Pirate of the day is a great interactive writing activity we share in room 113. A new pirate is chosen every day; they tell us what is important to them and information we may not know. We always spell the popcorn words correctly, because these are words we should know. The students help me stretch the other words and to listen to the sounds. My friends use sound gestures and I choose a friend to share the letter that makes the sound. When we are finished writing about the pirate, everyone goes for a popcorn word hunt. Once we have found all the popcorn words, we count them and discuss how to build that number. The pirate gets to illustrate a picture at the bottom of the chart while the other students make connections and write a message for the pirate. Each pirate gets thier own book full of the messages other friends wrote.
