This lesson contains:
- An introduction to the ‘open range’ and why the cowboys moved from working on the range rather than performing cattle drives.
- A task to study the reasons why the cattle drives ended and the role of cowboys declined. Students read the information provided and put the reasons into order of importance.
- A discussion of the winter of 1886-87 and the consequences of the great ‘die-up’.
- An opportunity to study the role barbed wire played in the decline of cowboys by studying an exam exemplar and picking out facts and importance words in the answer, then having a go at their own exam question using similar criteria.
- A plenary crossword with the keys words from the cattle ranging and cowboys lessons.
