Monster Descriptive Writing {Freebie}

So, I haven't posted in FOR-E-VER!  
(Every time I emphasize that word...this is what I think of...)
If you think the same thing, then we probably had very similar childhoods.  :)

I still don't have much time to post (Parent-Teacher Conferences are this week...eesh), but I thought I would at least share a quick freebie!  Our class will be working on descriptive writing next week.  I'm going to read I Need My Monster to the class and then we will be writing our own monster descriptions and then drawing a detailed picture.  Click on the images below to download the Monster Writing freebie from Google Docs. 


Squints: It's about time Benny, my clothes are goin' outa style.
Yeah Yeah: They already are, Squints.
Squints: Shut up.

  5. Thank you for the perfect addition to our monster project. As an art teacher (with a M.Ed.).. REALLY, have the students draw their monster FIRST.. then write about it. That way, with struggling writers.. you can walk around, put your finger on a 'right there' in their drawing, and help them compose the sentence. Put your finger on the claws they drew, and have them describe them "long, white, sharp" etc. and put that into a sentence "He has long white sharp claws on his four arms". The drawing is the rough draft for their writing, the very first draft before their organizer. They have envisioned and created, and now it is time to write about it. Earlier finishers just write more sentences and embellishments in their descriptions.
