Have pupils ask parents and older friends about any legends they know from another country or about the Local district. Have pupils record these to play back to the class or invite them to the classroom to tell the legend. The Terrible Beast Many legends have a 'terrible beast' as the main character. Have pupils research, share and list mythical beasts that are the stuff of legends. As a group or as individuals, have pupils come up with an horrific description of a terrible mythical beast.
Groups construct a terrible beast or all contribute to a painted group mural.
Display in foyer. Finish this story line. The terrible bird swooped down upon me uttering a hideous screeching cry. Creating a Legend Develop the idea that many cities and towns around the world promote legends as part of their tourism programme, e.g. the Loch Ness Monster at Inverness, Ghosts of convicts in Tasmania and Norfolk Island. Help pupils to see the link between legends and economic activity, e.g. souvenirs, trips.
