Instructional Ideas

• During an independent reading period, give pupils the option to listen to the story using a device with headphones 
• Before reading the last part, come up with a story ending as a class, individually, or in small groups
• If your class has a particular interest in pirates, gather a collection of pirate-themed books for them to read when time permits 

Classroom Considerations

• The duration reflects an estimated completion time of all five parts; some parts may be longer or shorter in length
• Contains language that may not be suitable for your set of learners, listen to the story to confirm its level of appropriateness 

Pros

• The topic of the story is popular with many children
• Allows listeners to download the audio file
• Comes with a transcript for readers to follow along

Cons

• Webpage contains ads and comments made by other users
