Pirate+Handbook


 * __ Create a Pirate Handbook/ Articles of Agreement __**

A handbook is often used in an organization to help people understand the rules, procedures and policies that everybody will agree to. It’s a basic summary that describes how things work for that group.

Think of your student handbook. What is in it? What does it describe? What are the sections?

Now, imagine that you are organizing a pirate crew. You have a ship. You know where you are going. And right now you are in the process of hiring a crew. Using the information you’ve gathered from **__the green articles__** we’ve read, your assignment is to create a handbook for all the new pirates you will be sailing with.

You can use your student handbook (the blue sheets in your planner) as a model, but you must include:


 * Pirate language. Remember your audience. This is written for pirates, by a pirate. You have to speak their language.
 * A cover page – this will include a title, the name of your ship, and an image (symbol) of the Jolly Roger you will fly under. This is not the same Jolly Roger you already created.
 * A table of contents
 * An introduction page—this page will include a paragraph or two summarizing and describing the purpose of the handbook.
 * 4 sections (minimum) of rules, procedures and/or policies. You might include things related to conduct, fighting, who’s in charge, jobs (division of labor), food, punishments, division of treasure, compensation for injury, etc . . ..
 * A conclusion page.

The above bullet points are the requirements for this assignment. Anything above and beyond that (illustrations, additional sections) will be extra credit.

You may type this, but that is not required. Pirates didn’t use computers (or typewriters).
