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 />
