Confronting the Monster

Imagine a monster under your bed and write about how you confront it.

As a child, night-time fears, like the typical “monster under the bed”, can be very real and scary. This writing prompt is all about facing our fears head on. It asks students to not only describe how they perceive the monster (what it looks like, sounds like, etc.), but also how they would deal with the monster – a lesson in problem-solving, courage, and managing fear.
