About this resource

This quiz comprehensively covers the Texas Revolution, focusing on the period from the early 1830s through Texas independence in 1836. The material is appropriate for 7th grade students studying Texas state history. Students need to understand the chronological sequence of events leading to revolution, including Mexican laws that restricted Anglo settlement, key battles from Gonzales through San Jacinto, and the roles of major historical figures like Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, William B. Travis, and Antonio López de Santa Anna. The questions assess students' knowledge of cause-and-effect relationships, such as how the Law of April 6, 1830 restricted immigration and trade, why the Alamo and Goliad massacres galvanized Texan resistance, and how the Battle of San Jacinto secured independence. Students must also identify significant documents like the Texas Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of Velasco, understand the geographic distribution of battles across Texas regions, and analyze the motivations and actions of key leaders on both sides of the conflict. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying Texas history in grade 7. The assessment serves as an excellent comprehensive review tool before a major test on the Texas Revolution, allowing students to practice recall of essential facts, dates, people, and events. Teachers can use this quiz for formative assessment to identify knowledge gaps before the summative exam, assign it as homework to reinforce classroom instruction, or implement it as a warm-up activity across multiple class periods. The variety of question formats helps students prepare for different types of test items they may encounter. This material directly supports TEKS 7.3A (explain the reasons for the growth of representative government and institutions during the colonial period), 7.3B (analyze the importance of the Mayflower Compact, the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, and the Virginia House of Burgesses to the growth of representative government), and 7.3C (describe how religion and virtue contributed to the growth of representative government in the American colonies).
