ETHNIC BOOK SERIES
The English Texans
by Thomas W. Cutrer
"The English who came to Texas in the early
19th century were awed by Texas drinking,
disgusted by Texas spitting and chewing,
charmed by Texas hospitality [and] utterly
baffled by Texas politics." So says Tom Cutrer
in this book about the English experience in
early Texas. The solid contributions of English
settlers, from barbed wire to steel windmills,
are enhanced by interesting anecdotes and
witty quotes.

represented unhesitating violence, unrelenting

Rangers served as Indian fighters, soldiers, and
peace officers, and eventually became part of

group's interdependence and unity in the face of
the unknown mirror one of the New Deal's

TRAVELING TRUNKS/MINI TRAVELING TRUNKS
All Traveling Trunks and Mini Traveling
Trunks include Classroom Guides
containing suggested activities
supporting materials.
Based on the Los Caminos del Rio
Heritage Project, the Agriculture and
Ranching, the Architecture, and the
Transportation trunks are a collaborative
project of the Institute of Texan Cultures and
the Texas Historical Commission, made
possible by a grant from the Southwestern
Bell Foundation.
Los Caminos del Rio:
Agriculture and Ranching
Who were the real cowboys of Texas? How
did irrigation change farming practices? Why
were there so many kinds of barbed wire?
Students will enjoy researching the materials
in this trunk that assists them in their
discovery of the real cowboys of Texas. The
trunk includes a copy of the Institute video
Workin' from Can't to Can't: African­American

The cultural heritage of the Rio Grande
Corridor is captured in this trunk.
Students will find an array of materials and
information on architecture prevalent within

trunk demonstrates to students how
architects in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
planned their structures after carefully
studying the constraints of climate, available
materials, cultural traditions, and functional
necessity. The trunk includes a fort plan
map, tools, an adobe mold, and some
samples of materials used in creating the
structures.
Grades4-7.
Rental fee (2 weeks) $60.00

people, goods, or materials from one place to
another, across water and land, through the
air, and even into space. The Transportation
trunk focuses on the needs of people to
move themselves and their goods along the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. The trunk includes
fiber sandals, a horseshoe, a model train, a
model steamboat, miniature cargo examples, a
railroad spike, an engineer's hat, a railroad
poster, an immigration map, and information

and role-playing as they explore an important
part of Texas life.
Grades4-7.
Rental fee (2 weeks) $60.00
The Other Cowboys
There's a common misconception that real-life
cowboys looked like John Wayne, Roy Rogers,
Gene Autry, and James Arness; in reality, there
were 35,000 cowboys who went "up the trail" in
Texas between 1865 and 1895-and not all were
Anglo-American males. Among those cowboys
were 9,000 African Americans, more than 4,000
Mexicans (vaqueros), and even a few females.
This trunk includes posters, photographs,
transparencies, artifacts, audiocassettes, a
videocassette, booklets, study materials, and a
teacher's guide. Children may pass around (and
try on) items commonly used by cowboys, such
as a saddle blanket and saddle, twisted horsehair
horse gear, bandana, lye soap, and a Stetson hat.
This project was made possible by a grant from
the Ellwood Foundation.

cowboy clothes.

A Spanish Boy in Early Texas
Using puppets, costumes, artifacts, an exciting
board game, and more, this trunk tells the story
of one day in the life of a Canary Islands boy.
Children will enjoy acting out scenarios and
putting on a puppet show. Role-playing with a
strike-a-light, a soldier's shield, or an Indian
puppet helps students understand life in the
early days of the Spanish missions. Contains five
copies of With Domingo Leal in San Antonio,
1734.

cards, photographs, and books. Students can

doll, clay marbles, McGuffey's Readers and a

EDUCATOR RESOURCES
INSTRUCTIONAL KITS AND CURRICULA
Fascinating Texans
A four-week teaching unit that's as fascinating as its subject matter,
Fascinating Texans provides more than 350 primary and secondary sources
for student research on the lives of 30 incredible Texans-from Baron de
Bastrop and Norris Wright Cuny to Lady Bird Johnson and Selena

included for a class of 30 students, as well as reproducible activity
worksheets and a Teacher's Guide with a four-week lesson plan.
Grades 7-12. SUPPLIES LIMITED.
FASC-PUBS $250.00
New Texans-Immigration and Citizenship
The cultural and ethnic diversity
of the American people today is
a legacy of our immigration
laws. This legacy of diversity
expands every month in cities
across the United States through
the naturalization process in
which immigrants become
American citizens. In this
instructional package, students
learn about immigration and
citizenship by being introduced
to 30 new Texans-immigrants
who have become U.S. citizens.
The New Texans includes two
seven-day instructional units,
on immigration and citizenship, with 30 laminated photos and stories
of recently naturalized citizens. Students will prepare and give short
speeches, conduct interviews or surveys, write a report or essay, make a
chart, take part in the literacy super bowl, and numerous other
learning activities.
An optional Internet component broadens the learning process even
further! Students can log on to the ITC website and actually hear the
personal stories of recent immigrants-the reasons they left their
homeland and found their way to America and Texas. The site includes
other related information, too, such as the INS literacy test and
interview techniques.
Grades 7-12.
NT-PUBS $60.00
The Other Cowboys
More than 35,000 cowboys went up the trail between 1865 and 1895.
However, despite the popular myth, not all of them were white Anglo­American
males. This three-week unit presents little-known information
about the 4,000 vaqueros, the 9,000 African-American cowboys, and
women who also went on cattle drives. A complete multicultural
instructional kit, The Other Cowboys includes all teaching materials
necessary for the three-week unit: a Teacher's Guide, a map, photographs,
a poster, a videotape, an audiotape, and chronology cards.
Grades 4-9.

diversity and its impact on student learning, and Workshop II

materials for student usage which are Internet-based. Both sets of
workshops are deliveuable thr.ough interactive compressed video
