Year 2
In her evaluation, Alison Trelfer points out that the project may be more appropriate for Year 2. It may fit in well with Term 3: Humorous Stories. As an alternative to giving the pupils shapes in order to draw their monsters, they could draw their own, and give a verbal description to an adult (to be scribed) or write it down afterwards (depending on ability).

The drawing could be undertaken during an Art lesson (whilst reinforcing speaking and listening skills). Writing the descriptions could be done in the Literacy Hour. The class teacher could model her own monster and write a description during a shared writing session.
