Wow. Riley has some huge classes this year! Today was pretty easy – we started off by taking a survey in LMS – you can find it in the First Day folder – So You Wanna be  Pirate.

Then, she talked about how she is running her classroom as a roleplaying game – she won’t give “grades” – she’ll give experience points for you to level. She’s also going to give out what every pirate wants – BOOTY! Well, Booty Cards, that is. She let us know that as long as we do out work in class that we have nothing to fear – except her smelly feet, that is. Basically, her class is time management – use it wisely!

We did a character sheet – we talked about archetypes, nature and demeanor, and rated ourselves. You’ll need to print these bad boys from LMS, but they are there. Just make sure to print back and front.

After we did that, we did a Matching Game over five words that we learned today: Martyr, Curmudgeon, Architect, Conniver, and Deviant. If you weren’t here, Riley has a few copies left over, and you can also print this from LMS.

We didn’t get all of our work done today, so let’s make sure that we hustle tomorrow! Also, she’ll be looking for other people to take over Scribes to earn extra credit!

Arrr!
