Bio Poem About Me!

Danielle
Different, Socially Awkward, Bookworm.
Lover of a variety of music, animals, and singing at random times.
Who wonders what goes through peoples minds at their last breath.
Who fears what lurks in the dark, strange noises at night, and gossipers.
Who feels whole when with family and friends, anxious when reading,
and irritated at times.
Who is able to speak out her mind without a second thought.
Who would like to learn how to draw, learn another language,
and meet some inspiring people.
Who dreams of travelling the world.
Unique!

The Triassic Period

WALT read and understand how an explanation is written. (Structure and language features used in writing explanations)

Knowledge Questions: Learn
  1. How long ago was the Triassic period?
The Triassic Period was 248-213 million years ago
  1. What was the name of the only huge continent on Earth at that time?
The continent on the earth at the time was, Pangea.
  1. How many years ago did dinosaurs first appear ?
Dinosaurs first appeared about 230 million years ago.
Comprehension Questions: Learn
     4.   What sort of food did the dinosaurs eat?
There were carnivorous which are flesh-eating, then there were herbivorous which are  plant-eaters.
     5.   Describe the Staurikosaurus - its appearance and eating habits.
The Staurikosaurus was one of the earliest known dinosaurs, and they were flesh-eaters.
     6.   Do some plants from the Triassic period still exist today?  Explain your answer.
Yes, because in this article they wrote about plants that they had found, and because New Zealand have ferns.
Application Questions: Create, Share
     7.   Do you think the information in this article would be useful if you were researching why other animals have become extinct? Why?
Yes, because in the article it says that dinosaurs may be the reason of the extinction of many other reptiles.
     8.   What question would you ask a palaeontologist (dinosaur expert) about the Triassic
          period? Why was it called the ‘Triassic Period’? and who started the theory of Pangea.
Thinking beyond : Create,  Share
Analysis: What are some problems palaeontologists might have when researching dinosaurs? They might have been confused with which bones were from which dinosaur, and where they came from.

Synthesis: If you had unlimited money, how would you protect animals which are in danger of becoming extinct?  I would buy a massive reserve that has a lot of plants, trees, and rivers and divide the area into sections, where the animals that got along with each other would live with each other. I would have workers, and I also would place food around the jungle slash forest slash reserve, so that the animals would have to hunt. Meaning they wouldn’t be babied, but they still would be safe.

Evaluation: Do you think it would be better to spend money on trying to solve problems in today’s world rather than researching dinosaurs?  It really depends, I would love to know the history of what has walked on the earth, that now is ours. But then again we are in the present, and it would be better to solve problems in the present, like world hunger, and global warming.
