1. 9/12/16 Look Over the Test Sit in your correct seat (a1, a2, a3, etc.)
We are going to go over the test one question at a time.
Reteach European Exploration

2. Going over the Test
Look over your test and with a colored pen or pencil rate the questions
1: very easy
2: easy
3: somewhat hard
4: hard
5: Difficult
Think about why you rank the questions the way you did
Discuss with your partner the questions that were a 1 and 5

3. Going over the Test
Be prepared to share your reasoning with the teacher
Let’s discuss and look at the questions together
We will work through some of the questions using our test taking strategies

4. Testing Strategies are a Daily Grade
You must use 2 testing strategies or the test WILL NOT BE accepted by me!!
Highlight vocabulary or key terms
Write notes down about key terms in blank space (notes are not questions)
Cross out the answer choices

5. Finish Testing
Since I have so many students testing and can not put them out in the hall they will need to test in the room
While these students are testing you will need to remain silent and give them the same respect they gave you
If you are done then you will need to work on a daily assignment with a low grade in my classroom.
Turn in the daily assignment you fixed

9. Learning Target:
We will review the eras from Natural Texas through Spanish Missions for our test on Thursday
Success Criteria:
I will complete the study guide so I can prepare for the test on Thursday.

10. What is an era? How do we put eras in order?
An era is a long and distinct period of history with a particular feature or characteristic
We put eras in order by a system of chronology dating from a particular noteworthy event
1500,1600,1700

11. Natural Texas and its People
This era basically constitutes all of pre‐history up to the point of contact with Europeans in This includes natural geologic history as well as what is known about American Indians from the archeological record.

12. European Exploration
This era deals with the interaction between European explorers and American Indians from the point of first contact in 1528 until the first efforts at establishing a permanent Spanish presence through missions in and This includes the encounters of Cabeza de Vaca and the numerous expeditions over the next 150 years that defined what the Europeans and American Indians understood about each other and Texas.

13. What is relative chronology?
Placing events in the order they happened relative to one another. You don't have to know necessarily specific dates

14. What was the effect of the land bridge?
It allowed animals and people to migrate (move) to the Americas from Russia/Persia. The people entered through Alaska following their food. They eventually spread throughout America. Humans first reached Texas about 11,000 years ago. We refer to these humans as Native Americans.

15. Native Americans
The first Americans arrive by crossing the land bridge. It is believed that they (Native Americans) arrived in small bands over thousands of years.
These bands were migrating in search of food and ended up spread throughout North America.
Early people were hunters and gatherers.

16. Southeastern Tribe
Coastal Plains and the North Central Plains
Wichita, Caddo, Atakapan
Farmers of corn, squash, seeds, beans and melons
Lived in permanent villages
Caddo were the most advanced of these tribes.

17. Plain Tribe
Great Plains & North Central Plains
Comanche, Apache, Kiowa, Tonkawa
The Plains Indian tribes were great hunters and were the first to use horses for hunting. The use of horses changed the lives of the Plains Indian tribes forever
Because the moved following buffalo herds, the Plains Indians lived in Tipi’s (teepee) which were easily transported by horse.

18. European Exploration
This era deals with the interaction between European explorers and American Indians from the point of first contact in 1528 until the first efforts at establishing a permanent Spanish presence through missions in and This includes the encounters of Cabeza de Vaca and the numerous expeditions over the next 150 years that defined what the Europeans and American Indians understood about each other and Texas.

19. Hernan Cortes
Cortés was a Spanish conquistador (soldier and explorer) who conquered the vast Aztec empire in central America in 1521.

20. La Salle
Given ships, colonists, and soldiers by the French King to start a new colony at the mouth of the Mississippi. He landed at Matagorda Bay instead. He tried to establish a colony, but failed because of attacks by Native Americans and disease.
LaSalle left the colony to find a way home and was believed to be shot by his own men. The survivors were found by Spanish soldiers. Spain feared that France would try to claim Texas and renewed their colonization efforts in Texas.

21. Missions
The mission-presidio system: used by Spanish to gain control in other parts of the new world.
Missions were Spain’s main way of colonizing and were expected to support themselves.
A mission was a settlement set up in Indian territory. Friars, or members of clergy who belong to religious groups, invited Indians to live at the missions.

22. How and why did missions fail or succeed in Texas?
Eventually led to Native Americans death by diseases
Most missions failed in East Texas due to Native American or French attacking and lack of funds

23. Father Damian Massanet
Were sent with several priests, and about 100 soldiers to colonize East Texas.
Convinced the viceroy of New Spain to colonize East Texas and convert the Caddoes to Catholicism
Resulted in many missions in East Texas even though they were failures

24. Let’s go over the KASE Testing Strategies!!!
