a picture of galley slaves
Good morning! I brought a picture to show you today. What is
this picture showing? (Show the picture and let them answer.)
Yes, these are what they call "galley slaves." In the old days,
big oars propelled these ships that were called galleys. They
chained the slaves to these oars, and they had to row as fast as
they were told. They had no control over their lives. They had to
do what the master wanted them to do, and in most cases they did
this until they died. Wouldn't that be a terrible way to live?
