Introduce Vocabulary: Dinosaur Bones (Barner)

Dig into some prehistoric vocabulary in Bob Barner's informative book Dinosaur Bones. This works best if you introduce the primitive words before reading the story. These are the focus terms in the text: ancient, climate, extinct, fossils, predators, and preserve. The engaging comprehension questions prompt personal connections, and consider using the graphic organizer for all kids, instead of just those struggling, as is suggested in the plan.
