 [15:04] Izabel Kophee: Do you have any special pirate skills?

What skills would a pirate need to do a bit of good old plundering....? That’s a question!!

First things first. What does it mean to plunder?

It means to steal things from a village or another ship for example. To plunder something properly you need to use violence. That’s an essential ingredient. But if you don’t feel like a pirate today, it would be enough if you just plunder your fridge for example....midnight is the best time...))))

Anyway back to pirates. They need to be sneaky – do things in an unfair way. Need to carry a sword have an eye patch and a parrot at least!

After clearing up how we need to behave as pirates we set off on a real boat called The Blake Pearl. We headed to the Global Village.

We were supposed to find one item in the Global Village that we would like to plunder and then explain why as you can see from the questions below.

1. Why would you like this item more than any other?

2. What purpose does this item serve?

3. How will this item advance your pirating career?

4. What do you think the value of your item is?

5. What does this item symbolize to you?

We ended up with an elephant, because it was cute, with a jaguar the animal because it was dangerous, a black cab to do some more plundering inland etc.

We all had lots and lots fun.
