Jeff Edwardsan interesting website that uses the great "draw a monster that I describe" activity. What's great about this site is that it matches students and classes from different countries. Could be a fun way to introduce new cultures, countries, and ideas into an intermediate or advanced classroom.

Tracy WatanabeI'd love to see this turned into a mini PBL by adding a thought provoking Essential Question -- and have them focus on creativity, collaboration, literacy, fluency, and writing. Any ideas for an essential question?

Simple project-based learning idea for K - 8th grade. 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.

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. -

Tanya RoweThis is an excellent website for primary school students. Students design original pictures of monsters and then partnered classes exchange their descriptions via the interenet. Students then have to re-create the monsters according to the parameters set by the other class.
