Overview Students begin by uploading an image that represents San Antonio to them. Then they learn the history of San Antonio, with its five missions, presidio, and large civilian settlement. They create two timelines of the developments. Finally they apply what they learned in this case study to explain the role of the Spanish missions and presidios in colonizing and developing Texas. If you have access to leveled readers about the early history of San Antonio, assign them to the students in parallel to this experience. Estimated duration: 45-60 minutes Vocabulary words: Objective
