Animal Taxonomy? Well... If it fits the KOALAfications

Leopard Gecko

Eublepharis macularius


Hi! The class my project was assigned to is called “Population” and our unit is called “In/Out” In this unit, we found out about the scientific classification of creatures, within creatures, and how life forms are named. I hope it fits the KOALAifacations for you. For this project, I, as well as my fellow students, have to choose an animal and study its Taxonomy and no, they do not do taxes, but the classification of an animal or animals by their Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The animal I precisely chose is the Leopard or Panther Gecko. A leopard gecko is a type of gecko that lives in the rocky, dry grassland and desert regions of south-Asian Afghanistan, Pakistan, north-west India, and some parts of Iran. Their diet is composed of insects, including scorpions, sometimes they will feed on other lizards, so brothers and sisters watch out, you may become dinner.

Comparing animals set theory:

M∪L={ Small, Carnivorous, disguise}  
  • The few things a meerkat and a leopard gecko have in common is that they both are small, are Carnivorous, and
  • have a disguise.
L∪G={have spots, pre-anal tail}
  • The common things a leopard gecko and a generic giraffe have is that they have spots and a pre-anal tail. 
M∪G∩L={ Birth live young, Babies sticking}
  • The things a meerkat and a giraffe have in common but a leopard gecko does not have is that they have fur or hair,
  • they give birth to live young, and their young stay with them until they grow old enough.
L∪G∪M= { they live in the African continent}  
  • The thing all of this set theory has is that they live in the African continent.

  • E.S Set Theory 2019
The Eublepharis reaches its maturity at 18 months and starts populating. They have an incubation period of
52days and lay up to 2 eggs per gestation period. Surprisingly, our little friend can live up to 20 years if he did not
end up as dinner for one of the others. An amusing fact about geckos, believe it or not, all geckos have a voice, ranging from a small squeak to the deafening whistles of the African whistling
gecko; who would have thought. I feel like the collage was the hardest part for me because getting the materials were very hard to get where I'm from.

Changin' Washington Park

For our Civic Term class Music that Matters, We were given a task from a nonprofit organization called My Block, My Hood, My City to find an idea that will improve my neighborhood. Since I live near George Washington Park on 51st and King Drive, I feel like having a 30-foot slave owner hovering over the descendants of slaves needs improvement. We were also added music to boost the feeling of support for our block. We talked with many artists about protest and learned that art can create an opinion.  I think that having this in action will not only affect my neighborhood but spark others to do the same. I think the hardest part was the video

       Welcome to my first action project for Stories. In class we have been discussing creation stories and how they may influence us and how they were made back quite a while in the past. For this activity venture, we had the option to make our very own creation story. For our creation story, we needed to compose the cause of the start of something and how it was made. In class we even had a real storyteller come to our school to converse with us about how she makes her narratives and she helped us incredibly by giving us procedures we could use for our story. When leading my story it was in reality quite simple to begin with an start off where and what my story will begin. Be that as it may, when composing my story it was difficult for me to have ideas starting with one theme then onto the next so my story will run easily.          One day, a billion years ago, there were these creatures that were as tall as skyscrapers and purple like l...

The Dog and the Sheep

In this action project, we were told to learn and make a fable. It was very enticing but very hard. using similes were not in this story. Colton the dog, was walking to his new school with his mom while eating a ham and cheese sandwich. He was skipping like a frog when he tripped on an emerging root from the enormous oak tree, spilling his sandwich on the filthy ground. “Are you ok, pup?” “I'm okay, mama” The tree looked very intimidating as it stood over him like Robert, the tallest giraffe on this planet. After the long astonishment by him and his new classmates, he spotted this meek little sheep who was trembling vigorously in fear. So Colton rushed over to see what was wrong with the quivering lamb. “Are you okay?” Colton questioned. The ball of fluff answered meekly “I-I’m nervous”. “It's ok,’’ Colton said, “We’ll make it through. Together.” “o-okay” squeaked the lamb. “I’m Colton, what’s your name” “I’m Ava.” Suddenly, they were silent when they hear...
