The dinosaurs were headed for trouble. They ate nothing but junk food. They never brushed their teeth. They stayed up all night. And though they loved jumping off cliffs, they didn't like the landings much. The early mammals tried to warn them. "Keep that up and you'll all be extinct!" they said. But the dinosaurs just laughed... and over time, they evolved into birds.

Students research dinosaurs, pick one, research and report (1 pager) environment, food, characteristics, etc. Students brainstorm what we can learn from dinosaurs’ “mistakes” as presented in film and reflect on their own practices (eating, relationships, etc.) and write how they can improve or what they would like to change. Students write stories about an animal today or dinosaur - one bad habit, how they deal with it and change for the better.
