WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MUSTANG

Based on Terri's award-winning non-fiction book WILD AT HEART: Mustangs and the Young People Fighting to Save Them, this all-grades presentation does a lot of myth-busting as it uses wild horses to explore the impact of modern science on history, eco-systems and current events. Students interact with Terri via realia -- they see a delicate horse fossil close up -- and learn to model wild horse body language for friends as they view images by Pulitzer Prize winning, National Geographic photojournalist Melissa Farlow. Adapted according to grade-level.

Emphasis: fact-checking, evaluating sources, interdependent relationships in eco-systems
