Classification of Life Poster Activity

Classification of Life “Poster” Activity

For this assignment, you will make a chart detailing the different levels of classification of your organism. At each level, include example organisms that also share that level of classification with your organism. For example, if assigned a bird, at the phylum level, you should include pictures of other chordates (fish, reptiles, mammals, etc.). You will provide these example organisms at each level (similar to the WS from the previous lesson). You will be graded based on accuracy and completeness of the assignment. Below is the evaluation scheme.

Including all 7 levels- 7 points Providing example organisms at each level- 21 points Properly Classifying your organism- 7 points
