Title: The Centerpiece to a Great Unit On Pirates
Review: I used this book as my centerpiece to a school unit on Pirates (a "just for fun" unit). I inducted all the students into pirate school and we read about Maisie's adventures.The students enjoyed the illustrations immensely and we all practiced our pirate speech and "manners". Aargh! The best part is the ending (Spoiler alert!): Maisie is a girl -- this drew in my female students who thought we were heading into "boy time". We then re-read the book, knowing now that it was about a girl, and had a meaningful discussion about gender roles.Following Captain Abdul, we then used a variety of books (including DK's Pirate book) to learn about real pirates...it made for several fun afternoons.
