TI World Language Materials World Language Connections: Treasure Island Teacher Tidbits The “piratespeak” people try to reproduce today certainly comes from literature and stereotypes; the real thing was probably a mixture of at least English, French, Italian, Spanish and Arabic. There are very few written documents. From what is known and documented about pirate life and culture, one can deduce there would never really have been one language that pirates spoke. This is because piracy has been practiced for hundreds and hundreds of years by seafaring peoples from all over the world, and they didn't exactly band together into one group. Pirates would have spoken languages from the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, India, East Asia, the rest of Europe, North Africa and North America. During what we think of is the ‘Golden Age’ of piracy from the 1600's to the 1800's, pirates from different parts of the world would have developed ways to communicate - just not as one consistent pidgin or creole. There is some discussion in which it was suggested that modern "piratespeak" could be attributed to Robert Newton in the 1950 movie of Treasure Island. Incidentally, he was from the southwest of England, as are the pirates in The Pirates of Penzance, also a possible modern day popular source. So it's fairly plausible that modern "piratespeak" is based on the alleged "Maritime Pidgin English" spoken by pirates who hailed from that part of the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, pirates from everywhere else in the world would have been busy developing their own pidgins based on where they were from, who they traded with, who they raided, and who they took as slaves or hostages. Source: linguistics.stackexchange.com Activity: Code of Conduct While it’s not likely that “workplace rules” were posted around the break room, it is known that the rules of each pirate captain were clearly stated to each member of the crew. There was little ambiguity about acceptable behavior among pirates on a typical pirate ship. When a rule was breached, the crew was often without pity or remorse in punishing a guilty crew member. Although in cases of particularly useful pirates such as skillful fighters, exceptions to breeches in rules were inevitably made. Below, a sample code of conduct is provided as well as come vocabulary words that might help define the rules. Sample Code of Conduct: 1. Every man shall obey civil command; the Captain shall have one full share and a half in all prizes; the Master, Carpenter, Boatswain and Gunner shall have one share and quarter. 2. If any man shall offer to run away, or keep any secret from the company, he shall be marooned with one bottle of powder, one bottle of water, one small arm and shot (ammunition). 3. If any man shall steel any thing in the company, or game, to the value of a piece of eight, he shall be marooned or shot. 4. Any man that shall strike another whilst these articles are in force shall receive Mose's Law (that is 39 stripes) on the bare back. Created by: Supported by: World Language Connections: Treasure Island 5. Any man that shall snap his arms (guns/weapons), or smoke tobacco in the hold, be found without a cap to his pipe, or carry a candle lighted without a lanthorn, shall suffer the same punishment as in the former article. 6. Any man that shall not keep his arms clean, fit for an engagement, or neglect his business, shall be cut off from his share, and suffer such other punishment as the Captain and the company shall think fit. 7. If at any time you meet with a prudent woman, any man that offers to meddle with her, without her consent, shall suffer present death. Source: www.piratesinfo.com Vocabulary: • Arms - guns and/or weapons • Boatswain - an unlicensed member of the deck department of a ship. The boatswain supervises the other unlicensed members of the ship's deck department, and typically is not a someone trusted to stand watch. • Marooned - the intentional leaving of someone in a remote area, such as an uninhabited island. • A piece of eight - The Spanish dollar - a silver coin that was minted in the Spanish Empire in 1497. • Hold - the ship’s cargo area. • Lanthorn - a lantern Have your class create their own Code of Conduct; then translate it into "piratespeak." There are a few websites that can help with the translations, but do be aware that they are commercial sites and may need to be previewed by an adult. One site that works well is http://postlikeapirate.com. Activity: Your Pirate Name Have your class create their own name in “piratespeak.” There are website sources, but navigating sites for child friendly names can be tricky. Here’s a simpler child-friendly translation that is fun and safe! Resource: magicalchildhood.wordpress.com 1. Pick three numbers, each one ranging from 1-10 (you can use the same number more than once). If you’d like a boy pirate name, pick a number between 1-5 for the last number. If you’d like a girl pirate name, choose a number between 6 and 10 for the last number. 2. Then find the word that corresponds from each list: First word: Second Word Third Word 1. Big 1. Eye 1. Bob 2. Long 2. Boot 2. Willy 3. Blue 3. Belly 3. Bart 4. Jolly 4. Finger 4. Bill 5. Red 5. Leg 5. Kid 6. Cold 6. Ear 6. Ann 7. Green 7. Mouth 7. Bonny 8. One 8. Tooth 8. Gert 9. Black 9. Lip 9. Sue 10. Stump 10. Foot 10. Bess For instance, 147 would be Big Finger Bonny; 752 would be Green Leg Willy; and so on. Feel free to make up your own lists!

