Dinosaur Footprints and Ferns

Munch! Imagine being a gigantic fern with dinosaurs nibbling on your long, rough, leaves, spores dropping to the soil below. Or maybe you are trampled into the mud to become a fossil, or used in a nest to cushion eggs.

So much could happen to a fern! Write a short story about a giant fern that might have grown in an ancient forest during the time of the dinosaurs. What did it look like? Where did it grow? What type of weather was good for it? Was anybody eating it? Write about the ups and downs of life as a fern in the wild world of dinosaurs.
