Dinosaur
Writing Project
You are part of a dinosaur research team,
and it is your job to research a dinosaur that
has been found in the area. As you work
with your team, you will be gathering
information and create a brochure to share
with visitors coming to see the discovered
dinosaur bones.
Your brochure must include: the
dinosaur's name, where they live, what they
look like, what they eat, how they behave,
five interesting facts, and pictures.
You will create a skit, using the information
you have collected, to showcase your
dinosaur to visitors of the dinosaur park.
