Hi again Tiff,

If you hesitate, I'd suggest you to show the last few minutes of the 1st number of BBC's "Walking With Dinosaurs": The first dinosaurs. There's a _Plateosaurus_ animation.
 
Then you go to the Nova Scotia website, they're just preparing a prosauropod close to _Plateosaurus_:
http://museum.gov.ns.ca/fgm/lab/lab.html
You can even prepare accurate questions and ask them to the team; you also can read other's questions and the replies.
They also show a good _Plateosaurus_ mounted skeleton.
It's a very cool website!
Check some other informations and images about prosauropods, get informations about their ecology, and IMHO you got an interesting subject.
