Halloween Writing Prompts for Howling Good Fun!

This Halloween Craft is the perfect activity to complete after reading the book ‘The Teacher from the Black Lagoon’, by Mike Thaler. It’s the hair-raising tale of a boy who thinks his teacher is a real monster and relays all of her terrible deeds to the reader in a comedic and pun-filled adventure.

This craft activity encourages even the most reluctant writers to tell the tale of the day that Miss Fran K. Enstein became their Relief teacher. This writing template and monster craft will have them writing furiously and racing to build a monster to hold up their tales.
