Below the space where the monster is drawn, your students are introduced to an element of descriptive writing (like the use of adjectives and similes) and they are asked to identify examples of it from the description of the monster. In addition, there is also a question to answer based on the description, which helps ensure that your students understand the descriptions they are reading.
3. An opportunity for your students to think up their own monster that might live alongside the other monsters in Dr Colin's house and write a description of it for themselves using the descriptive language skills they have learned from working through the other double-page spreads contained in this book.
