Museums have been built to showcase what dinosaurs might have looked like, thousands of books have been written on the subject, and many television shows and movies have been made about them. Are we fascinated by dinosaurs because they are so strange and unlike any animal we know? Is it because many of them were so huge?

One example he uses as evidence is that the west coast of Africa appears to fit exactly into the east coast of South America. Another example he uses is that the coasts of both countries share many similar fossils of plants and animals, suggesting they were once joined together. 1. What is the author s purpose for writing this passage? 2. How do you know that this is the author s purpose? 3. How did the author s purpose affect your reading rate? 4. Why might Africa and South America have been joined together at one point in time? 5. Write a sentence or two to persuade people to take a vacation on Pangaea.
