Lesson Plan 1:
Amazing Grazing

Assessment:

Review students' responses on their reflection worksheets.

Review students' responses provided during discussion.

Have students, individually or as a class, write a letter to one of the ranchers highlighted in the book. Be sure they include a list of things they learned about rangelands, ranching, ecosystems, and management of natural resources. Addresses for the ranches are listed below. Be sure students are aware that these busy ranchers may not have time to respond to every letter, but they would still be thrilled to know what the students have learned about grazing and ecosystems.
