Monsters Inc. is also about a monster who is really nice at heart, but has to pretend to be mean and scary for his job. He has a to hide a child, and he starts to really like her.
THE WRITING PROCESS: First I brainstormed and thought of a story idea, then asked people for things to add to the plot. I got the idea for the monster to not be accepted by the humans in the human community from that process. Then I wrote my first draft, and had my peers critique it. Some of the feedback I got said that I should describe the character and setting more. I took that into consideration and then typed up my second draft with those changes, and sent it to Ms. Staff. After she told me what to change, I edited it and made some little revisions for my final draft.
THE PUBLISHING PROCESS: Arielle and I decided to publish our stories together since they are both about monsters. We binded them together and laminated it. Since we wrote children's stories we chose younger children, and elementary school children for our audience. We read to the 6th graders here. We may also go down to Explorer and read to the kids there.
