TASK
You are to assume the identity of an extinct organism.  The goal is to develop a theory, based on scientific evidence, that explains why you became extinct.  The target audience is the rest of the class.  You need to convince them that your theory is logical.  To do this, you need to find out all that you can about your species' existence by researching the fossil record, biologic and geologic evidence.  Ultimately you will tell the life story of your species from beginning to end.
