Texan

I am going to use The First Texans lesson plan. I will ask the students to use some of the questions from The First Texans. Some questions will be taken out, so it pertains more to the culture. Once the students finish the activity I will then tell them to go home find out what their culture is. Then the next week dress up in what the people in their culture would wear. The students will then figure out what their relatives lives where like and they learn where they came from. I would call up the

As someone who identifies with both culture varieties in Louisianan and Hispanic Texan forms, one can see the various types of differences, including music, food, recreation, and life as a seventeen-year-old. As a senior in high school, my parents still give my commutes to and from school. This can be shown by the quote, “In short, the society in which you grow up, and your particular location in that society, lie at the center of what you do and how you think” (James M. Henslin, 2014, pg. 3.) A

Stephen Fuller Austin: A Texas Hero (1793-1836) It was November 3rd, 1793 in Wythe County, Virginia when Stephen Fuller Austin, son of Moses Austin, known as "The Father of Texas" was born. Austin attended school in Connecticut as a child and graduated from Transylvania University in Kentucky. In 1813, Austin was elected to the Legislature of Missouri and was reelected to that same position for three years until he moved to Arkansas. He was chosen

with the battle of Gonzales, but through sheer determination and resiliency how a ragtag army were victorious at the battle of San Jacinto. A victory which would shape the history of Mexico, Texas, United States and the world. To understand why the Texans were victorious at San Jacinto, you cannot purely just look at the battle itself, but at the tactical genius of what it seems General Sam Houston had been planning all along. General Houston had known all along that the fight against the Mexican

It was time to take Micah to Nashville and get direction for our son. A few nights before we left I was up all night. I spent time seeking God about our situation. My heart was broken and my despair was without words, but God was there, and as always He directed me. He reminded me about the time when Miranda had the chicken pox. She was just over a year old and Micah had just turned three. Micah was determined he would not get them. I was positive he would. One day in the shower God moved

Why did the Texans choose to fight in the Civil War? The Civil War was a war fought between the Confederate States of America and the Union States of America. This was the bloodiest war in American history resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. Around 65,000 Texans for the Confederacy and 12,000 to 15,000 of those troops ended up dying. The Texans fought in this war to protect slavery, for their states’ rights, and for the love and loyalty of Texas. The Texans fought in this war for their

you think pounding your fist on the floor in a fit of rage and spazzing your head to deal with pain “strength.” So my story begins in high school of junior year on Go Texan day of 2016. My school is a private school and it shouldn’t be shocking that my school has dress codes for uniforms and hair to keep the list short. So on Texan day you dress your best western cowboy like attire and so I wore my new Ariat boots, the next class I had to go to was Latin class and it was also downstairs. As I was

A Study of the Trans-Texas Corridor and How it Affects Texans      Everything is bigger in Texas. That’s what a lot of Texans what Americans and people around the world to know – you don’t mess with Texas. In the 1950’s, when President Eisenhower created the first Interstate plan for the country and implemented new roads in almost every single state, it was the largest engineering feat in the modern world. Now, almost half a century later, Governor Rick Perry is set to break that record, with

Houston felt that secession would be the wrong thing to do but many Texans disagreed with him. Secession was a big choice. Secession could cause war and Mexicans taking over Texas. The people wanted secession and Houston must make a choice. Would secession put the Texans in danger or help them thrive? With Texas apart of the U.S. the citizens' rights were protected and safe by the constitution. Without the constitution their rights would not be safe and the people would start losing rights until

Assigning blame is bench cleaning brawls like the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texan Rangers is extremely difficult, If not impossible most of the time. There is always a video, reaction and context to work from, nut there is plenty we don’t view and know. This most recent brawl occurred in the top of the 8th inning, games almost over but not quite yet! The Texas' 7–6 win on Sunday after Toronto right fielder Jose Bautista went in hard to second base on a take-out slide and was punched in the face by Rangers
