Texas Originals Curriculum

Dinner Party Discussions Lesson Plan


Texas Originals, developed by Humanities Texas and Houston Public Media, is a radio series profiling individuals who have had a profound influence on Texas history and culture. This lesson is designed to use these profiles to help students consider the specific ways an individual contributed to Texas history and compare that contribution with those made by others. 

This lesson is designed for seventh-grade students currently studying Texas history in the classroom. It is particularly helpful as a semester or year-end review tool and is designed to be completed in one 45–60-minute class period.
