Why bother saving the bilby?
Students use the views expressed in a letter as a starting point for answering the question posed by the title of the activity. After individually writing a summary of the writer’s arguments and assumptions, students work in groups and then as a class to discuss the issues. Then, in pairs or small groups, they devise a bilby conservation program and prepare a presentation on this for the rest of the class. Some guidance might be needed on the type and complexity of the presentation to be developed, and this will vary with the level of your class.
