RenaInTexas Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) I have been researching Texas History curriculum for my 4th grader. I don't have any recommendations based on experience, but I can share some useful curriculum that I have found. This is a full curriculum with activities, but is set up for classes; so would need some modifying: https://www.sanjacinto-museum.org/content/documents/CurriculumGuideforTeachingTexasHistory.pdf This one has a week-by-week lesson plans specifically for 7th grade: http://www.princetonisd.net/Page/3544 This one gives a good idea of what to cover each week, but it doesn't have lesson plans or activities; just refers to pages in the textbook. But it could be useful for giving a guideline on what to cover, when: http://edinburg.schooldesk.net/Portals/Edinburg/District/docs/Social%20Studies/Curriculum%20Guides/7th%20Grade%20Social%20Studies.pdf ETA a few more: Discover Texas Texas History Homeschool Curriculum - great resource with lots of info, has links to curriculum; but no laid out plan The Alamo Edited July 7, 2016 by RenaInTexas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Maybe this would help? http://www.ourlandpublications.com/catalog/product_info.php/texas-student-set-p-53 There is also the Switched on Schoolhouse DVD self-paced course. Maybe that coupled with fun reading material and some documentaries would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonfirmath Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Fantastic. My son will be starting 4th grade and I so look forward to seeing how he takes to Texas History. I remember my class in 7th grade with great fondness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 The great thing about doing Texas history is that you can do whatever you want, whenever you want to do it, for however long you want to do it. :-) And there is a boatload of field trip possibilities. :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsfamily Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 This is all great! I think we're going to do Texas history with all of my crew next summer. I didn't grow up here so I will be learning right along with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
