During the unit on teaching El Cuerpo in Spanish class, I had students create their own monster bodies. They were to label 12 body parts and then present their monster to the class describing the body, and telling us what the monster likes to do and what it can and can not do because of its body. For the complete lesson, which includes over 35 questions to ask the student as a part of their presentation, click here.

Some student examples:

And for some reason, I have a closet in my classroom so I decided to hang up the “Monsters” in the closet. For those that don’t happen to have a closet, you could use the inside of your supply cabinet, a bulletin board, or just tape on the wall.

¿Tienes miedo tú de los monstruos? ¿De niño, pensabas que había monstruos en tu closet?
