STEP 1: CREATE MONSTER

CREATE YOUR OWN MONSTER In MBFZG, Mark and his brother suprisingly created a monster named: Frankie, a dead golfish with hypnotic powers that can control people. Does Frankie use his powers for GOOD or for EVIL ? It is now YOUR TURN to create your own monster. http://www.nick.com/troop-grid/monster-creator.jhtml

STEP 1: CREATE MONSTER CREATE YOUR MONSTER PROFILE Design your very own monster. Make sure you can answer these questions: 1) How was your monster created ? What is its name? 2) What does it look like/feel like/sound like ? 3) What is its power (mininum 1 power – maximum 2 powers) ? 4) What is its strengths (1) and weaknesses (1) ? Once completed, I will need you to take a picture your monster with OUTIL CAPTURE (capture écran) and save it on your computer.

STEP 2: NARRATIVE TEXT A narrative text can be written in the: FIRST person (I) or THIRD person (He/She/It). 150 – 250 words. A good narrative text should have a/an: 1) INTRODUCTION 2) MAIN BODY 3) CONCLUSION Introduction + Main Body: Simple Past Tense Conclusion: Simple Present Tense

STEP 2: NARRATIVE TEXT INTRODUCTION: How was your monster created? Provide a description of your monster. What is its power? What are its strengths and weaknesses ? MAIN BODY: An example of how your monster is good or used its powers for good. An example of how your monster is evil or used its powers for evil. CONCLUSION: After your monster`s adventures from the (main body), tell me if your monster is GOOD OR EVIL (choose ONLY ONE) and tell me the reason why.

INTRODUCTION HERE IS AN EXAMPLE BASED ON MBFZG. INTRO (tell the story how he was created) Many months ago, a boy named Mark bought a goldfish and decided to poison it for his experiment. When the fish started dying, Mark`s brother decided to save him using batteries. The fish came back to life. The fish was green and slimy with red big eyes. He called him Frankie. Mark discovered that Frankie has special powers. If you look in his big red eyes, you become hypnotized. His strengths are that he is fast and strong and his weaknesses are that he does not like oxygen since he is a fish.

BODY MAIN BODY (tell two small story examples about how he is a good and bad monster) One day, Frankie was in trouble and needed help so he looked at a young girl and hypnotized her so she can help him. Another day, Frankie decided to use his power to control many people to fight with other people.

CONCLUSION CONCLUSION (tell me your opinion about whether you think your monster is good or evil with the reason) After Frankie`s many adventures, I can say that Frankie is a GOOD monster because he uses his powers for good. He is sometimes aggressive with people he does not like or does not know but his hypnosis can help both himself and other people.
