Classrooms from a variety of schools world wide are paired together; the students in each classroom are split into groups, each of which designs an original picture of a monster. The students must then write a description of the monster. The partnered classes then exchange their descriptions via- e-mail and the Internet. These students are then challenged to use reading comprehension skills to read the descriptions and translate them into a monster picture. The real challenge involves creating a redrawn picture as close to the original picture without looking at the original and using only
