Cut Bank Students use RMR in Classroom By Theron Lee, AnimAL Science
TeAcher, cuT BAnk high SchooL, cuT BAnk, monTAnA Last year I wanted to give my students
the opportunity to stay up with the current market trends and advancements in technology in the animal industry and the auto industry. I created an assignment that is due every month called a Periodical Paper. Each student uses a magazine on that subject, reads it, and writes a two-page summary of the article. This is a great way for me to teach about a subject that the students can see how it is applied in the real world. I called and emailed many nationally-

I really enjoy reading and I am hoping that this passion for reading and learning is passed on to my students, even in a small way, by writing these papers.
26 ROCKY MOUNTAIN RIDER • FEBRUARY 2013 Thank you so much for helping our
students stay current on horse issues and for helping me teach our students to comprehend what they read.
Note: RMR will continue to send magazines to the Cut Bank Animal Science Students in 2013.
