Were-Creatures by 7th Grade
There are several books about werewolves. There are myths about werewolves from just about every major culture in the world. After reading the Tiger's Curse series and hearing the men/tigers in that series called "were-tigers" I began to wonder if there were other were-creatures stories in the world. What I found was a positive plethora of information. So I taught 7th grade about the different were-creatures that we find in literature and myths. At the end of the lesson the students formed groups and created their own were-creatures. They had to name the creature, describe how it turned into the were form, any special powers it possessed, how to kill the creature, and then draw a picture of it. Look below to see their creations.
