The purpose of this lesson is to teach students about the evolution of the working system in the United States, and most importantly, in the Rio Grande Valley. Seven lesson plans were created in where the students will be learning about Peonage in the RGV. The first two days are based on Slavery, thus students make new connections to the new topic being taught. That way the student can have their previous knowledge activated going in to the next days, which are day three and four, in where the term Peonage will be introduced. Then the students will go into day five in where they will compare the characteristics of slavery and peonage. On day six and day seven the students will express their point of view on the topics through a series of activities. One of the activities will be to visit The Museum of South Texas History, and the last activity will be to create a proclamation about how the student would change the laws regarding the peonage system.&#13;
&#13;
Introduction&#13;
There are several reasons for the creation of these lesson plans. Based on the fourth grade TEKS, the objective is to have the student apply their critical thinking skills to identify different points of view about the issue. It is important that the students learn about slavery and peonage because it helps them understand the&#13;
differences of the work systems we have today, compared to about 150 years ago. Peonage, also known as debt slavery, was a system in which an employer would compel a worker to pay off a debt with work. Some of the cases of peonage that were heard in the RGV area were from Raymondville in the 1920s; with almost 400 illegal cases when peonage was already “prohibited. Until one created controversy.&#13;
&#13;
Rubric&#13;
Students will be evaluated on their overall collaborative work for the unit utilizing the rubric attached below.&#13;
The “Group Work” category is to evaluate how students worked with their group members in regards to&#13;
support, communication, and listening to their group members. Secondly, the category “Historical role play”,&#13;
focuses on how each students prepared for the role they are assigned. The third category is “Graphics&#13;
organizers”, which will be used to evaluate the activities in which graphic organizers are created.&#13;
&#13;
Group work Routinely provides useful&#13;
ideas when participating&#13;
in the group and in&#13;
classroom discussion. A&#13;
definite leader who&#13;
contributes a lot of effort.&#13;
Usually provides&#13;
useful ideas when&#13;
participating in the&#13;
group and in&#13;
classroom&#13;
discussion. A strong&#13;
group member who&#13;

                <text>Peonage, also known as debt slavery, was used an option for farmers to control labor. The Raymondville peonage cases, which were the first of their kind in Texas history, were tried in the Nueces County federal court in January 1927. Although the practice was illegal, peonage labor was used during the early twentieth century in some counties of South Texas, where it had become common to force laborers, usually Mexican or African Americans but also whites, to work off debts owed to farmers. During times of labor shortage the practice included charging individuals with vagrancy in order to force them into labor; "friendly farmers" paid off their fines and then had the prisoners work off the debt by picking cotton, often under armed guard. &#13;
