The Land Before Time
When Jack and Annie are whisked off to the time of the dinosaurs, they find themselves in the Cretaceous Period, the last part of the Mesozoic Era, whose ending is marked by the great extinction of the dinosaur population 65 million years ago. Details provided in the story help to paint a picture of this post-Jurassic period, which, for 80 million years, provided a nourishing environment for its many reptilian inhabitants.
Identify with students the different dinosaurs that lived during this period, labeling them as "carnivores" or "herbivores." Highlight how distinguishing physical characteristics enabled them to draw on aspects of their environment to survive as plant or meat eaters.
Divide the class into groups. Using a cardboard box with its front cut out, have each bring the Cretaceous Period to three-dimensional life through the construction of a diorama. Students can create the natural landscape of hills and valleys, open plains and volcanoes, tall grasses, ferns, and magnolia trees from a combination of paint and natural materials. Dinosaur figures can be made from clay. Encourage each group to share its 3-D scene with classmates, describing how it was made and what it shows.
