Description
Review for a test with Colonization of Texas Task Cards. There are 32 question cards that are a combination of recall, maps, quotes, and images on the Texas Empresarios and the colonization of Texas. Challenge your students at a variety of levels! Differentiate by giving certain cards to your students. A blank template is included at the end if you wish to include more questions. The Answer Sheet has space for up to 40 questions. I recommend that you laminate the cards so that you can use them year after year.
These task cards have multiple uses in your classroom. You can:
– Set up centers to review for a test
– Play a game of “Scoot”. Place the task cards around the room and allow students to travel from one card to the next as they answer the questions.
– Need a quick formative assessment? Pass out a few of these task cards and have students answer them at the end of a lesson.
These task cards include questions on the Colonization of Texas including the Mexican Colonization Laws, Stephen F. Austin and other empresarios. Download the preview for more specific examples.

Love the cards. My students like to use them for test reviews. Really easy to make sets on card stock for individual use or groups.
