Spanish Missions the End of Spanish Rule Test

Spanish Missions & the End of Spanish Rule Test What you should study. • • Spanish Missions vocabulary (You need to know the vocabulary in order to answer many of the questions) Spanish Missions in Texas Notes (Know why missions were built in Texas & the important missions in Texas. Know when San Antonio was founded (Why did the mission system fail? ) Important Spaniards in Texas Colonization (Know the 3 Priest & colonizer & be able to tell the difference between each) Spain Loses North America (Know the Important Expeditions that took place and their quests to take Texas from Spanish rule; Know the bloodiest battle that took place in Texas history) Chapter 6 Guided Reading (Be familiar with the major events) Like that helps! Mexican Independence (Know the major causes & effects; know the year it started & when it was finally achieved; know who started it…Why? Because for a while Texas was actually a province of Mexico, making their history our history for a while…strange huh) Basically study everything that is labeled Spanish Mission and the End of Spanish Rule on my website under classwork & power points- A good place for info if your child has missed a class. Not to mention my 7 th grade class ‘scaffolds’ which means I build upon concepts that were learned throughout the 9 weeks- meaning occasionally I add in questions that your child would need to have mastered in Geography…say 4 regions for example & what type of mission would be built in that region, what it would look like based on the resources available for the time period. Why? . . . because that is what I was hired to do…plus you get the satisfaction that your student would have to work really hard in order to get commended for these 7 th grade Tests therefore a big confidence building achievement! Good Luck & God Bless Texas!
