  1. WebQuest Presentation Introduction: Let’s Find Out About AWild Bunch! There are many movies depicting American History of the Wild West. A place where rules do not apply and where gun fighting was the way to settle a score. The Wild West had many colorful characters; some men, some women, Indians, outlaws, and, of course, the sheriff. Let’s be creative and shoot us up a good time for research and introducing a character of choice from the Old West! By Connie McDonnell EDU 310 Final April 25, 2013

  2. Tasks: • SWBAT: • Choose one outlaw from the list given • Complete the Webspiration provided by the teacher on the class Wiki by filling in the blank boxes of the KWL chart. This will help you get started on your research and a scenario of your choice • You will create a Voki (see example given on the class Wiki page) by going to the website: www.voki.com, to create the outlaw that you have chosen with details of their life • You will create your own Wanted poster by going to the website: http://www.glassgiant.com/wanted/ Collaboration with a partner: For your final part of this lesson, you will collaborate with one person in your classroom to complete a scenario of your choice (a list of ideas are given). You will then create your story and upload it to the class Wiki page to be shared by the whole class. List of outlaws and ideas for scenarios are given on the Process page. A rubric is provided to show criteria that need to be completed. The rubric is found on the Evaluation page. Have fun and use your imaginations!

  3. Outlaws of the Wild West Processes: Below is a list of outlaws to choose from, and a list of ideas of a scenario that you will create with a partner. The teacher has provided an example of a story using two outlaw characters. • List of Ideas for Scenario • Create your own scenario of an adventure with the setting of the Old West. You will use the outlaw of you and your partner’s choices (two outlaws). • Cattle rustlers • Horse thieves • Bank robbers • Train robbers • Shooting at the O.K. Corral • Striking gold • Indian territory • You should have at least two interactions between you and your “partner in crime’ to show collaboration using your class Wiki page. • You should have a beginning with a description of your setting, a middle (determining a climax) and an ending or demise, telling what happens between the two character outlaws from the beginning to the end. • You will give a reflection on your work. List of Outlaws Jesse James Henry Antrim (Billy the Kid) David C. Anderson James Anderson John King Fisher David Atkins Kate Watson (Cattle Kate) Richard "Rattlesnake Dick" Barter Samuel "Sam" Bass Pearl Hart Laura Bullion (Della Rose) William Carver Butch Cassidy Christopher "Kit" Carson Joy Samuel "Sam" Ketchum Thomas E. "Black Jack" Ketchum Bill McCarty George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb Robert "Bob" A. Olinger (Pecos Bob) Iron Jack Sheet George Shephard "Kid" Wade Erastus "Red" Yage Teacher’s example: Billy the Kid was said to be in town. Kit Carson was at the saloon asking about the Kid. He heard that there was a train coming into town carrying a surplus of guns and ammunition. What happens next? Avoiding the sheriff, Billy the Kid was hanging low, out of sight. Kit Carson found the Kid hold up in a cavern just outside of the town. Both Carson and the Kid came up with a plan to rob the train before it comes into the town. The train is heard miles down the track as Kit and Billy get ready to ambush the train. They pull their bandannas up around their faces, and with guns blazing they take both sides of the train. Kit caught a bullet in the leg. Billy got a shot off at a guard and the guard went tumbling off the train. The train came to a complete halt as the gunmen rallied up the trainmen and tied them together. Kit Carson and Billy the Kid made off with two large boxes of guns and ammunition. Soon on their trail was the sheriff’s posse. How do you think this story ends?
