Today is the anniversary of Texas’s independence from Mexico. I was puzzling over how to integrate this into the IB curriculum; after all, there are a lot of IB schools in Texas and many of these have state requirements that they need to integrate into the IB syllabus.
Given that the Americas curriculum has a section on nation-building, it could very well fit in there. It could also, perhaps, fall under Independencde Movements, albeit in a very tenuous manner. When I teach the Mexican revolution I spend a lot of time on 19th century developments that affect the revolution, so I include it as background to the unit.
