Identifying Text Structures ¨It’s important to think critically about the information that you receive, or else you may be led astray. For example, the brontosaurus is a type of
dinosaur that never really existed. Many people still believe in the brontosaurus today, but the “brontosaurus” is actually the body of an
apatosaurus with the head of a camarasaurus. This concocted creature was made from two mismatched fossils. Had more people thought
critically about these findings, analyzing the components that were presented, entire generations of school children may not have been
misinformed; therefore, think critically about the information that people tell you, even if it’s information you find on a book or in a worksheet.
Keep these problems in mind when conducting your studies.¨
