Heroism, Humanism & Hijinks: Literature in Action, Week 11, Period 5 (Danger Shop)

[OOC: Summary for Treasure Island.]

When the students entered the Danger Shop, they would have found themselves on the deck of a large sailing ship. There was only a slight rolling of the ship, but people with sensitive stomachs might have felt a little bit queasy.

"Welcome to the Hispaniola. Captain Flint couldn't make it, but this is an approximation of his ship. We're going treasure hunting, but in order to understand what our protagonists had to do before they could get on with the story, we'll be planning our own venture. Then you can play pirates."

Activity One - Draw Your Treasure Map

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Draw your own treasure map. Feel free to swipe one off the internet or use this (http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/).

Molly drew an island (http://pics.livejournal.com/bruiser_in_pink/pic/00007ffp) with sheer cliffs almost all the way around, high mountains, jungles, swamps, dragons... oh, and a treasure, of course.

Layla quickly sketched out a treasure map (http://www.ktnb.net/ljicons/treasuremap.jpg). Yes, her ocean had trees. Every good map had trees on it.

Alec drew his map (http://pics.livejournal.com/x5_alec/pic/00010t85) quickly. He figured there should be some good obstacles, if there was treasure at the end.

Door decides her pirate ship should sail really far south.

Hamlet drew out a treasure map (http://pics.livejournal.com/ihatedenmark/pic/00013dgw). It was only after finishing that he noticed that it somehow looked familiar.

Billy drew an island in habited by pirates (http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/salmon/969/Cobra_Island/cobra_isle.htm). The Treasure was likely in a landlocked slave ship called the black rock galleon near mountain in the center.

Z drew a map. She didn't think it was that great, but hopefully it would pass muster.

It's possible Z needs more female friends.

Activity Three - Goof Off

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

You're on a ship. There are bandanas, eyepatches and plastic hook arms. Goof off and play pirate!

Re: Activity Three - Goof Off

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron was more than a little bit bouncy to be on a pirate ship. Eyepatches were a bit done on Fandom, so he just grabbed a bandana and started climbing into the rigging.

Re: Activity Three - Goof Off

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly put a bandana on over her hat and grabbed a hook arm. "ARRR and avast! Swab that deck or I'll keelhaul ye'!"

Re: Activity Three - Goof Off

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec took all three, putting on the bandana, then the eyepatch, before holding the plastic hook out and waving it like a sword. "Arr!"

Talk to Thursday
