This excellent little card sort exercise is designed to help students test their understanding of the different types of crime that people suffered in the American West. It can also be used as a starter or plenary and is suitable for the full range of ability.

When you purchase this resources you will receive a single sheet A4 resource with eight heading cards and statements which need to be cut out and matched together. This resource is provided in Microsoft Word so it can be easily customized for your students if necessary.

I usually keep a class set of these in envelops for my students to sort, but the instructions on the sheet allow for students to cut them out and stick then into their exercise books.

The aims and objectives for this lesson are:

Theme: The American West
Know: What different types of crime faced settlers in the West?
Understand: Why were some crimes more serious than others?
Evaluate: Why do historians disagree about the number of people killed?

WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify & describe: What different types of crime faced settlers in the West?
Explain: Why were some crimes treated more serious than others?
Analyze: Why do historians disagree about the number of people killed in the ‘Wild’ West?
