🧰Materials Needed
πŸ“„ Story printout / PPT πŸ“ Student Worksheet 🎲 Secret Task Cards πŸͺ™ Gold Doubloon Points πŸ–️ Coloured pencils πŸ–₯️ Board / projector
πŸ“‹Lesson Procedure
πŸ”₯ Warm-Up — "The Pirate Says…" ⏱ 5–7 min
  • Play a twist on "Simon Says." Call out: "Pirates swim!" / "Pirates look through binoculars!" / "Pirates sleep!"
  • Students mime the action only if you use the third-person plural. If you say "I swim" → they freeze!
  • Afterwards, write the verbs on the board: swim, look, sleep, polish, guard, hide. Ask: "Can these be daily routines?"
πŸ“– Presentation — Read the Story ⏱ 10 min
  • Read Part 1 aloud with expression — optional pirate accent! 🏴‍☠️
  • After Part 1, pause for the Interactive Choice: "Does she walk to the beach or sail her ship?" — class vote → drill both sentences.
  • Read Parts 2 & 3 and highlight the updated joke:
πŸ’¬ Captain Coral asks: "What do sea monsters eat for lunch?" Pip shrugs his claws. Barnaby screams: "Fish and ships!" 🦜
  • Underline the grammar pattern on the board: She polishes / She does not move / Does she…?
🎲 Practice — Secret Map Routines Game ⏱ 10 min
  • Divide class into Pirate Crews of 3–4. Give each crew a Secret Task Card with 3 Present Simple actions (e.g. climb a tree, look for a key, open a box).
  • Crew acts out their routine silently. Other crews guess by shouting full sentences: "She climbs a tree!"
  • Scoring: +10 Gold Doubloons for each correct sentence · +5 for excellent acting.
  • After each round, write a student sentence on the board → elicit the negative: "She does not open a box — she opens a chest!"
✏️ Production — Worksheet Tasks ⏱ 10–12 min
  • Students complete the worksheet individually (comprehension, T/F, fill-in, Design-a-Pirate-Helper).
  • Circulate and prompt: "Can you make a negative sentence?" / "Try using 'every day' or 'every morning'."
  • Early finishers add a speech bubble for their pirate animal helper using any vocabulary word.
🌟 Wrap-Up & Exit Ticket ⏱ 5 min
  • Each student shares ONE sentence about their pirate helper: "My helper is a turtle. It does not fly. It guards the treasure."
  • Exit Ticket: Write on the board → students copy and complete before leaving: "Every day, I ______. I do not ______."
  • Award final Doubloon tally → announce the Pirate Champion Crew! πŸ†
⚖️Differentiation
Support (A1→A2) Core (A2) Extension (A2→B1)
Provide a word bank for all written tasks; allow L1 definitions for new vocabulary. Complete all worksheet tasks independently using the story as a reference. Write 3+ sentences about their own daily routine using the same Present Simple structures.

πŸ“–Read the Story
⚓ Part 1 — The Morning Routine Every morning, the sun rises over Blue Lagoon Island. Captain Coral wakes up at 6:00 AM. She does not look like a scary pirate — she wears a bright green hat and smiles a lot! First, she drinks coconut juice. Then, she polishes her favourite golden key. "Barnaby!" she calls to her pet parrot. "Where is the treasure map?" Barnaby flips his wings: "In the kitchen! In the kitchen!"
⚓ Part 2 & 3 — The Daily Quest & Afternoon Habit Captain Coral and Barnaby walk to the beach. They look for a hidden chest every day — full of Eternal Chocolate Coins! A friendly crab named Pip guards the chest. He does not move until he hears a funny joke.
πŸ’¬ Captain Coral asks: "What do sea monsters eat for lunch?" Pip shrugs his claws. Barnaby screams: "Fish and ships!" 🦜
Pip laughs and steps aside. Captain Coral uses her golden key to open the heavy chest. Inside, the chocolate coins shine in the sun. Every afternoon, she shares the chocolate with the island monkeys — they say thank you by dancing! At 8:00 PM, she hides the chest in a new secret spot and goes to sleep.
