Welcome to my first Action Project for the class Stories. In this class, we learned the term "etiology" and what it means. Etiology is the story of how something came to be - like mankind, for example. We have been reading a lot of mythological stories on how things came to be. For this Action Project, we were instructed to create our own stories about the etiology of how something came to be. It didn't have to be real. In this Action Project, we can make up our own world. When I made this action project, I put in too many words. I struggled all night taking out words while trying to keep this story good. I did well creating the it though. I am good at setting my imagination free. If I were to re-write this story, I would have focused less on introducing all of the characters. That is probably one of the reasons why I had too many words. Anyways, we all learn from our mistakes. I hope you enjoy! "Ancient Cave Painting of  Man and Chimera Together" Illustra...

I am going to cover most of that in this AP (Action Project). For this Action Project, we had to choose an organism, identify its population, and highlight what makes the population unique. During our first FE (Field Experience), our STEAM teacher had us choose an organism at Lincoln Park Zoo. For this AP, I have chosen the fennec fox, a.k.a Vulpes zerda. You might ask, "What is a fennec fox? I will show you in this AP, along with everything else we studied thus far. The fennec fox is a small mammal that is from the Sahara of North Africa. It, naturally, lives in very hot and sandy climates. That would make sense because, according to the Lincoln Park Zoo website, it is said the fennec...
