Introducing the <strong>Read</strong>-<strong>Aloud</strong><br />
10 minutes<br />
What Have We Already Learned?<br />
Note: Prior to the lesson, it is recommended that you create<br />
a Columbus Song Chart on chart paper, a chalkboard, or a<br />
whiteboard by writing the lyrics from the song introduced in the<br />
previous lesson, as well as the new verse from today’s lesson. The<br />
lyrics are printed below for your convenience. Post Image Cards 1<br />
and 2 above each of the two verses, respectively.<br />
Show image 1A-5: Giovanni and Sophia talking<br />
Begin by asking students why people from Europe wanted to<br />
travel to the Indies in Asia five hundred years ago. Ask, “What<br />
kinds of things were people like the families of Giovanni and<br />
Sophia seeking?” (gold, beautiful cloth, and spices)<br />
Show image 1A-6: Land route closed<br />
Continue by reviewing how Europeans could not get to Asia by<br />
traveling east. Ask, “Who remembers why they couldn’t get to Asia<br />
by walking and by riding animals?” (The land route was closed.)<br />
Using the globe from the earlier demonstrations, have a student<br />
volunteer point out the land route, being sure to identify the<br />
continents of Europe and Asia. Point to Image Card 1 (Land Route<br />
Closed), and review the song’s first verse introduced in Lesson 2,<br />
which is sung to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know <strong>It</strong>”:<br />
Eastern Asia had a lot of gold and spice.<br />
Eastern Asia had a lot of gold and spice.<br />
But it was a distant land,<br />
Miles and miles across the sand.<br />
<strong>It</strong> was difficult to get the gold and spice.<br />
