This is late but better late than never. For Halloween this year I talked with my kids about horror movies and monsters and set them loose on making a monster in groups of four. They had to do a write up on their monster. They had to tell the class the name of the monster, the age, where it came from, the background story on the monster, what it looks like and what weapons it has, and how the monsters kills its victims. The lesson worked really well for both grades at my high school. I have posted the lesson on Waygook.org and my lesson can be found by clicking here.
Here are some of the monsters.
