Windmills and Barbed
Wire
“Windmills and Barbed Wire”
is intended to
familiarize students of
today with how the Texas
frontier was settled — and
specifically the critical
role that water, windmills
and barbed wire played in
winning the west. The TEXAS
WATER Dime Novels are about
the Sullivan family who
packed up their possessions
and left Malvern Junction,
Arkansas aboard a Texas &
Pacific westbound train, and
headed for a new life in
Texas. It is through their
experiences that we learn
about how critical water
quickly became to their
survival and how they
adapted to their new home.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY…
It has been our approach to have our education materials sponsored for
classroom use. ISD budgets continue to be tight, with little extra funds
available for teachers to supplement classroom materials…even on a topic as
critical as WATER. The materials are affordable and are provided to educators
clearly identified with the sponsor’s name/logo. Sponsorship is available to
MUDs, water authorities, water industry consultants, and interested business
leaders or even parents or grandparents. Sets can also be purchased for use in
libraries.
We feature an Educator’s page on the website for posting of updates, teacher
input/classroom experiences/photos and examples of projects. Website information
is provided with the materials.
The Dime Novels and Readers Guide available by classroom – either in a
set of 30 books/2 Readers Guides ($92) or by specific quantity (Dime Novels $3
each; Readers Guides $1 each). When all three Dime Novels in the Winning the
West Series are published, special pricing will be available for those who wish
to purchase
all three books and Readers Guides in classroom sets.
