« Speech schedules | Main | Pirate unit ends »

Over the last couple of weeks we have been talking about pirates in preparation for reading "Treasure Island." We are reading this story in play form from the Scope magazine. So far we have filled out KWL charts about what we Know, Want to Know, and Learned about Pirates. It's interesting what the students already know! The popularity of the pirate movie this summer and the fictional character Jack Sparrow have helped the students describe and talk about pirates. We have also created a vocabulary list and played vocabulary jeopardy.

We started reading the play this week and will continue into next week, if necessary. At home, you can ask your students about pirates and what they have learned.
