The Texas Revolution is such an important part of US Westward Expansion, and this resource is a simple, visually engaging and fun way to teach about it!

This resource not only teaches about the Texas Revolution but also gives students practice with Cornell Notes. There is a Cornell Note note taking sheet with pre-determined topics for note taking that correspond with the titles on the slides and a section for summarizing the lesson.
