I teach pretty young kids. i like it. But now I've got it from on high to make a dinosaur teaching day. Most of my kids are pre-literate. Any cool ideas how to fill an hour or two with this?

It's a crappy book to teach, but New Parade 4 has a whole unit about dinosaurs. Make photocopies.

Haven't taught it in a while but I think the focus of the unit is on comparatives and superlatives.

Good luck

Do the normal TPR stuff - learn the names of dinosaurs, relevant adjectives to describe them (body parts - long necks, short legs, green skin, likes meat, etc, numbers, size, etc), running games, write the number games, fly-swat the word, matching games, guessing games...

Teach 'does it have green skin?' 'does it have short legs?' 'is it a..' 'is it big?'... 'Is it green?' 'does it have 4 legs?'
many, many hours of fun with elementary stu's. You can also include random classroom objects/students/whatever.

Adjectives and the grammar of enquiry are your best weapons/goals, uses all sorts of vocab in good grammar structures and the kids'll love it.. many hours of lessons as a game on a plate, all done with pictures you draw..

I've got a powerpoint slide show that I swiped from online. I used it for my kindy science classes. We also made 'fossils' which consisted of pressing plastic mini dinos into a lump of clay, then filling the hollow with plaster of paris-type stufff you mix up from a powder. It is ready to take home in an hour or so. It was a HUGE hit.

The powder is called 석고가루.

If you want the slide show, PM me.

I put a request in at school to get the plaster stuff. The slideshow might come in handy if thngs fail. Could you email it to me at [email protected] ?

edit: Mumblebee -- couldn't find anything about dinosaurs on the link you sent me. Also, i couldn't get an email out to you about it. Stinkin' Yahoo.
