World.

He arrived in 1508, after seeing the island in
1493
while traveling with Christopher Columbus.

Teaching Suggestions
DEVELOPING LEARNERS
r
To visually reinforce the vocabulary for the
parts of a house (and the information about
the house presented in the reading), you may
want to ask students to draw the layout of
the rooms as they imagine it based on the
description in the diary.
EXPANDING LEARNERS
r
Have students write a letter back to the
author of the diary. They can write it from
the point of view of a Taino adolescent who
lives in a
bohío
. (
Information found in the
Conexiones
reading.) What kind of
information would they exchange?
