This lesson contains:
- A background to early farming and the effect of the Indian Appropriations Act on settling Indians further West.
- An on-board summary of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 and the parcelling up of land to be newly settled. The students can stick the map in an annotate around it.
- A brief introduction to these new farmers as Homesteaders. More comes in later lessons on them though.
- A guided reading/research task on the difficulties the farmers faced. Students use the information to complete the table for problems of farming the Plains and problems of living on the Plains.
- A plenary to assess whether life was harder for miners (previous lesson) or farmers.
