Seconds graders looked at the story Go Away, Big Green Monster by Ed Emberly and observed the illustrations. The monster in the book is created with a combination of many simple geometric shapes put together.
As a class, we brainstormed a list of adjectives to describe a monster. We divided our list into two categories: words that describe how a monster LOOKS and how its FEELS. We used our list to choose one word and wrote this at the top of our paper.
Then the kids choose a color and a simple geometric shape for the head. We explored some techniques for paper sculpture and applied these to make our monsters have 3-d features!
