Dinosaurs Were Real
Understand that dinosaurs were real animals that lived on Earth a very long time ago and are now extinct — none are alive today
What a learner can do afterwards
- State that dinosaurs were real animals, not made up
- Explain that 'extinct' means no living ones are left anywhere
- Distinguish between 'a long time ago' and recent events like last year
The lesson
Dinosaurs were real animals. They were not made up, like a dragon in a story. Real dinosaurs walked and ate and slept on the Earth.
Mia holds a toy dinosaur. She says, 'This dinosaur was real. It lived a long, long time ago. None are alive today.'
Extinct means every single dinosaur is gone. Not one is hiding, anywhere on Earth.
Dinosaurs were real, but they lived long ago. None are alive today.
