Descriptive Projects

For this project the students each created a monster. In English we had been working with adjectives, so once the creatures were illustrated, the students wrote a description for their monster which we sent to our pen pals. Our friends in Pennsylvania had to try to draw these monsters based on what we had written. Below you will see our written description along with our original drawing and that of our pals. They did a terrific job following our directions. We are currently working on the illustrations for our friends decription. We can't wait to see how close we are.
