Class Work

1. Cinderella Day - Watch and learn from each other.

• Each group will present. All must participate.
• Take notes. (Sheet provided)

2.  It's time to adopt a monster!

Speaking of monsters . . . what monsters do you know of? (Brainstorm at your table. Do a quick search for pictures/illustrations of these monsters. Also, see what written  information is available. Create an annotated list of links. (List the link - tell what you found there - one submission per table.)


This site has some "monster" information. You might find it interesting. Peruse it for homework.

Now, pick a monster, any monster, from literature or film. Read all that you can about that monster. Interview three friends or classmates to see what, if anything, they know about your monster. (You just adopted a monster!) Be ready to introduce your monster to the class next Tuesday. Prepare a poster or PowerPoint to use to describe the monster.  Be sure to tell us:

• The name of the monster.
• What the monster looks like.
• Where the monster originated.
• Where the monster lives.
• The size of the monster.
• Special abilities of the monster.
• Why the monster is famous or should be.
• Hardships faces by the monster.
• What the monster has done to become famous
• How to avoid or kill the monster

Have a bit of fun with this. We will share next Tuesday. Don't forget to bring your monster! Post in CANVAS by Tuesday, October 14, 2014.
