The Texas Almanac Teacher's Guide is a collection of lesson plans, designed to accompany the Texas Almanac in the classroom.
These instructional suggestions and activities were written by current or former classroom teachers and represent a wealth of ideas for making use of the information provided by the Texas Almanac. There are a number of exciting projects related to the Texas Almanac that are worthy of noting, including: additional content available on texasalmanac.com, the availability of the current edition electronically via EBSCO's Texas Reference Center database through your school library, and the online availability of back issues of the Texas Almanac dating to 1857, which can be accessed by clicking "Archive," above. We strongly encourage the purchase of hard copies of the Texas Almanac, as they can be more flexible when technology is unavailable. Furthermore, we realize that hard copy editions are available through a variety of outlets, but encourage you to purchase them through the Texas State Historical Association, as such purchases provide maximum benefit to the organization.
The text for the history lessons, Lessons 3–14, can be found here.
