Discover Texas/Month-by-Month Adventure

The same Discover Texas Online adventure, delivered month-by-month so it fits more easily into your homeschool budget.

Discover Texas is an age-integrated program that will help your family discover Texas history, geography, and government in a way that is meaningful, memorable, and fun.

Each lesson tells a story and features:

  • web links
  • videos
  • books
  • crafts
  • activities
  • and field trips

to keep things interesting and help you experience, firsthand, the "greatest state in the main forty-eight!"

Nine volumes guide you through nine chronological eras: Geography & Indian Cultures; Explorers; Missions & Colonies; Texas as a Nation; Texas in the Civil War; Statehood & Constitution; Cavalry & Indians (westward expansion); Ranches, Cotton & Oil (industrialization); and Texas Today/My Place in History. In each era you'll enjoy reading colorfully illustrated articles that narrate the story of Texas, or use the read-along audio feature. Web links in each article take you to select websites where you can learn dig deeper into topics of special interest. Each volume includes a wide variety of activities--related topical studies, unit study activities, and critical thinking questions. The Teacher's Tips section in each volume gives you a broad summary of the issues impacting the era and provides suggestions for books and field trips. With print-outs included for reading guides, maps, activities, vocabulary, and tests, you have everything you need to immerse yourself in an interactive, hands-on history adventure!

This program was originally designed for home and parochial school use.

A note from the course creator:
