8th Grade Mythological Creatures

This week our 8th graders are studying Myths.  Our assignment today was to break into pairs, and create a Mythical Creature.  Step # 1: Fold a blank piece of paper in half (hamburger style).  Step # 2: Partner #1 will create the upper half of the body.  Step # 3:  Partner 2 (without looking at partner #1's drawing) will create the lower half of the body.  Step #4:  When both partners are finished, they will open up their paper and reveal the creature they created.  Step #5:  Both partners will work together to color their creature, name it, list their likes and dislikes, where it lives, and any special powers it may have.
