Grades 1 and 2: Crazy dialog! Challenge your students to make up their own sounds for all of the critters in the comic. Have them use what they know about spelling to make up nonsense words for each kind of critter. While we have no evidence that any of these critters used verbal communication, we do know that some animals living today (including prairie dogs, dolphins, whales, and non-human apes) have their own sorts of language. What if the long extinct critters in the comic did too? What would it sound like? What would they say? How could those words be spelled? For added fun write these words in printable Post Its!
