The students wanted to create a story about a pirate. They discussed who would play the lead roles and who would be the narrator.

They decided who was taking on the different jobs. The teachers helped by providing the materials students requested. Here is the story.

A group of students decided to create their own ‘Pirate Story’. They wrote the script together, created the props, decided on the characters and actors, and performed for their peers. They had to work together, negotiate and solve problems as they practiced.
