Have students explain the roles of Sam Houston and James Bowie during the Texas Revolution in the decision to defend the Alamo. Remind students that Sam Houston thought that Colonel Neill and his troops should abandon the Alamo. When James Bowie arrived, he disagreed. Students should write a half of page single spaced letter from the perspective of James Bowie to Sam Houston. The purpose of the letter is to persuade Houston that the Alamo should be defended. Encourage students to use emotional appeals and facts from the lesson text and to consider the frame of reference that influenced Bowie. Use correct standard grammar and correct spelling in your letters. Before submitting your letters, please proofread to ensure they follow standard grammar and spelling.