One comment which really stuck in my memory was a gentleman describing how he had always wanted to sing at school but had been told he was not good enough, and how he was grateful now for the opportunity (Seth Richardson, Project Manager). 2 Summary Opera Holland Park’s The Pirates of Penzance has proven to be an extremely successful pilot intergenerational project for KS2 primary school children (Year 5) and individuals with varying forms and stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Part-funded by Public Health, two KS2 year 5 classes from St Charles Primary School (RBKC) and service users from a nearby Alzheimer’s day centre, Chamberlain House, enjoyed a variety of activities based around popular themes and music from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance, culminating with a performance of the operetta delivered by a professional cast of opera singers. Participants took part in a series of workshops, both independently and jointly, with children from St Charles Primary School travelling to Chamberlain house for combined sessions.

    1 Transcript Episode Title: Marooned in Matamoros, Part 1 Show: Post Reports Publisher: The Washington Post Publish Date: 7/22/21 MARTINE: Hey, it’s Martine. Today, we are airing the first episode of our two-part series “Marooned in Matamoros.” It is a riveting story that takes twists and turns… and it comes from reporter Arelis Hernández, as well as Post Reports editor and producer Ted Muldoon, who's taking the reins today as host. And just a warning, this story contains descriptions of a violent crime and mentions of sexual assault. So, here we go. [THEME IN] TED: From the newsroom of The Washington Post, this is Post Reports. I’m Ted Muldoon, in for Martine Powers. [THEME OUT] ARELIS: Hello! TED: Hello hello. And you are recording? ARELIS: I am indeed recording. Arelis Hernández is recording. TED: That's going to be useful. Thank you for that. [Laughs] ARELIS: [Laughs] TED: That’s Arelis Hernández. She covers immigration and Texas for The Post. So Arelis, today we have the first episode in a two-part series that you've been working on for the last year. ARELIS: God, it's been a year. Yes. TED: And I've been following you along the way, recording check-ins with you, asking you questions as you go through this kind of reporting process and what you've been doing, is you've been following this woman named Nancy. She fled El Salvador with her two children and came to the United States seeking asylum. But when she got here, she found herself stuck in Mexico in this sort of migrant camp for over a year now, while she's tried to plead her case.

  • The Principality of Hutt River
    THE PRINCIPALITY OF HUTT RIVER A Territory Marooned in the Western Australian Outback [ReceiveD November 3rD 2017; accepteD January 15th 2018 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.12.1.13] Vicente Bicudo de Castro <[email protected]> Deakin University Ralph Kober <[email protected]> Monash University ABSTRACT: This article recounts the story of Hutt River Province, later establisheD as the Principality of Hutt River (PHR), unDer the administration of LeonarD George Casley (1970-2017). We highlight the international relations of the principality, its reliance on tourism, anD its relationship with Australian taxation authorities. Casley createD his own principality within the Western Australian outback anD glaDly marooneD himself in his very own creation. We thus extenD the notion of aislamiento to remote geographically isolateD environments, illustrating the deeply social anD political nature of aislamiento. KEYWORDS: Aislamiento, Hutt River Province, IslanDness, Micronations, Western Australia. Introduction No man is an island Entire of itself Every man is a piece of the continent (John Donne, 1624) While Donne noteD that no man is an islanD, in this article we explore whether a man can create a (virtual) islanD anD remove himself from his surrounDing continent. This article recounts the story of Hutt River Province, later establisheD as the Principality of Hutt River (PHR), unDer the administration of LeonarD George Casley. The objective of this article is to proviDe a concise recorD of the creation of the principality in 1970, anD what has happeneD since its inception until Casley abDicateD in favour of his youngest son in 2017. Using the concept of aislamiento, a Spanish term that extenDs the notional of geographical islanDness to that of socio-psychological isolation (AnDersen, 2016: 33)(AnDerson, 2016: 33), the principality is portrayeD as a place marooneD in the Western Australian outback, desiring to become isolateD from the Australian Commonwealth.
