Incorporate homeless awareness into classroom activities. The pages within the Liberty for Life tab are designed to help faciliate TEKS assessment needs.

Included are links to information on numerous works of literature involving homeless youth, and images of more than 40 historic figures who were once homeless. They are all broken into categories that will make it easy to incorporate into the curriculum. Each image contains a link to an information source that will aid the student in learning about the topic. Try it yourself. Click on the image of the Liberty Bell. The bottom of each page even includes an index, making it easy to navigate the site.
