Classification is not just what Aristotle did. Classification can be categorized in many different areas, such as kingdoms, species, organization, and bionomial nomenclature. Classification also deals with Carolus Linnaeus. Classification opens up new meaning and understanding to different kinds of things meaning classification doesn’t just means that you classify thing. Its way more to it.
Aristotle was dealing a lot with classification. He was a Greek philosopher in the 4th century B.C. (384-322) who divided organisms in 2 groups. The 2 groups were plants and animals. Aristotle’s system was used into the 1600s. Aristotle’s system was different from other because he also divided them in how they traveled. He divided them by flying, by land, or by water. There are many kingdoms of classification such as Animali, Plantae, Eukayote, and more. With Carolus, he divided plants and animals according to similarities in form.
The kingdoms Animali, Plantae, and Eukayote are not the main kingdoms. They are just random. When I say random I mean that they just are some of many kingdoms. They fall into classification because different animals, species and plants are categorized into groups. Linnaeus was founded in 1735. Hackel was founded in 1860, and chatton was founded in 1925. The difference with Linnaeus, Hackel and chatton is that Linnaeus and Hackel have kingdoms and chatton has groups. The difference between kingdom and groups is that kingdom is a taxonomic category of the highest rank, grouping together all forms of life having certain fundamental characteristics in common. Groups are any collection of things.
Mainly Classification does not have only one meaning. It could mean sorting things or grouping them. In our case, it means the assignment of organisms to groups within a system of categories distinguished by structure. A little of everything deals with classification like Aristotle and Carolus. It also deals with animals and plants. Classification is just one word that leads to another meaning and another.

They will read their stories to a group of 1st and 2nd graders who will then draw pictures for the Just So Stories.
ODE Benchmarks Addressed: WRTP A, WRTP C-E, WRTA A
1. How do the Just So Stories relate to our Classification Capstone? Explain in detail.
Our Just So Stories relate to our Classification Capstone because one, we have animals in our story and animals have different traits and characteristics.This means they are classified
2. What did you like and/or dislike about writing your own Just So Story? Explain in detail?
What I like about writing my own Just So Story is that I can be creative and write about what I want. I don’t dislike writing my own Just So Story because if I don’t write my own Just So Story the I can’t be creative or express myself.
3. What was your experience working with the elementary students? Give a detailed summary of your experience.
My experience working with the elementary kids was fun. Working with them was good I thought because we got too engaged with them read our stories and talk to them about things. They were so interested in what we had to well some of them were. Also, I liked the experience because they look up to us.
4. Would you work with elementary students in the future? Give 3 examples of how we can work with elementary students in all subject areas.
It depends on what schools because at Riverside most of the kids were respectful, but most likely I would work with elementary kids in the future.
EXAMPLES
1. We can ask the kids what subject they like best and work with them in groups.
2. We can play subject games with them.
3. We can let them visit our school.
