TASK 3 "I wish I was a pirate" by Tony Bradman

Hi Miss! I enjoyed working with this poem, and I love pirates too. I chose to dress like one and use realia in the form of a "cutlass" sword and an eye patch. I also used my video editing skills to add some images to help my students understand the vocabulary. I would teach this poem by representing it in class, and with the help of a projector or through UA-cam show them this video. I only dressed once as a lumberjack to teach little red riding hood and my kids loved it, I'm sure they will be amazed to see a video of their teacher dressed as a pirate!
I Wish I Was a Pirate
by Tony Bradman
I wish I was a pirate
With a long beard hanging down,
A cutlass dangling from my belt,
My teeth all black and brown.
A parrot on my shoulder,
A patch upon one eye,
A pirate ship to sail on,
A pirate flag to fly.
The rolling waves would be my home,
I’d live through many wrecks.
I’d always have the best of maps -
The ones marked with an X!
Pirates don’t have parents,
They don’t get sent to school.
They never have to take a bath,
For them, there are no rules.
Yo-ho-ho me hearties!
It’s a pirate’s life for me …
Pistols in my pockets,
Salt-pork for my tea!
