Texas

[Note: For this piece you will need to help students read “cows” and “cowboys.”]

Texas is a big land in America. There are lots of cows and cowboys in Texas. There is a lot of dust there as well.

Texas cowboys dress well for the jobs they do. They have strong jackets, and hats that block the sun.

A lot of Texas is flat grass land. But it has hills and cliffs as well.

If you travel to Texas, it will help if you have a big map.
