Sea monsters are widely known to be creatures that reside in the salty seas and are often imagined to be of enormous size. Many people do believe these creatures exist deep underneath the ocean surface; however, credible scientific evidence and valid photographs have not been recorded.

successful lesson, “Aaagh! Monsters!” In that class, I asked my students, ages 5 through 8 year olds, to create a monster of their own. We did a little research into the monsters other people had created in books, in other appropriate visual media, and throughout history.
