Chapter 9 The Truth

Chapter 9: The Truth

In this chapter we are going to practice tying up loose ends.

● The main character is going to find out how it all  fits together. Describe how he/she finds it out.

● You have to decide what is going to happen with the monster and the classmate.

● Important questions to think about to make sure you tie all loose ends together:

○Who had written the poster?

○Who had turned it around and re-written it?

○Who had written the poem and why?

○Why had someone made notes in the book (if you wrote that)?

○How did the animal become a monster?

○Why was the monster in the basement?

● Try to make you explanations a bit unexpected. It still has to connect with the things you have written earlier. The reader should think: Aha, I should have understood that.

● Read all your chapters and feel free to add or change to make the explanations in the end both tricky and yet reasonable.

Chapter 8

Chapter 8: The Revenge

In this chapter we are going to practice describing an event.

● The main character is going to use the bait and manage to get the monster to scare the stupid classmate.  

● The classmate is going to be scared and regretful.

● Questions to help you: Where does the main character take the monster to scare the classmate?

Are there other people there? If so, how do they react? Are any of the nice people you described earlier there (for instance the nice adult from chapter 2, the harsh adult from chapter 1, someone from the library, a friend)?

● Questions to help you: What is the mean classmate doing? Which ingredients are suitable for attracting the monster? Are there any ingredients missing? Could the nice adult from chapter 2 help?

The Monster chapter 6

Chapter 6: The Book

In this chapter we are going to practice writing a text based on facts.

● The main character is going to read a book about animals to try to find out more facts about the monster in the basement.

● The main character is going to find a text about the animal (about the actual animal not the monster animal).

● Write the text that the main character is reading. Get your facts from a book or from the internet.

● Questions to help you: Is there anything else mysterious happening in the library? Are there any other persons there? What is the atmosphere like in the library? Does is seem as if someone else has been reading the book? Maybe someone has  written notes in the book?
