars — members of religious orders — came to Texas with the charge of spreading their religion to the native Indians who resided in the area. The friars were sponsored by the Spanish government, which wanted more land to call its own. The friars built many missions and presidios. Many of these missions grew into larger cities that are still around today. The names of many of the cities, towns, rivers and areas around Texas have Spanish names because of these expeditioners.
Objectives:
