“Classic swashbuckling pirate adventure. It is amazing how much of the popular understanding of pirates came from this book. ”

katherine d wrote this review 13 days ago. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“I first read this when I was twelve years old. Kids love a good pirate story, and this classic is THE definitive pirate story. Any unit study of seventeenth-century Europe or the age of pirates should include this book. The possibilities here are endless. The class can have a "pirate day" in which they can don pirate-ish regalia and speak with their best "aarr!". They can make eye patches, pirate hats, and paper parrots to roost on their shoulders. I would have students write a series of clues to hidden treasures, which their classmates would follow and find. I would have them role-play and tell each other tales of their adventures on the high seas, then write down the stories they have made up. The class would create word banks from the book relating to life aboard ship and seventeenth-century living. Students would build miniature sailing ships to use in a science lesson about wind, friction, and surface area. Any number of literacy strategies can be used here to great effect.”
