A Pirate's Life DBQ
Let's face it - pirates are cool and fun! With recent popular culture, though, it gets harder to separate the fact from the fiction. In this DBQ young teens are challenged to read primary sources and draw their own conclusions about what a pirate (or privateer!) may have faced in their life, compared to the everyday colonial-era person.
We explore the definitions of pirate, privateer and buccaneer, where they hung out, and why the life - although dangerous! - was lucrative and free.
