Pirates & Homeschooling I liked the time we studied about pirates. I was reading the book Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's an adventure story about a boy, buried treasure, and pirates. We looked up pirates on the Internet. We found lots of pirate web sites. They told about famous pirates and the history of pirates. I learned about the foods they ate, the names of pirates, pirate sayings, and pirate flags. Some sites even had images, maps, and sound clips. My mom found a complete teaching unit for Treasure Island on the Internet. It had vocabulary words, comprehension questions, a map of the island, a diagram of all the parts of a schooner, a list of books, related activities and projects, and links to other web sites. On my birthday I had a pirate party. I dressed up like a pirate. We made paper pirate hats. We had a treasure hunt, a treasure chest piñata, a cake with a skull and crossbones on it. We listened to old sailing songs. My dad put a Jolly Roger flag up on top of his sailboat mast. It was fun learning about pirates!
