This lesson contains:
- A starter to get students’ ideas about what Cowboys looked like and acted like from their knowledge of Westerns and popular culture.
- An activity to label the cowboy on their worksheets with the correct equipment listed on the board.
- An annotating activity where information I gone through on-board (or can be printed if you prefer group work) and students annotate the different roles on the cattle drive, from point riders and flank riders through to the drag rider.
- An introduction to life on the trail and what it must have been like. Students then complete a highlighting task on a piece of guided reading to note the difficulties faced on the trail. Students then compare this with life on the range and whether the roles differed much.
- A choice of two plenaries: the first to determine whether cowboys were the heroes they are portrayed as in popular culture, and a second with sentence gap fills as a recap summary.
