Pirate Notebook pictures

This is the cover. superboy designed and made his own Jolly Roger. The notebook itself is just a file folder  covered in black construction paper.

 

Inside the fron tcover is glued the treasure map. This was so much fun to make. To the right is Scurvy Dog's Journal, printed on parchment paper, hole punched and threaded with black cord. He wanted the journal to be removable (to show it off!), so this is why we bound it seperately. It ended up being 8 pages (not including cover and map) of the best writing Superboy has ever done. I think he has a right to be proud of it!

 

We added the "Articles of Conduct"(with signatures of all the pirates) into the journal, as well as his map of the Carribean islands.

 

If you move the journal aside, you can see that attached to the back cover are several pages of his work, including these pictures of his pirate ships, the Cutlass (a sloop) and the Hangman's Noose (a Brigandtine).

Here you can see additional pages attached to the back cover. You can just lift them to see them all-maybe 10 or 12 different activities he did, including his report on scurvy and some news articles about modern-day pirates off the coast of Africa. This is a picture of a ship with the parts all labeled.

If you lift all the pages you see glued to the inside back cover a wanted poster Superboy printed up after doing a fun online pirate activity. He added his pirate name and the name of his ship.


This is a puzzle we made, put together and then glued to the outside back cover.

That's it! Every notebook we make is different, depending on the materials Superboy has produced, and how we decide is the best way to display them. This was by far the most fun and most productive time we've ever had homeschooling. I hope we can come close again!

If you want to see pics of our other notebooks, you can see them at my old blog.
