It is HOW big?!

We are reading about dinosaurs. The first page told us that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is 15 feet high and 40 feet long. As successful readers as we all are ... we aren't able to just "read" this line and keep reading -- without stopping to clarify and comprehend what this means. So if the average fourth grader is about 5 feet tall ... we could visualize the size of a Tyrannosaurus Rex ...
3 fourth graders high = about 15 feet


8 fourth graders long = about 40 feet
