The Texas Revolution: Fighting for Independence is a nonfiction text about how Texas won its Independence. The book begins by explaining why there was a fight to begin with and how, why and where the battles to win Texas took place. There are some historical figures included in the book as well. I would use this book to scaffold a Texas History lesson.
