A teacher said to his class that he thought the main idea in "The Weevil's Last Stand" Connected 3, 2001was: "Rare plants and animals need to be saved, no matter how small they are." Here are some details from the text that support his thinking.

1. Dr Thinkmore is leading the discussion, and she said: "That's how I see biodiversity: the continuing existence and well-being of all living things, whether they're big or small." (Page 12, paragraph 4).
2. The pygmy button daisy.  It's rare and small. (Page 12, last  paragraph).

a)  Read "The Weevil's Last Stand" and look for more details that support the teacher's thinking about the main idea.

     Give the page number and a brief quote or description of each detail.
