The Teaching Channel: Monster Match

Every student in Ms. Montgomery's class draws a picture of a monster and then writes a descriptive paragraph about it. Ms. Hoover then connects this class with another via video conference. This new class must now draw pictures based on the descriptions from the first class, who are now very aware of the importance of details in descriptive writing.

■Class discussion: Teaching Channel is a new video showcase of innovative and effective teaching practices in America's schools. The new program is ramping up for a summer 2011 debut.

Stay tuned for more great examples of creative teaching in the classroom. <#arrow#>Get more info here
