Drawing Monsters

 Activity: 

Students started by listening to the book The Color Monster. This book talked about monsters and their emotions. Students had to think about four different characteristics of a mon
ster and write it down. Then, they had to pass their paper to a partner and the partner had to drawn a monster with those characteristics. The student then created a rough draft of their monster before creating the final version. Once they drew their final monster, they had to use three different materials to create their monster. The monster also had to represent a certain emotion and have a name. Finally, the student had to write four sentences about how their monster was feeling and what they do on their off day.

Extension:  

An extension activity to creating a monster is to have the students write a story about their monster. The students could explain more in depth how why their monster was feeling that way. Additionally, they could write a whole essay about the background of their monster and how they got into scaring people.
