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

lyrics for the final verse below to the Pilgrims Song Chart. Place<br />

Image Card 19 (Thanksgiving Feast) about the new verse.<br />

Students have now learned several song verses to help reinforce<br />

the story of the Pilgrims. Using Image Cards 15, 16, and 18, review<br />

each of the following verses with the students:<br />

I’m a Separatist and I believe<br />

The Church of England is not for me.<br />

I meet with my good friends to secretly pray<br />

Now we’ve decided to move away.<br />

I am the Mayflower. I’m the ship<br />

To take the Pilgrims on their trip.<br />

They are sailing west to the colonies<br />

So they can worship as they please.<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 />

Divide students into three groups: Separatists, Mayflower, and<br />

Plymouth Rock, and assign to each group its corresponding verse.<br />

Have them decide how to perform their assigned verse for the class.<br />
