The Monster Exchange Project
The Monster Exchange Project is an Internet project that has been around for a few years. I am in the middle of creating a Unit Plan on a PBWiki (so I can add teacher collaborators later). I would like to use this project in the with the district I currently work for and with my graduate students.
Essentially the Project goes like this:
- Students draw pictures of monsters
- They write (on paper or the computer) descriptions of their monsters
- Teachers register with the Monster Exchange Gallery and are partnered with another school across the country.
- Teachers post their student’s descriptions to the web so that their partner school can get access to them
- The partner school does the same thing
- Students draw monsters based on the descriptions and then both schools upload the re-drawn pictures, the originals and the descriptions to the Monster Exchange Gallery
The better the description, the better the redrawn picture!
