The Treasure Island Unit runs approximately seven weeks, six weeks if the Research Week during Week One is skipped. This is the optional Research Week.
Students select either a pirate or a piratical subject to study.
Give out pocket folders to keep all work and book throughout the seven weeks. Nothing should be thrown away as parents will be looking at and responding to the folder. See the Parent Letter page. Use 2-3 days to do research and organize the information. Friday is usually the presentation day and students may dress like pirates to present.
