Teacher Tips and Answers:

This exercise covers material in the first five chapters of The Wild One.

Use it as:

• A reading quiz
• To jump-start a discussion if students have been "away" from the book for a day or two
• Help students check the quality of their reading if they believe they're ahead of the class *

* Encourage students who are reading ahead and reading well to use the author's description of one of the ranches as the basis for their own map of that setting.
