Are cattle prods beneficial for herding cattle, or do they cause more harm than good? Investigate Temple Grandin's claim about animal behavior with a lesson that focuses on pages 20-23 of the first chapter of her book, Animals in Translation. Learners find textual evidence that supports Grandin's central idea, and that connects the ideas to the rest of the chapter.
