SuitabookA T. Rex Named Sue
Natalie Lunis
- Reading
- Use the map and dinosaur timeline as prompts: ask what each helps explain, then compare those clues with the narrative’s account of how a fossil discovery can add to scientific knowledge.
- Themes
- Scientific discovery: Sue Hendrickson unearths nearly complete T. rex fossil remains, and the discovery is linked to new knowledge about dinosaurs. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Legal controversy: The narrative follows a legal controversy surrounding the fossil discovery. The presence of a controversy is clear, but the book’s stance and the competing arguments are unknown.
- Worth knowing
- The discovery is described as startling, and the book follows a legal controversy. The nature and intensity of any contentious material are not established, so you may wish to preview that discussion together.
