Lesson Topic
Cam's Narrative and Homesteading Documentary
Lesson Outline
Cam read to me his latest entry to his narrative. It is very creative! I suggested that he weave The Homestead Act and the homesteading experience along with cattle drives and cowboys into his narrative since these historical events can work well with his latest entry. I also presented to him some very informative timelines with photographs/images from the Library of Congress. I also read a few excerpts of a narrative written by a cowboy born in Texas in 1866 who experienced many cattle drives. Then, I attempted to show a documentary by Prairie Public called Homesteading with historical narratives, diary entries, and letters; maps of the United States and Europe; historical photographs; and expert scholarly commentary about the homesteading experience of the Great Plains.
