A complete learning package
Learning tools throughout the text help your students make sense of the
dynamics and complexities of Texas politics. Learning objectives set
clear expectations, core assessment and Chapter Review questions keep
students on track, and features prompt critical thinking and deeper
learning.
“TEXAS VS.” BOXES are an extension of the book’s
comparative method, incorporating a data literacy approach that
encourages students to think about how Texas differs compared to
other states.
“FEDERALISM IN ACTION” BOXES appear in nearly every
chapter and highlight city and state issues, such as fracking in
Denton, campus carry, voter I.D. laws, and transgender bathrooms.
“TEXAS LEGENDS” BOXES showcase figures and events that
have shaped—and continue to influence—Texas politics.
Examples include Sam Houston, Barbara C. Jordan, the League of
United Latin American Citizens, and Texas Supreme Court justice
Raul A. Gonzalez Jr.
CORE ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS aligned with the Texas
Higher Education Coordinating Board’s (THECB) Academic
Course Guide Manual (ACGM) reinforce chapter content and
ensure that learning outcomes are achieved.
