For the remaining part of this module, you will focus on a foreign country (randomly assigned to each
student)that has had a major influence on the culture of Texas and that is represented at The Institute of Texan
Cultures. Your goal is to gather information on your assigned country and its role in the development of the
culture of Texas
- Assigned Country is France
2.Explore the website of The Institute of Texan Cultures (http://www.texancultures.com) and look for content
related to immigration, Texan cultures, and your assigned country.
3.Take a virtual tour of another museum that showcases the culture of your assigned country. A good place to
start is Google Arts & Culture (https://artsandculture.google.com/partner) where you can visit collections from
all over the world (the “Map” function is very useful to locate museums from your assigned country). Make sure
that the virtual collection you visit refers to your assigned country. In your post, share the name of the museum
you visited and what you have learned from this virtual visit.
4.An excellent introduction to the topic of this module is the book “Gone to Texas: The Immigration of Cultures”
(retrieved from UTSA’s Libraries Special Collections at
https://digital.utsa.edu/digital/collection/p16018coll6/id/577
5.Continue your exploration by reading the “Texans One and All”short essay dedicated to your assigned
country
6.Check additional resources on the Internet and gather information on the culture of your assigned country
and its role in the development of the culture of Texas. List all the resources you found about the culture of your
assigned country and its influences on the culture of Texas. Include at least three resources (with related links
and/or files) and, for each resource, discuss how you verified its rigor and authenticity. Wikipedia should not be
one of the resources you cite, but it can be a great starting point for your research. However, before you do
that, watch the following video, which discusses how to critically approach and use Wikipedia (you can start
watching at 6:42):
