We know the kaiju are up to something this holiday season!
Maybe Godzilla's saving Christmas from Ghidorah the Grinch, or Santa Kong's getting stuck in the chimney while delivering presents, or...? What mischief do YOU think the monsters will be getting into this December?
Let's get together and spread some holiday cheer from the MonsterVerse. 
Day 1: Story-Mapping
-- Define/describe your characters, setting, problem/conflict, at least three events, and solution/resolution.
Day 2: Writing
-- Using the "story sandwich" model, write your story using paper and pencil. Stories should be at least three paragraphs in length with three to five sentences in each paragraph. 
Day 3: Finishing Touches and Sharing
-- Share your story with friends!
(Students may want to create an illustration or photo outside of class to share along with their story on this day :))
I can't wait to hear your Very Merry (Scary?) Kaiju Christmas Story!

** This camp is for ages 9-12 (approximately). I have a similar camp for ages 6-9 and will post the link below :)

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree in Education from Fort Hays State University

Hello! My name is Rebecca and I LOVE teaching! I have a B.S. in Education and an M.S. in Reading Education. I love creating and adapting my own curricula to make learning engaging and fun for the virtual learner and believe that providing interactive, organized, and thoughtful instruction in a supportive environment can pave the way for even the most hesitant student. It is my philosophy that learning happens in many ways, so, naturally, teaching should, too! My classes incorporate a variety of teaching tools to provide for different learning styles.

- If there is a class that you are interested in but do not see a section that works for your schedule, please take advantage of the "Request Another Time" option located below the "Available Times" and I will get back to you regarding my availability.
