Monster Collage

On Friday we will be working in partners to make our collage of the different perceptions of "monster" throughout history.

You can bring in pictures or words describing monsters from different time periods/literary periods

Examples: Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Hinduism, Medieval times, "freaks of nature," Sea Monsters, urban legends (Big Foot, Lochness Monster), cute and friendly monsters, people considered as monster (serial killers, etc.)

Click here for a list of legendary creatures on Wikipedia, although not all are monsters

Use Google Images to find pictures of different monsters and print them out

Print out newspaper headlines or words that describe monsters

Remember, you and your partner have a whole posterboard to fill! Half should show the traditional view of monsters while the other half should show the newer social concept of monsters.
