FreedomRun II

Freedom Run 2 is a supplemental software application (program) designed to be usedby 5th and 8th grade Texas students to master TEKS Social Studies and prepare for the8th grade social studies STAAR test.
All materials are completely aligned with the TEKS, in fact the TEKS are the heart of Freedom Run.
It is created specifically to solve this current issue of TEKS mastery that students are having at this grade level.
All materials are fully bilingual (English and Spanish) and can be used as needed. Freedom Run is specially designed for Texas 8th Grade Social Studies TEKS with the added benefit of providing the bilingual component for districts in Texas with high LEP populations.
Freedom Run organizes content in five units that address facts about U.S. history from the establishment of the first colonies (e.g., 1492) through reconstruction (e.g., 1877). Units consist of three or four chapters. Each chapter contains a set of short, topically organized lessons that feature a summary statement followed by a list of historical facts. At the end of each lesson in the student edition, icons direct students to the practices, videos, and additional activities.
