Descriptive Writing: Monster Exchange Project

I am always looking for a fun and engaging way to get my students to write. This is the first of many collaborative descriptive writing projects that will have your kids ASKING for more!

PLEASE SEE THE PREVIEW FOR A CLOSER LOOK!
Here's how it works:

★The students are asked to create a monster by drawing it on a piece of paper. They are then asked to describe it by writing a very detailed descriptive paragraph...or two...or three. You or they can decide!
★The student, when finished, gives their descriptive paragraph to a partner of either their choice or yours to see if they can recreate the same exact monster based solely on what they have written!

★Their partner can NOT see their monster until they have drawn it as it is described. Then, the fun part happens...the truth is revealed as the original monster is shared with their partner! Then it's time to switch! Their partner now shares their descriptive writing, and the other kiddo has to try to recreate it. SO MUCH FUN!!!

★At this point, you can display their work in the hallway.

INCLUDED IN THIS PRODUCT, YOU WILL RECEIVE:

• Detailed letters for both the teacher and student as to how the process works
• Example pages with my very own descriptive writing and monster creation, along with the drawing that my partner did...that was so much fun for the both of us!
• 3 writing page templates...each one varies in line spacing, and one is even provided for primary kiddos, if needed.
• Half and full page options of page templates for students to draw on
• Editing Checklist
• Themed word lists to help students choose theme-appropriate vocabulary
• A version of the example pages that can easily be displayed on a Smart Board or computer for closer examination during whole group instruction
• Bulletin board letters that say "Monster Exchange," along with several monster-themed accents to complete your look and grab the attention of everyone that walks by! Both colored and black and white letters have been provided.
