Here are the teacher pack items for European Exploration and Settlement: Vocabulary:
Overview In this experience, students interact with vocabulary words that they will encounter throughout Unit 2: European Exploration and Settlement. Estimated duration: 30 minutes Vocabulary words: Objective
The European Age of Exploration arose after the development of new tools that enabled long-distance travel, especially across the oceans. Exploration was fueled by the desire to find new trade routes and discover new lands in order to bring wealth and glory to the European rulers. Some of the explorers found their way to Texas. You will learn about the Age of Exploration and the colonization of Texas in this unit.
Objective
This lesson builds your vocabulary with words you will use in this unit. The words are:
Let’s start with the word friar. Look at the photograph shown above of a modern-day friar. Now review the words to a popular children’s nursery rhyme about a friar named Brother John:
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John,
Morning bells are ringing! Morning bells are ringing!
Ding, dong, dong. Ding, dong, dong.
Based on the photograph and the nursery rhyme, make a prediction what a friar is or what a friar does.
Students may borrow from the definition given at the beginning of this scene: a religious representative of the Franciscan order of the Catholic Church. In this unit students will learn about the friars who served as missionaries at the Spanish missions in Texas.
