What's the big deal? We've already learned about this guy.
The goal of this introductory day is to explore what students know from what they've been taught and have read over the last eight years of their education. This will be an opportunity for the students to take the reigns on learning and decide which direction the class will head based on their previous knowledge. This class period will be mainly class discussion mixed with some light reading. The goal of this lesson is to get the students thinking about and remembering what they already know from previous knowledge. They will then use this information to recall what facts are missing and gain a curiosity for what really happened on Columbus's voyage and settlement in the New World.
