Here are the teacher pack items for The Attraction of Texas for Immigrants:
Overview In this experience, students brainstorm what motivated nineteenth-century immigrants to come to Texas. Then they focus on the experience of German immigrants. Next they analyze how the German immigrants impacted Texas. Finally they choose three additional immigrant groups and create a chart of interesting facts. If you have access to leveled readers about the nineteenth-century immigrant experience in Texas in particular or the United States in general, assign them to the students in parallel to this experience. Estimated duration: 35-45 minutes Discovery Reading A printable Discovery Reading is included in the student pack as a support for understanding the experience’s core content and concepts. This Discovery Reading is not necessary to complete the experience and serves as an optional support resource. Vocabulary Words: These vocabulary words are used in the experience or connect closely to the standards and content students examine. Students should understand these terms as they work through the experience. Objectives
