Finally, a Writing Series that Engages Boys!
Use the Five Writing Superpower approach and help your child succeed in writing by using:
Creative brainstorming-builds a bridge from brain to paper Pre-writing -helps to organize an irresistible story Free writing - writing without the fear of criticism unleashes the storyteller Theme immersion - fun activities springboard into a writing adventure Gentle grading-builds confidence, giving permission to be a child with incremental development
Using these five tools creates a "writing adventure" instead of a dull writing lesson. After 15 years of teaching Creative Writing, I have discovered when using these superpowers, even the most reluctant writer will dive into the writing pool!
In this book sail along with your favorite pirate cap'n (maybe Long John Silver or Jack Sparrow-you decide!) and search for the buried treasure. Students learn pirate lingo and how to make up a funny pirate name. Then create a pirate crew and ship of their very own to launch out and search for the buried treasure. Students will love creating their own pirate tales to write about as they learn the writing process step by step creating characters, setting, and plot. Students learn to use literary tools like onomatopoeia and interjections along with strong verbs and dialogue. This book contains12 easy lessons lasting 45-60 minutes each to be used once or twice a week. The adventure ends with a flashlight pirate party and treasure map pizza. Perfect for reluctant writers! Works great for teaching multiple grades at once. 3rd-6th grade
Includes:
Make a pirate hat and hook Make your own pirate code Dress up like a pirate for the day Make "walk the plank" Jello cups Role play hunting for buried treasure Bake a pirate map pizza
