10 minutes<br />
What Have We Already Learned?<br />
Note: Prior to the lesson, it is recommended that you add the<br />
lyrics for the new verse below to the Columbus Song Chart. Post<br />
Image Card 8 (Natives Watch Columbus) above the new verse.<br />
Begin your review by asking students to retell the main details<br />
they learned about Columbus thus far. Use the Image Cards<br />
and accompanying song verses that you have posted from the<br />
previous lessons to guide the retelling. If students have difficulty,<br />
ask questions to guide them and have them utilize the globe in<br />
their retelling.<br />

Now review the read-aloud from the previous lesson, in which<br />
Columbus was very happy because he thought he had reached<br />
the Indies in Asia. Remind students that when Columbus began<br />
exploring, he didn’t find as much gold as he expected.<br />
Remind students that you have started each day learning a new<br />
song verse to review what they learned in the previous read-aloud.<br />
As you point to Image Card 8, ask students to listen to the fourth<br />
verse to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know <strong>It</strong>,” and then<br />
have them sing it with you the second time:<br />
Columbus said that he had found the Indies.<br />
Columbus said that he had found the Indies.<br />
He went looking for lots of gold,<br />
But he had no luck, we’re told.<br />
‘Cause he didn’t really sail to the Indies.<br />
Emphasize that Columbus did not find Asia or the Indies, but an<br />
entirely different continent and group of people. Show his route<br />
