Introducing the <strong>Read</strong>-<strong>Aloud</strong><br />

9A<br />

10 minutes<br />

What Have We Already Learned?<br />

Note: Prior to the lesson, it is recommended that you add the lyrics<br />

for the new verse below to the Pilgrims Song Chart. Post Image<br />

Card 18 (Landing at Plymouth Rock) above the new verse.<br />

Show image 8A-2: Landing at Plymouth Rock<br />

Review the previous read-aloud in which the Pilgrims landed<br />

at Plymouth Rock, working hard to build a new colony. Remind<br />

students that you will start off each day by repeating the song<br />

from the day before, to review what they have learned. As you<br />

point to Image Card 18, sing the following to the tune of “I’m a<br />

Little Teapot,” and then have them sing it with you a second time:<br />

I am Plymouth Rock and some folks say<br />

The Pilgrims stepped on me one day.<br />

Don’t know if that’s true but I do know<br />

That I’m the place where tourists go.<br />

Purpose for Listening<br />

<strong>Tell</strong> students that the title of today’s read-aloud is “Thanksgiving.”<br />

<strong>Tell</strong> them that today they are going to hear a story about what<br />

many people consider to be the first Thanksgiving in America.<br />

They should listen carefully to find out who celebrated the first<br />

Thanksgiving and why we still celebrate Thanksgiving in America<br />

today.<br />
