>URL to the two of the web pages that explains it.
>http://www.gbn.com/mindseye/monster_gallery/home.html
>You can see last
>years www page by clicking the "other galleries" button The basic
>description is the kids match up with a cooperating school class . Each
>class draws a picture of an original monster and then writes a descriptive
>paragraph describing it. That paragraph gets e-mail to the cooperating
>class and their mission is to try drawing the monster just from reading the
>descriptions. The picture original and redrawnm get scanned by the kids
>and then the teachers publish them on the web. To see my class project
<with an australian school click the GMU monster galleries button. Let me
<know what you think. If the given url does not work search in Yahoo for
<Gilbertsville Mount Upton CSD and the project is linked to our
>homepage.
>Enjoy!
