Katie SurianoThis internet project is similar to Flat Stanley. However, students make monsters in groups and write a description of their monster. When classrooms exchange monsters, the children then work to redraw the monster using the description first. Then originals and redrawn monsters are compared and uploaded to the website. Lesson plans, resources and project timelines are available on the website.

Monster Exchange is designed to encourage the development of reading and writing skills while integrating Internet technology into the classroom curriculum. Classrooms from a variety of schools worldwide are paired together; the
students in each classroom are split into groups, each of which designs an original picture of a monster. The students must then write a description of the monster.
The partnered classes then exchange their descriptions via e-mail and the Internet. These students are then challenged to use reading comprehension skills to read the descriptions and translate them into a monster picture. The true challenge involves creating a redrawn picture as close to the original picture as possible without looking at the original and using only the written description of the monster. -

Janice VanMonster Exchange is designed to encourage the development of reading and writing skills while integrating Internet technology into the classroom curriculum. Classrooms from a variety of schools worldwide are paired together; the students in each classroom are split into groups, each of which designs an original picture of a monster. The students must then write a description of the monster. The partnered classes then exchange their descriptions via e-mail and the Internet. These students are then challenged to use reading comprehension skills to read the descriptions and translate them into a monster picture. The true challenge involves creating a redrawn picture as close to the original picture as possible without looking at the original and using only the written description of the monster.
The written descriptions, original monster pictures, and redrawn monster pictures are scanned and uploaded to the Internet using the browser-based Monster Gallery Builder. The Monster Gallery Builder is entirely form-based and does not require the teacher or student to know any HTML code.
The Monster Galleries are then published, and feedback is provided via e-mail.
Any communication, material, pictures, descriptions of monsters and other content you post or transmit to the Monster Exchange, by any means, is and will be treated as, non-confidential and non-proprietary. You assume full responsibility for anything you create, post or transmit, and you grant MonsterExchange.org, its parent, affiliates and subsidiaries the right to edit, copy, publish and distribute any information or content you post or transmit for any purpose, without credit or compensation.writing collaboration elementary monster technology Language_Arts education Reading

Titel: Monster Exchange
Hvad med at tegne spændende monstre, beskrive dem på engelsk, sende beskrivelserne til en udenlandsk partnerklasse, hvis elever skal forsøge at tegne så tæt på beskrivelsen som muligt. Samtidig modtager den danske klasse beskrivelser af monstre fra partnerklassen, som de skal forsøge at tegne.
Denne webside formidler kontakten mellem lærere, der vil være med i projektet, stiller de nødvendige faciliteter til rådighed og giver ideer til forløb.
