From the Mouths of Monsters
It’s a Real Monster.
Legendary Creatures• Familiar faces:– griffins– dragons– unicorns– fairies– Greek monsters – trolls and ogres– creatures of urban
legend
– Which other legendary creatures are popular in our culture?
Across the Pacific pond…Yōkai ( 妖怪 ) are
legendary creatures from Japan. They are a strange collection of mischievous and sometimes cruel spirits and monsters.
- Many of them are humanoid, with animal features.
- Some are inanimate objects brought to life
Above: Kappa
Which should we look into?
• On your COWS, visit www.obakemono.com• Choose two youkai to research and write
about.
di-a-logue (a real monster)-Dialogue is conversation
between two or more characters as a feature of a book, play, or movie.
“Writing dialogue should become a habit!” the teacher cried, flailing her arms. “For serious, you guys!”
- If you aren’t writing a play, you need to use the following:
- quotation marks- capitalization- taking turns
Write it Out!• The comic to the right
is full of dialogue, but it’s trapped in speech bubbles. How would we write this out in a story?
• Words instead of “said”: cried, shouted, hollered, grumbled, groaned, whimpered, sang, called, whined, murmured.
Left to right: Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, Smiley.
“Why is Smiley wearing a cow suit?” asked Fone Bone.
“I’m not Smiley!” shouted Smiley. “I’m a real cow!”
“My world is crumbling around me,” grumbled Phoney.
“Moo!” hollered Smiley.
• On pg. ______ of your Writer’s Notebook, write a conversation between your two monsters. This should be an exchange of at least 10 parts ( if your monsters take turns talking, they should each talk 5 times!)
• Here’s your prompt: – What would your two legendary creatures talk
about if they had to sit next to each other at lunch? Write most of your response as dialogue.

The Lady and the Fox1.“Geeze-Louise,” grumbled Futakuchi-onna. “Some
people have no table manners!”2.“What do you mean?” asked Kitsune.3.“I mean, you’re an animal and you’re sitting at the
table.”4.“Look, I’m one-hundred years old,” said Kitsune.
“Soon I might turn into a human!” 5.“Well, until then, you’re being rude.”6.“You want to talk about rude?” grumbled the fox
spirit. “At least I eat with my paws and not my hair.”
7.“Yuck. I’m not hungry anymore.” Futakuchi stood up, but her second mouth whimpered. Her tummy grumbled.
8. Kitsune felt a little bad. “Are you sure? You can have some of my carrot sticks.”
9. “Thank you.” Futakuchi sat back down. 10. Kitsune smiled. “You’re welcome.”
