Ahoy, mateys!
There are many different ways that the world can be brought together. One of the more creative attempts at bridging cultures is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Established in 1995 by two guys who, frankly, thought the world could use a little more pirate lingo, September 19th is dedicated to putting a little more "Arrrr" in your day. For more information, including suggestions for pirate fun and games, pirate lingo, a pirate FAQ, and more pirate links than you can fire a cannon at, visit the Talk Like a Pirate website.
Avast! Here in the SERC Library we have an excellent resource that focuses on...you guessed it...pirates! Multiple Intelligences Centers and Projects by Carolyn Chapman and Lynn Freeman (IM 370.1523 CHA) features a host of classroom centered pirate activities that are specifically designed to work with multiple intelligences. Check out this little treasure the next time your ship docks at the Ole Port o' SERC Library!
Happy Swashbuckling,
