- Pick a role to play: you'll need a
navigator (someone to get you to the information you need),
a
lawyer (someone to do the writing)
and a pirate (someone to steal the information you need) - You can swap roles each lesson to make it fair.
Are you in your groups? You are nearly ready to begin your journey!

Now you have everything you need to start pirate hunting!
Your navigator will click on the links below to hunt for the clues.
The questions should let you know what the lawyer and pirate are looking for.

looking for. You could try copying in the words that look like this
