Unit 2 Summative Expectations- Dinosaur Presentations 

 Students will be assigned a dinosaur of any of the three learned periods. Students will use two days of class time to find information about their assigned dinosaur.

 Students will have from November 16th to 17th to find out as much information as possible about their dinosaur.

Novel Study
Dinosaurs before dark - Chapter 7
Chapter 7. Ready, Set, Go!Edit
Jack and Annie sprinted towards the tree house. They got ahold of the ladder and started climbing up. They burst through the tree house exhausted. "I wish we could go home!" Jack screamed. Nothing happened. Annie reminded him that he was pointing at a picture when he wished them here. That's when Jack remembered that he left his pack on the hill. He climbed down the rope ladder and ran to his pack. "Ready, Set, Go!" thought Jack and he dived for his pack. He didn't see the T. Rex any more so he charged up the hill top and saw a horrific sight. Between him and the tree house was the T. Rex.
