The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for The Founding of San Antonio:
Overview In this experience, students first brainstorm on images that represent San Antonio to them. Then they learn the history of San Antonio, with its five missions, presidio, and large civilian settlement. They create two timelines of the developments. Finally they apply what they learned in this case study to explain the role of the Spanish missions and presidios in colonizing and developing Texas. If you have access to leveled readers about the early history of San Antonio, assign them to the students in parallel to this experience. Estimated duration: 45-60 minutes Vocabulary words: Objective
A case study is a detailed examination of a single thing in order to understand a complex matter and to make generalizations. In this lesson, you will take a close look at how the Spanish settlements and missions in San Antonio affected the colonization of Texas. Then you will draw generalizations about how other Spanish settlements affected the colonization and development of Texas.
