(Grades 6-12)
The Trinity River supplies water to central Texas citizens. The river’s history is as old as the state. This inquiry lesson allows students to investigate multiple citizens’ opinions on the creation of reservoirs and dams off of the Trinity River and the receptiveness of their concerns by their Representative. This is a virtual lesson using primary source documents from the W. R. Poage Legislative Library.
