ESL Fall Lesson 41 Columbus Day / Indigenous People Day



WARM UP
            
READING

Columbus Day is a US federal holiday that is celebrated on the second Monday of October.

Columbus Day remembers Christopher Columbus' arrival to the Americas on October 12, 1492.

Indigenous Peoples Day is a holiday that celebrates the native peoples of North America. It began as a counter-celebration to Columbus Day.

Indigenous Peoples Day promotes Native American culture and history.

The Columbian Exchange was a widespread exchange of people, crops, and animals between the people of the "Old World" (Europe, Africa, and Asia) and the "New World" (North, Central, and South America)

Tobacco, Cocoa, Maize, Tomatoes, and Potatoes came from the "New World." So do Avocados, Beans, Peanuts, Squash, and Turkeys.

Wheat, Coffee, Horses, Rice, and Sugar came from the "Old World." So do Apples, Bananas, Cattle, Chickens, and Pigs.
