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. |
