This is an Action Project for my core class Stories. We have been reading and telling stories to find out how to make our origin story the best that it can be. We also had a professional storyteller come into the school and tell us how to tell/write stories. I have created a fictional origin story of the universe and how it was created with the "creators" being Mewtwosaur, Venasaurus, Charizardus, and Blastoisaur. I also made an art piece that represents an important moment in my creation story. I am telling this story in the third person because this is a creation story about the creation of the universe with fictional characters. I want my readers to feel like the creation of the universe was unique and different from all of the other creation stories. CJH.

This is a project from my core STEAM class POPULATION where we have learned about the taxonomy of animals and set theory. Set theory is the mathematical classification of anything. I have been researching this animal for a few weeks and went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and took a photograph of it. I also researched the taxonomy of the animal which is the information that tells you the relatives and knowledge of the animal.      The animal that I chose is the Dwarf Mongoose the scientific name is Helogale parvula. Some cool facts about this animal are that it lives in the grasslands of the Savannah and it is the smallest carnivore on the planet. It also has no major predators and can live for 10-14 years. It is also nocturnal and is a mammal.     Here, I have a photo of a Dwarf Mongoose I created a collage out of magazines and turned it into a GIF that shows each of the taxonomic levels of the taxonomy tree of the Dwarf Mongoose.
