Class Work
It's story time! You will hear five Cinderella stories. Please fill in the chart for each. (handout)

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.) (Four or five per group.)

 

Homework: It's time to look for a monster to adopt!

This site has some "monster" information. Peruse it for homework.

 Feel free to visit additional sites if the information about your favorite monsters is somewhat sparse!
Select a monster from each category:

• Early
• Classic
• Animals & Insects
• Other monstrosities

Provide a brief description of each monster selected.

• What does the monster look like?
• How big is the monster?
• Does it have special powers?
• Is it loved or feared? Explain.
• Where does it live?
• Does it have any friends?
• For what is it famous?

These are just a few of the many items to consider when describing a monster.

Also, tell why you selected each.
Consider:

• Do you remember being frightened by it as a child?
• Did you see the monster in a movie?
• Did you dress up as the monster on Halloween?
• Other?
