Monster
Exchange- was 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. |
