Ahoy!As some of you may know, today, September 19th, is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Here at Prestwick House, an occasional "arrr" or "avast" can be heard throughout the office.
You're probably wondering what this has to do with teaching or English language arts. Thanks to some great information posted on the official web site for International Talk Like a Pirate Day, you too can partake in a fun pirate-themed day and make it educational for your students! The site lists pirate curriculum and lesson plans (and links) from other teachers, including:
- 4th to 6th grade language arts lesson plans
- Some world history, social studies, and math lesson plans (you could share with other teachers)
- A Talk Like a Pirate Day lesson plan based on Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
Perhaps you could show the video of Treasure Island, or begin using our Teaching Unit which includes nautical, pirate and general vocabulary, a multiple choice and short essay test, as well as discussion questions.
International Talk Like a Pirate Day is already upon us, but now you can start planning for next year's events, even if yer a landlubber!
