Two books—Dinosaurs by Gail Gibbons and Danny and the Dinosaur by Syd Hof—begin a learning experience in which scholars complete three creative, imaginative, and real-world activities. First, pupils create a puzzle featuring their favorite dinosaur. Next, participants go on a walk to observe different sizes in nature. Finally, learners write an acrostic poem using the name of a dinosaur.
