What educators are saying

I love being able to make things more interactive for my students. I loved that this gave them an opportunity to really imagine what could happen on a cattle drive. Great activity.
There aren't a lot of resources for Texas history, well ones that catch my eye. This was a fun activity that took the information they learned to use it in a fun way. Reminded me of a Oregon Trail experience!

-Signs to mark locations of events in classroom

-Event directions

-Recording sheet

-Sample recording sheet

-Directions for narrative

-Sample narrative based on sample recording sheet

-Rubric for narrative

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This simulation is a set of posters that you hang around the room and place a die by. Students are assigned a poster to start with and begin by rolling the die there. According to the number they roll they follow the directions on the poster, record their result, and travel to the next poster. This is done for as long as the teacher would like, or until students complete their recording sheet. Afterwards students write a narrative piece about their journey.
