Courtney Laxton Dinosaurs

Possible Lesson Plans I will read the children a book that will give them more knowledge about the different characteristics of the dinosaurs. Each child will choose a letter from the alphabet and have to come up with a dinosaur that begins with that letter. From the art perspective, I will give each chld a piece of paper and the footprint of a dinosaur and they will trace using a crayon the footprint onto the piece of paper. As a class we will determine what dinosaur it is by looking at their footprint.

Teaks The students will learn the difference between a meat eating dinosaur and a plant eating dinosaur. –They will also learn in which time period the dinosaurs were present, and when they were no longer alive. –(S5c. By using evidence from reliable sources to develop descriptions, explanations, and models.) The students will be able to tell each other their dinosaurs’ name, if they eat meat or plants, if they live on land or in water, and if they walk on 2 or 4 feet. Conclusion: At the end of the lesson the students should be able to identify many different dinosaur’s and each characteristics.
