I am a 19th century researcher and have studied Pickett, taught classes to students on his life and yearly invitational. Additionally, I have attended the Bill Pickett Rodeo Invitational with a small learning group and had the honor of meeting and interviewing local youth who compete in the annual, traveling rodeo.
Students will be provided with a two-page handout to be printed prior to class. Learners will also need colored pencils or crayons, scissors, and glue.
Students will be using scissors for this class craft. Please supervise or assist your young learner as needed.
This class references historical and biographical information about Bill Pickett and his invitational rodeo from various secondary source historical texts, academic peer-reviewed encyclopedia articles, children's books, and the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo website which provides the inception and history of this annual rodeo competition.
