By Ed Emberley (optional…I wrote the story right in the slides)1. Discuss the importance of being descriptive when introducing characters in writing pieces2. As you read the story, Go Away, Big Green Monster!, have students draw what the author is describing page by page (or slide by slide) 3. Have students share their pictures and see what everyone has in common (meaning the author used good description) and what was different or lacked description. 4. Finally, share the picture of the Big Green Monster with students. How did student work compare to the original. What does the author need to include to get everyone’s picture the same?
