If you're teaching literature about the Old West, here's an idea that might help you introduce the unit to high school students. An idea that I had and used successfully was to show a tape of an original Lone Ranger episode with the sound off. The students were to take brief notes, listing what they thought was happening. We then discussed their ideas before I showed them the episode with the sound. So, 'with a cloud of dust and a mighty hi-ho, Silver,' have fun!
