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 />
