The Texas Revolution timeline from 1836, focusing on the Siege of the Alamo.

Let’s go step by step to fill out this Texas Revolution worksheet.

We’re focusing on the Siege of the Alamo, which happened from February 23 – March 6, 1836. The worksheet asks us to:

1. Describe the Siege of the Alamo (top right box)
2. List heroes of the Alamo (left side boxes — there are two portraits already shown: Davy Crockett and James Bowie)
3. Write what happened at the end (bottom scroll labeled “Texas Later”)
4. Draw or describe the Battle of San Jacinto (right side explosion-shaped box — it says “March 1836” and points to that battle)

Step 1: Describe the Siege of the Alamo

The Siege of the Alamo was when Mexican General Santa Anna surrounded the Alamo mission in San Antonio with his army. About 180–250 Texan defenders (including famous men like Davy Crockett, James Bowie, and William B. Travis) held out for 13 days against thousands of Mexican soldiers. They were running low on food, water, and ammo. On March 6, 1836, the Mexican army attacked early in the morning and killed almost all the defenders. It was a big loss for Texas, but it became a rallying cry: “Remember the Alamo!”

→ So in the top right box, write something like:
> “Mexican troops surrounded the Alamo for 13 days. Texans inside fought bravely but were outnumbered. On March 6, they were defeated. Their sacrifice inspired others to keep fighting.”

Step 2: Heroes of the Alamo

There are two portrait boxes already filled with Davy Crockett and James Bowie. You can add more names if you want, but since only two boxes are provided, we’ll use those.

Under each portrait, write their name and one fact:

- Davy Crockett: Famous frontiersman and former U.S. Congressman. He came from Tennessee to help Texas fight for independence. Died defending the Alamo.

- James Bowie: Known for the “Bowie knife.” He was sick during the siege but still helped lead the defense. Also died in the battle.

If you had space for more, you could add William B. Travis (who wrote the famous “Victory or Death” letter) or Tejana heroine Susanna Dickinson (one of the few survivors).

Step 3: What Happened Later? (Bottom Scroll)

After the Alamo fell, General Sam Houston led the Texan army. They retreated east to gather strength. Then, on April 21, 1836, they surprised Santa Anna’s army at the Battle of San Jacinto. The Texans shouted “Remember the Alamo!” and won in just 18 minutes! Santa Anna was captured, and Texas won its independence from Mexico.

→ In the bottom scroll, write:
> “After the Alamo, Texans kept fighting. At San Jacinto, they defeated Santa Anna and won independence for Texas!”

---

Step 4: Battle of San Jacinto (Right Side Explosion Box)

This is where you draw or describe the final battle. Since it’s an explosion shape, maybe draw flames, soldiers, or a flag. Or write:

> “April 21, 1836 — Texans charged shouting ‘Remember the Alamo!’ Beat Santa Anna in 18 minutes. Texas became independent!”

You can also draw a small picture of soldiers fighting or a flag waving.

Now let’s put it all together neatly for your worksheet.
