Monster Match - Descriptive Writing

The students are super excited about their writing this week!  They drew a monster and now they are working on coming up with descriptive language to describe their monster.  Later this week they will use all the ideas they came up with today to write a descriptive paragraph about their monster.  Next week, the monsters will be hanging around the room and the students will have the opportunity to walk around and match the descriptive paragraph with the correct monster.  We'll let you know when they are ready so you can come in and check them out too!

Here's my monster.

Here are the ideas our class came up with to describe him on our graphic organiser.  We tried to include size, colour, shape, texture, and character traits in our descriptions.

I didn't include the pictures of the monsters because I don't want to ruin the monster match day, but here are some students' graphic organisers.  They're coming up with some great descriptions and they're really proud of their work!
