This week in 7th grade Texas History, students spent time experiencing life as if they were Native Americans living in a mission in Texas in the 1700's. They were introduced to their mission by their teacher outside the room and then they walked in listening to the sounds of Gregorian Chants. After taking a vow of silence, they participated in different stations representing different aspects of the mission life - sleeping in the dormitory, working in the kitchen, separating seeds, translating words from English to Spanish, listing to the chants(Chapel) and cleaning the mission. At the end of the lesson, students had a different perspective about mission life.
