PIRATE WRITING SCHOOL
PIRATE WRITING SCHOOL
Gardens Elementary Fourth Grade
Spring 2007
|
One of our activities was a skit, involving pirates who were obsessed with good grammar and refused to accept inappropriate utterances. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
And the Pirates continued on their merry way, searching for more inadequate grammar users who could be made to walk the plank. |
|
|
The fourth graders were an attentive
audience to a book-reading of How I Became a Pirate (by Melinda Long)
|
We used this as a springboard for writing prompts for a variety of writing projects throughout the week. All of the 'products' were kept in a Pirate portfolio. |
 |

 |
We used incentives such
as Mardi Gras beads, pirate kerchiefs, skull rings and stickers to encourage
the young writers. They had to earn them with their own efforts and skills.
And no one had to walk the plank... |
