This lesson is designed to help students understand the lives of American cowboys. It focuses on the clothes and equipment that they used to help them survive their everyday challenges.
The PowerPoint includes the aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, a snowballing starter of the key words, a labeling exercise to test students prior knowledge, information slides and instructions on how to complete the accompanying card sort and peer assess it. I have also embedded several video clips to illustrate how the equipment was used.
The word document includes all the cards with both the names and the descriptions of the clothes and equipment worn by cowboys to be correctly sorted.
The aims and objectives of the lesson are:
Theme: The American West
Know: What equipment did a cowboy use to do his job?
Understand: How did cowboys use their equipment?
Evaluate: How successfully did cowboys adapt to their environment?
WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify & describe: The equipment carried by cowboys
Explain: How was each piece of equipment used?
Analyse: Begin to come to a judgement on how successfully cowboys adapted to their environment?
