4th Grade Monster Totems

Alright, who doesn't enjoy drawing monsters? There's really no wrong way. The monster totem is a little different than your average monster project. We break up the monster, drawing the top half on the bottom of the paper and the bottom half at the top of the paper. Seems strange right?!  The idea here is that when finished, we can link our paper up with someone else in the class. Then our bottom fits on their top or vice versa. We can even link up to other 4th graders in other classes, the possibilities are endless. In order for this to happen we have to have set lines that are the same on everyone's paper. Thus the use of the master copy...see below                                   
With everyone working off the same lines, everyones will fit. They can also be moved to create endless combinations. The same pieces were used below and just moved around.
