At the time, there was a scouting joined the Dodge City police force. It campaign against the Chiricahua ((Chir-i-cow-uh) Apaches. was in Dodge City that Earp met Doc Holliday, a well-known gunslinger [good Ed was part of this mission and was staying at Camp at shooting guns]. Huachuca (Wa-chu-ka Wa-chu-ka).). During his stay, he would leave the ((Wa-chu-ka). camp to look for rocks in the wilderness, even though his Wyatt Earp moved to Tombstone in 1879. fellow soldiers at the camp warned him not to. The town was booming after the silver rush, and most of the Earp family lived They told him that he wouldn’t find stones out in the there. Virgil, his brother, was working as wilderness – only his own tombstone. Fortunately, for Ed, the town sheriff, and Wyatt joined him. he did not find his tombstone, but he did find something: silver. By 1881, a feud [argument]] had developed between the Earps and a gang led by Ike Clanton. The feud was settled during Word quickly spread about his Corral.

January 1929.

30 shots in 30 seconds! On the cold afternoon of 26 October 1881, four men in long black coats strode down dusty Fremont Street. Around the corner, in an empty patch of ground behind the O.K. Corral, waited six cowboys. In 30 seconds, nearly 30 shots were fired at close range. The gun battle became a tale of legend … How the O. K. Corall got its name. The phrase ‘O.K.’ originated in the mid-1800s. Today, it is one of the most-used phrases in the world. Originally spelt with full stops, it is an abbreviation of orl korrect, a humorous form of all correct. John Montgomery used it to name his ‘O.K. Corral, Livery, and Feed Stable’ where the gunfight happened. We write it as OK or okay, but it is informal and should not be used in essays and other writing unless it’s dialogue someone is saying. 15

Doc Holliday: the dentist deputy John Henry ‘Doc’ Holliday earned his nickname when he graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery in 1872. Holliday was a good dentist, but playing cards and being an expert shot interested him more than teeth. Holliday was a loyal friend to Wyatt Earp and stood by him during the 1881 shootout at the O.K. Corral. Doc Holliday is one of the great legends of the Wild West; his life is an epic adventure that has been told and retold in literature and film. In 1887, Doc Holliday died in his bed from tuberculosis. He was 36 years old.

Class discussion Look at the title of the lesson. What does ‘howdy’ mean? Do you know where the word comes from? Share your opinions with the class.

1. 2.

How do you ou think the ‘Wild West’ got its name?

Do you think the portrayals of cowboys and lawmen that we see on television and in films are necessarily true? Were the cowboys always heroes? Were Native Americans always ‘uncivilised’ and ‘dangerous’?

3. 4.

Have you ever read a book or watched a film about the Wild West? If you have, tell the class what it was and whether you enjoyed it.

5. 6.

Would you ou like to have lived in the Wild West? If yes, what would you like about living there? If no, what wouldn’t you like about it? Write the correct ect word under the image and explain what it is.

Activity 124: Listen to a description

Listen to the description your facilitator will read to you.

Discuss the text by comparing the similarities and differences between the description of Tombstone and the city you live in. Use these guidelines as part of your discussion. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

What is being described? What are the similarities between this text and the city you live in? What are the differences between this text and the city you live in? Does the description make you want to visit the town? Is the description interesting? Does it provide interesting facts? Name three new things you learnt from listening to this description.

Activity 125: Give a personal recount Give a personal recount about something you have done in the city where you live. 17

Unit

Study Guide 2/2 G05 ~ English First Additional Language

Your recount must be 1–2 minutes. Think about these questions: Where was it?

Who was/were with you?

When were you there?

What did you see or do?

Think about something you have done (driving in the city centre or an outing you went on). Think about the things you did and the events surrounding this activity.

Activity 126: Perform a poem Memorise the poem and perform it in class.

SA M

Before you perform the poem aloud in class, read through the tips on how to perform a poem with expression.

Be confident

Place your feet shoulder-width apart and place your hands at your sides – not in your pockets! 2

Use your voice

Project your voice – that does not mean you must shout. Speak loudly and clearly so everyone can hear you, especially your facilitator, who will be giving you marks! Or, if the poem calls for it, whisper or speak quietly. 3

Let the poem tell you how to perform it.

The clues for how to perform a poem are in the poem itself. If someone in the poem is happy, then you will perform it with a happy voice; if someone’s sad, then you will perform accordingly and so on.

Study Guide 2/2 G05 ~ English First Additional Language

Unit

Practise before the time

Read the poem aloud to yourself and get comfortable with every word in it. When you read aloud, you can hear yourself and change your reading until you are happy with it. 5

Where should I look when I’m performing a poem?

If you’re nervous, find a point just above the audience’s heads to focus on or look at the wall behind them. If you’re feeling confident, look at each audience member’s face. Your audience will react to your performance, and you will become more confident. Enjoy what you are doing! 6

Don’t forget to breathe!

Shake yourself like a big, shaggy dog coming in from the rain to loosen up your muscles and take a deep breath. If you make a mistake, KEEP GOING!

SA M

It’s not the end of the world. All of this is good practise for one day when you must speak in front of people.

‘Don’t ever sell your saddle’ Don Bishop

Don’t give up on dreams, take time to see them through. There is no magic recipe, hard work makes them come true.

Even when you’re struggling, your friends will stick like glue. Don’t ever sell your saddle, your dreams won’t give up on you. 19
