Monster Exchange - The World is our classroom!

We are very excited about a new project we are starting call 'Monster Exchange'. We are joining up with a Grade 2 class in Viginia, USA, to use descriptive language skills.
The students in each classroom are split into groups, each of which designs an original picture of a monster. The students must then write a description of the monster. The partnered classes then exchange their descriptions via e-mail and the Internet.
The students are then challenged to use reading comprehension skills to read the descriptions and translate them into a monster picture. The true challenge involves creating a redrawn picture as close to the original picture as possible without looking at the original and using only the written description of the monster. What a challenge! We will keep you posted :)
