What if...?

We have started our Inquiry topic on Endangered New Zealand species now so we did a thinking skills activity today in our Inquiry groups. We scored our ideas on fluency (how many ideas), elaborate (detailed) and original. Then we added our scores together for a total. The highest score today was 10.
What if there was no-one to look after the kiwi?
1. Kiwi eggs would be eaten by stoats.
2. Kiwis will be extinct.
3. Kiwis could walk into the wrong place.
4. Kiwis would have no-one to protect them from predators.
5. Kiwi predators would come and attack them.
6. Kiwis would get eaten.
7. New Zealander might not get called “Kiwis” because there would be none left.
8. They won’t have enough food.
9. They will have no home.
10. They will be hunted.
11. They could be caught in a trap.
12. Dogs could eat them because there would be no fence.
13. Kiwis would be killed by other animals.
14. Kiwis will need some help because they will be dying out.
15. Baby eggs might get stepped on and killed.
16. Kiwis would become critically endangered.
18. We might not have the kiwi as a national emblem.19. Kiwis might get caught and die.
