Assessment/CFU
Reading Real Dinosaurs:
Read a realistic informational book or article about dinosaurs, reminding students of the characteristics of fantasy stories and informational text (use genre chart on wall). After reading, ask students to share details from this book or article and list on board.
Next, ask students to recall what the dinosaurs in the trade book did in the story. Without titling either list, record their responses to the right of the list generated from informational text.
Then, ask students to look at the two lists and ask them how you should title or organize each list. (Create T-chart with left column labeled informational text or Information and the right column labeled Fantasy or Fiction.)
My Version:
Students will generate sentences and drawings to tell their own versions of If the Dinosaurs Came Back. The class may choose to revise, refine, and compile these sentences and illustrations into a class version of “If the Dinosaurs Came Back” which could be sent to Bernard Most, the author of the trade book. (They could also include prospective titles of new Dinosaur books.) Guide this process and compile class book.
Opening/Warmup/Connecting Prior Knowledge
Dinosaur Pictorials (T-Rex and Stegosaurus):
Before lesson lightly sketch each dinosaur in detail on large chart paper.
Guide lesson with students about dinosaur details and differences marking over the lines with dark or colored markers as the lesson progresses, completing one pictorial at a time. Label the chart to build vocabulary. Students may draw along with the teacher and/or engage in discussion about details and differences.
