TPO 29-Integrated writing
The reading passage and lecture have conflicting opinions on whether or not edmontosaur dinosaurs migrated to another area to escape from the unfavourable weather condition. The article strongly postulates that there are three explanations which support this statement. On the other hand, the listening adamantly delineates that none of the author's explanations is plausible.
First and foremost, according to the professor, there was no need to migrate for these animals because at that time the climate was much warmer than today. Furthermore, she said that in North Slope reached peak temperature in the summer, so there were plenty of favourable conditions for vegetation to grow.

In addition to this, moving in herds allowed them to navigate their journey.
Lastly, the speaker in the lecture suggests that there were also juvenile dinosaurs in their swarm. it means that the migration was impossible for them because the young edmontosaurs had not adapted to run such long distances. Nevertheless, the author counters these implications by insisting that they were physically capable to run fast during this migration even in the cold weather.
