Information about School Presentations

My interpretation of history in period attire is designed to educate all students. They are fun, interactive excursions into the past that have proven appeal to all ages and nationalities. Formal presentations, except for the Alamo tour, can include a PowerPoint presentation depending upon the students’ needs. Your choices include:  
  • The Texas Revolution and the Battle of the Alamo
  • The Hispanic Heroes of the Texas Revolution
  • Tours of the Alamo
    Meet a Texian or Tejano volunteer of the Texas Revolution in full period attire and armed with his flintlock weapon.
     
  • Texas Cowboys and the Great Longhorn Cattle Drives
    Meet a Texas cowboy of the 1870s who will show and tell what it was really like on the great Longhorn cattle drives heading north to Kansas and beyond. Come on along!
  • American Civil War
    Meet a Union or Confederate solider who will relate the military, social and economic events of America's greatest war.
     
  • Life and Times of Theodore Roosevelt (in first person)
    Meet Theodore Roosevelt, one of America's most dynamic leaders, in the first person and find out why this "force of nature" has been revered as an American original, Nobel Laureate and recipient of the Medal of Honor. For more information see www.teddyrooseveltlives.com. Come be inspired and reminded of the timeless virtues that made America great!
 

These living history programs are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), especially for grades four, seven, eight and ten. Enhancement of all students’ critical thinking skills, motivation, and relevance of historical facts and events, and concepts on TAKS social studies tests are integrated into these presentations.
