Subject Area: Social Studies Grade Level: 11 (Westward Expansion) Cowboys’ Jobs Subject Area: Social Studies Grade Level: 11 (Westward Expansion) Lesson Objective: Students will be able to accurately describe a cattle drive and show knowledge of the different types of cowboy jobs and jargon used by cowboys in the West. Overview: Students will be introduced to job summaries and equipment used by cowboys in the West and plan a cattle drive. Lesson: 1. Read the “Help Wanted” sign, and break down the hours, working conditions, and equipment needed. 2. Discuss why cows had to be driven East, specific job titles, equipment used by cowboys, and how cattle drives occurred. 3. Students will take a key leadership role in a cattle drive and apply their knowledge to planning a cattle drive. 4. Students will use their maps from the previous day to show daily planning for a cattle drive from San Antonio, TX to Wichita, KS. Extension: 1. Students will further develop mapping skills by using their maps from yesterday. 2. Upon learning about pioneer lives in the next few days, students should be able to compare and contrast cowboys’ daily lives with that of pioneers. 3. Students will be able to build upon this knowledge to understand the issues between ranchers and farmers and subsequent inventions (i.e. barbed wire, the need for western railroads).
