AP Texas History Assignments

Description

We will study Texas from three basic perspectives: where Texans came from (our state’s past), where we are now (present-day Texas), and where we are going (the future of our state). By looking at essential topics such as geography, government, and citizenship – and by adding some spice to the mix by learning about Texas’ diverse cultures, legends, and myths – we will see how our state’s past, present, and future are linked.
