Parent Guide > Twice I Walked With Dinosaurs
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Twice I Walked With Dinosaurs" by Camryn Diagonale.
In Camryn Diagonale's poem "Twice I Walked with Dinosaurs," a speaker describes encounters with a baby shark and an alligator.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Who's in control: humanity or nature?" and "How do we understand the world around us?"
