Know: How did cattle ranching decline in the American West?
Understand: What factors contributed to cattle ranching success and decline?
Evaluate: Why did cattle ranching decline in the American West?
WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify & describe: Why cattle ranching developed and then declined?
Explain: What factors helped cattle ranching to develop and then decline?
Analyse: Begin to come to a judgement on which factors were the most important?
The resources come in the form of a PowerPoint and a card sort with a separate answer sheet.
There are five activities in this lesson which are aimed for students of all abilities.
Activity 1 is a snowballing starter using the keywords. Full instructions included. Activity 2 is a review activity designed to test students prior knowledge. They are given 5 factors why the cattle industry developed and are then expected to write a sentence explaining why they think it would help it to develop. Activity 3, builds upon Activity 2 by getting students to improve their answers in (purple pen) after having reviewed 5 slides explaining why the cattle industry developed. I have built some additional discussion questions into these slides to help students connect their learning with some of the reasons why the industry later declines.
Activities 4 - 7, deal with the decline of the industry. Activity 4 is a summary exercise, whilst Activity 5 is a card sort. Once students have reviewed the information, they are expected to sort the cards to create 5 PEE’s paragraphs explaining why Cattle Ranching declined. I have supplied a colour coded answer sheet to display onto the IWB to help students review their answers. Activity 6, is a past paper question with built in structure and support on 'The disastrous winter of 1886-87 was the most important reason for the end of the open range’. How far do you agree with this statement? The final activity provides students with an AFL student mark scheme to help them peer assess their answers.
As with all my resources, they are produced to a high standard and are designed to be interactive. Have fun and if you like this lesson, check out some of my other resource bundles.

This great resource looks at the development of cattle ranching and the key exam question on why cattlemen decided to drive their herds north? I've pitched the text level at lower to middle ability but the challenge of the final thinking skills review triangle is sufficient to stretch the more able.
The PowerPoint includes information slides on the background to cattle ranching and the long drives as well as information on:
The Impact of the American Civil War 1861-1865
Increased demand for beef in the East
The actions of Goodnight and Loving
The building of the railroads
The actions of Joseph McCoy
There are two core activities, a snowballing starter of the key words for the lesson and a thinking skills review triangle activity linked to a past paper question. As always, this resource can be easily edited and is designed to be used along side any main stream text book on this topic. The resource can also be uploaded to a virtual learning environment and set as a homework
The learning objectives are:
Theme: The American West
Know: How did cattle ranching develop in the American West?
Understand: Why did cattlemen drive their herds north?
Evaluate: Which factor was the most important?
WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify & describe: Why cattle ranching developed in the American West?
Explain: Why cattlemen drove their herds north?
Analyse: Begin to come to a judgement on which factor was the most important?

This great lesson has been field tested many times over the past 20 years. This version is an upgrade of the original lesson that I posted many years ago on school history. It looks at the causes of the Protestant Reformation and the ideas of Martin Luther. It is designed to suit the full range of abilities that you would find in a main stream secondary school.
The PowerPoint includes 5 activities. The first activity is a snowballing starter using all the key words in the lesson. The second activity gets students to annotate / label a medieval painting of purgatory. This will hopefully lead to a class discussion on ideas about Heaven and Hell. The third activity is to update and correct their labelling with purple pen. There then follows a series of slides and links to video clips explaining medieval ideas on relics, indulgences (Pardons) and Martin Luther’s role in challenging them. This is all done simply at a level that main stream students can understand.
The fourth activity, gets students to design their own Wittenberg Poster using Martin Luther’s ideas. This can be completed and aged for homework using tea bags or coffee and makes an excellent classroom display. 1000s of my students have completed this task and loved it!
The final activity, which might take a second lesson, gets students to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between a Catholic and a Protestant Church.
All the templates are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
The aims and objectives for this outstanding lesson are:
Theme: Why did Britain ‘break’ with Rome?
Know: Who was Martin Luther and why did he disagree with the Pope?
Understand: What are the differences between a Protestant & Catholic?
Evaluate: Why was there religious conflict in the 16th Century?
Skills: Cause, Consequence, Change & Continuity.
WILF - What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: the differences between a Protestant and a Catholic Church?
Explain: Why martin Luther protested against the Catholic Church?
Analyse: Why was there Religious Conflict in the 16th Century?

This great lesson is designed to help students understand how the Homesteaders overcame the problems they faced on the Great Plains such as water supply, natural hazards, extreme weather, protecting crops, bankruptcy, insects and Native Americans.
This lesson includes a 26 slide PowerPoint with six core activities including starter, review summary tasks on the problems, thinking skills review activities, card sort and an exam question. I have also included fourteen illustrated information slides to be used either before or after the card sort activity explaining both the problems facing the Homesteaders and the solutions that they came up with. In addition, the PowerPoint contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, information slides, pictures, diagrams and templates for summarizing learning.
The two page word document contains 14 problems with the solutions that the Homesteaders came up with mixed up. Students cut out the cards and match the problems and solutions under the two headings. Once they have peer reviewed or checked them during a class feedback session, students can then stick them into their books. Alternatively, you could create a class set that are kept in envelops and quickly matched and then put back as a quick starter or plenary.
For more information please see the sample preview. The aims and objectives for this activity are:
Theme: How successful were the Homesteaders at settling on the Great Plains?
Know: What problems did they have to overcome?
Understand: How did the Homesteaders survive and build successful farms on the Great Plains?
Evaluate: What impact did these solutions have on the Homesteaders, the environment and the Native Americans?
Skills: Cause, Consequence, Change, Continuity and Source Evaluation.
WILF – What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: What problems did the Homesteaders have to overcome in order to survive?
Explain: Did they try and solve these problems?
Analyze: begin to make an overall judgment on how successful the Homesteaders were at settling on the Great Plains and at what cost?
