8. socks- Is your monster wearing tights/knee high socks/matching/not matching

10. hat- any head wear/earmuffs/earphones/ear plugs/ear wax

The monster must include the following colors in some way 1 points each:

Red brown

Yellow blue

Greenblack

Whitepink

Purple orange

After creating your monster you are to write a one-page paper, typed, describing your monster and what he is wearing in detail. If the description is not detailed enough you will lose dialog points. Also tell me about his personality. Is he nice, stuck-up, friendly, bad…? What’s his favorite color? Where does he go to school? How did you meet your monster?

You must also have a glossed version of your presentation printed and turned into me BEFORE your presentation. If you do not hand me the printed copy on the final you will be docked points.

You can use anything to decorate your monster that is school appropriate. Be creative and have fun! Be sure your monster is sturdy. Also be cautious that your monster includes all of the clothing items/colors above. Many people lose points because they are missing a color or piece of clothing.
