animal, vegtable, mineral essay

profileAlyssa Johnson

for this assignment, you will focus on ideas stemming from the taxonomy (biological classification) presented by Carolus von Linnaeus that everything can be classified as animal (alive),vegetable (grows), or mineral (from the ground).
Your assignment is to choose something you eat or wear and trace it back to its roots. You may be able to start with labels on a manufactured product, or if you grew or wove it yourself, the process you went through to get it to the end product.
Write a short essay discussing a narrow aspect of your search process. Were there difficulties finding its roots? What attracts you to this product? Did you find information you really didn't want to know or that will change your buying habits in the future? If you performed part of the production process yourself, discuss what you did, why you produced it yourself, and perhaps what you learned through the production or growing process. These are just some questions and ideas to explore. Remember that you are graded on your unique approach to the topic.
