https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k Use the prompts in the "Week 7" Learning Story to write at least two NEW reflective statements about 'Extinction". en-us 2017-04-19 02:15:05 UTC 2025-12-07 17:13:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817515 The most important idea in Extinction seems to be conservation of the environment. I think this because of the way Harry is condemned by Andy for his impacts on the environment through coal mining and the focus on saving animals from extinction.

Hannie Rayson really seems to value the conservation of the Australian environment along with the global issue of climate change. I think this because she voices these concerns with the play "Extinction" through characters and key themes, the result of doing this is a raised awareness around the issues at hand.

I believe Extinction was selected for study at Year 12 because the issues that are raised within the play relate to the current occurrences around the world. Extinction of animals, climate change and the huge impacts on ecological systems caused by mining are all highly relevant to the present global circumstance.]]> 2020-03-12 00:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817515 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817604 I believe Extinction was selected for study in year 12, because Hannie Rayson lets you explore the backgrounds of the characters in you own way as she gives them a little bit of background story. As well as exploring and learning about the Tiger Quoll.    ]]> 2020-03-12 00:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817604 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817605 The most important idea in extinction seems to be the environmental impacts of mining and the tiger quoll extinction. I think this because it is thoroughly embedded throughout the story line of the play. ]]> 2020-03-12 00:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817605 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817612 I like how Hannie Rayson used drama and the relationships between characters to show important environmental issues because it is creative and captures the audience's attention while conveying important ideas. ]]> 2020-03-12 00:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817612 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817631 The most important idea in Extinction seems to be the decline and extinction of animals in Australia. I think this because it is one of the main ideas that each character talks about throughout the text

Hannie Rayson really seems to condemn mining. I think this because of the large scale impacts it has on the environment

The most important idea in Extinction seems to be the Tiger Quoll. This is because she highlights the amount of concern the wildlife people have if they go extinct. ]]> 2020-03-12 00:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817635 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817651 I believe that Extinction was selected for study in Year 12 because it presents a vast array of ideas and characters while also maintaining an indisputably "Australian" feeling. Furthermore, the Year 11 curriculum included Inheritance, which was also written by Rayson.]]> 2020-03-12 00:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817651 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817733 Hannie Rayson seems to condemn blind faith, as characters who put their emphasis towards imagined ideals more than logical ideas are often called out on this and looked down upon by others for it.]]> 2020-03-12 00:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817733 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817780 2020-03-12 00:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817780 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458817823 The most important idea of Extinction seems to be the significance of a tiger quoll being endangered. I see this because at the end of the play Andy and Piper get very excited  when they see that more tiger quolls exist.

Hannie Rayson really seems to value relationships. I think this because at the end of the play when evidence of tiger quolls living was discovered it really bought Andy and Piper together and closer.

Hannie Rayson really seems to condemn the damaging effects larger companies are causing that negatively effect ecosystems, this is illustrated through the passion certain characters have about the topic.

I think this because Piper, Heather, Andy and Harry often come into conflict over their opposing views, and the end of the play shows how things fall apart because of it.]]> 2020-03-12 00:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458818097 https://padlet.com/mannens_liana_j/sgcs9xm6vk0k/wish/458818109

Hannie Rayson really seems to value extinct animals. I think this because the tiger quoll was a really special part of her life in her days (50's)

• 
  I believe Extinction was selected for study at Year 12 because the author has a unique writing style and the play is based on 'Aussie culture'

I think this because there is a major focus on the Preservation of endangered species' as well as the conservation of the environment by protecting it from the coal industry.

-I liked how Hannie Rayson used different character perspectives to explore how different individuals portray conservation of an endangered species.
