In groups, we created our own monster backstory that we used to create a monster movie. The movie incorporated elements of a social issue that lends to the creation of your monster as well as including physiology vocabulary and references to anatomy.
The project encouraged us to think outside the box and engage in creative expression. We were challenged to critically analyze the concept of monstrosity from multiple perspectives. This includes questioning societal norms, exploring moral and ethical implications, and considering the role of fear and the unknown in shaping perceptions of monsters.

Entry Event
We began this project by watching one of four movies with their own unique depictions of a monster. The movie I watched was Tusk, about a podcaster interviewing an old man, who he doesn't know at that point has a deep fascination with walruses. Throughout the movie, we see the old man surgically turn the podcaster into a walrus-human hybrid creature. Although the podcaster is physically a monster, the real monster is revealed to be the old man, driven by a traumatic event involving his former walrus friend.

ELA - Students will explore literary texts that feature monstrous characters or themes. They will analyze how authors use language, structure, and symbolism to convey the idea of monstrosity. Students will also develop their writing and analytical skills through essays, creative writing, and presentations.

Math - Mathematical concepts will be applied to understand patterns, structures, and geometric shapes that can be associated with monstrous forms. Students will explore how symmetry, fractals, and other mathematical phenomena can be used to analyze and even create monstrous designs.

Economics - The project will investigate the economic implications of monstrosity. This includes analyzing how 'monstrous' figures or events can influence economic stability, market behavior, and societal well-being. Students will explore topics such as the economic impact of fear, risk assessment, and the portrayal of monsters in economic crises.

Anatomy - Students will delve into the biological and physiological aspects of monstrosity. This includes studying how deviations from normal anatomical structures can create monstrous forms, as well as exploring how society perceives and reacts to physical abnormalities.
