Introducing the <strong>Read</strong>-<strong>Aloud</strong><br />

Further Adventures of<br />

Christopher Columbus<br />

5A<br />

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 />
