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.
Welcome to the 1999 Pass It Along Story page. For the past several years classrooms from around the world have been working together to compose exciting stories. A beginning paragraph is distributed to two groups of classrooms. Each classroom is responsible for writing a paragraph of the story and then forwarding to another classroom so the next portion of the story can be written. We hope you enjoy our story and the twists and turns we are sure will develop. Be sure to look at the story written by both Group 1 and Group 2. Each group starts with the same beginning, but they certainly end up with different stories. Have fun!
