What is the Monster Exchange Project?
http://www.monsterexchange.org/
http://monsterprojectex.wikispaces.com/
Why did I choose to do it?
The power of online networks
 
613 km away
Purpose: For the children to create careful descriptions that paint a picture in the reader’s mind. So…. Ideally the reader will see what the author sees.
Motivating the children
The picture was the plan
I asked questions
How did we share the writing?
 
The older children used individual blogs.
 
I gave feedback...
 
... and got a response.
 
The Big Reveal
Some came really close...
... but were they reading carefully?
Ping Pong My monster is called Ping Pong.  Her skin colour is dark blue.  She has one eye and red and brown hair.  Her head is a circle.  Her clothes are a cheerleader top, it is purple with a red C on it.  She is wearing a light blue skirt.  She is smiling with her mouth closed.  On her head is a pair of antennae, they are grey.  On her feet are some beautiful brown high heel boots.  In her right hand is a  red pompom.  Her left hand is behind her head - not showing her fingers.  Ping Pong has purple in the middle of her eye and she has a black outline.  My monster is from Planet Cheerleader.  Ping Pong is a very happy monster cheerleader.  
Did they explain it carefully?
Hypno 2000 Hypno 2000 is a slime monster.  He is light green.  He has two big white eyes with a thick black outline. In the centre of his eyes he has red swirls.  He has ten tentacles with eyes on the top of his head.  He has two brown holes on the side of his head.  He sticks out his front teeth and his tongue.  He has brown spots down his body.
Some were spot on!
Dynamite Dynamite has a squared face that’s green and on all the corners it’s curvy.  He has 3 eyes, a nice smile and teeth (the teeth are made from triangles).  One tooth is down, another is up and the last one is down.  he has a tall, rectangular body and it’s dark blue.  Also, he has a big, orange DS on his body.  Also on the top of his head are green triangles for ears - they are wide apart.  At the bottom of his body there are 2 tall rectangles that are also green - one on the left and one on the right - for his feet.  On his feet there are yellow circles for each of his toes.  Last of all is his devil stick.  His devil stick is red and black with 3 triangles on top, like a fork.  The part with the triangles is red and the other half is black.  Around his devil stick there is a zig-zaggy line that is yellow and inside the line there is a shade of really light blue.
Some gave feedback.
Igor Hero My monster is called Igor Hero.  He has three mohawks and a flame on each one.  He has a red head and two yellow wings and two brown arms.  He has one eye and fangs and a red and black body.  He has a guitar in his hand and a double sided fork.  He has a devil tail and two black legs.  He has two green ears and two green shoes.
Scary The monster I made had an oval shape body that is orange and orange tentacle hair on the top of his head with orange spikes.  On his face he has a trapezium that is black and upside down.  He can breathe fire.  next he has diagonal eyes that are black, one is one way the other is the other way.  Then I say he has three red eyes underneath his black eyes.  He has yellow chomp like teeth, brown arms and hands.  He has spit coming from his mouth and two blue and pink tentacles at the bottom of his head with blue and pink spots.
Some were fascinating.
Lampyclock Lampyclock has a medium triangle head with orange and blue stripes.  He has square eyes with two big black dots in the middle.  He has a pink nose and a pink neck in the middle of the bottom of the head.  He has a triangle mouth with white teeth.  Then there is a fat medium circle with a line around near the line with a star in the middle with lines around the star.  The legs go down then to the left then a space.  Then another one, it goes down then right, then down, then two more down across to the left then another one down across to the right.  He is holding coffee in a cup that is brown.  He has rectangle arms with a black outline.  On the circle there are sticks near the neck.  So that’s my Lampyclock.
Some were done in pairs
Bing-Bing My monster is called Bing-Bing.  It is a pinky-purple and it has dark purple spots on it, but not very many.  It has got a very big smile with only three teeth and they are quite far apart, but they are all on the top.  He has a yellow tummy.  It has dark purple antennae with little circles on the top.  He has a very big eye with a black dot in the middle.  It has two arms and three fingers on each hand.  He has two legs and they have three toes on each foot.  he has pointy ears with yellow and pink in the inside.  It has got a little tongue and a little lump with little red bits in its mouth and the rest of his mouth is pink.  He has got a little body that is shaped like an oval.  Bing-Bing has got a black outline.  He is a cheerful little monster.  He has got a big head that is connected to the body and his arms are connected to the head.
This just made my day.
Ryan’s Monster My monsters body is the shape of a door.  It has three heads and it has a very nasty attitude.  My monster has two tentacles.  My monster has two tongues and they are red with snakes.  One tongue has sharks and that’s why no monster will challenge my monster.
