This is a collaborative project between Mrs G and the Year 3/4 Smarties in Western Australia and Mr H and the Year 3 Poplar Class in England.
Our teachers got in contact after looking for another class somewhere in the world to do this exciting and challenging literacy project with. They made contact through our class blogs.
This is how our Monster Exchange works:
Step 1 - Each student draws a monster with crayon, coloured pencil or markers/textas.
Step 2 - They then write a detailed description of their monster and posts the description on their Weebly page.
Step 3 - A student in the other class reads the description carefully.
Step 4 - The student then draws the monster that is being described.
Step 5 - Their teachers scan and upload the drawings of the original monster and the one that was drawn from the description and post them on the original designer's Weebly page.
Step 6 - The drawings can then be compared to see how similar they are.
Step 7 - Students will then have an opportunity to record a message for their partner, reflecting on how they felt about the project.
If the drawings are very similar, it means the description was detailed and well written and that the student reading it demonstrated good comprehension skills.
Once the project is complete (in early May) when you click on a student's name to the left, you'll see their original monster drawing, their description and the monster as it was redrawn by a student from their partner class.
Happy monster-making!
