We wrap up our three days of study of the War for Texan Independence by finishing the Disney film, The Alamo. We began last week with the Texan Independence PowerPoint presentation. We learned about the Texans' struggle for freedom from Mexico, and the homework was to make an Alamo monument. The homework for the movie was to write a three-paragraph essay explaining whether you believe the Texans were justified in rebelling against Mexico.
Over the past two days, we've been watching The Alamo. If you'd like to see trivia on the film, you can check out the IMDB entry here:

There's a good Wikipedia article on the Texan Revolution here:

The Daughters of the Republic of Texas have a great site for study of the Alamo here:

Next time, the Mexican War!
