HIS 3324 Texas, US History & Geography for EC-6
This course highlights the main themes of US history, Texas history and geography. Specifically, it reviews basic Physical, Human, and Cultural Geographical concepts alongside US History content to contextualize and introduce Texas History and Geography. The course seeks to help better prepare EC-6 students to pass the State Social Studies composite exam. Accordingly, this course uses content from the Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) to review and plan lessons for grades EC-6. In effect, we will prepare E-6 educators to help elementary students understand the relationships between the past, present, and the future as well as how geographic relationships inform ones' knowledge of Texas, the United States, and the World.
