Students will work in pairs to create a web page focused on a monster or element of monster studies as part of a class MonsterWiki project. Each page must include the historical context, psychological significance, pop culture representations, and a summary of an article about the chosen topic. Students will sign up for topics, divide tasks, conduct research, write content, and design their page with visuals and links using a website builder or other program. The goal is to share what they've learned about monsters this semester by publishing their wiki online.
