I was thinking on how I could promote talk like a pirate day and I put together a set of flashcards about pirates, organised by the alphabet. While the words are based on an alphabet song, the development of the flashcards is unrelated to owners of the original video, which is included in the PowerPoint. I have added a second presentation to explain 31 different ways you could use these photo flashcards in the classroom. I have also added some pirate writing prompts to encourage your class to do a little creative writing. You could look at it directly as a presentation and repeat the letters together. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about the Pirate Alphabet. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different Pirate activities. The students can then discuss what they think about each word. Can they think of a better pirate word? The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
