Writing Connection: 

Whitney's class got done with a narrative writing unit and they wrote "Monster Stories". Keeping track of monster details from these books was a natural tool to help the students during revising. The class was able to use the "monster details" on their graphic organizers, choose words that would help describe their monster, and add it to their writings.
