Students use technology to communicate an original monster image to another child through writing.
Students in two classes form small groups and design a monster, vividly describe their monster, and then e-mail their descriptions to the other class. Then the student groups in thepartner class attempt to recreate the monster solely from the descriptions. The two classes finally exchange their pictures to compare the originals with the new ones, allowing feedback of suggestions for improvement and praise.
