A Pirate’s Tale
Writing Workshop for Grades 3-5
Ahoy, mates! Turn
your mutinous crew into writers with A Pirate’s Tale. Writing is
smooth sailing when Author, Mary Maden is at the helm. Set sail
on a rollicking, fun filled Writing Adventure in this
Pirate-themed workshop. Ms. Maden, aka Captain Maden,
(In Pirate Costume) will steer your students through the
uncharted––and sometimes scary waters of creative writing.
Your students are Shanghaied by
the Terror of the Seas himself––Blackbeard the pirate. Your
students are now part of the literary crew aboard the famous
pirate flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge. They have direct
orders to help the legendary Blackbeard make his story, A
Pirate’s Tale, a rousing success. Only problem is–-Blackbeard
isn’t much of a writer!
If Blackbeard’s new crew fails
at their task, they may face the famous pirate’s wrath–– and a
long walk on a short plank!
Will your students Sink or Swim? Find out in this fun-filled
workshop––
