17. QUESTIONS Describe the basis of your arrangement. (What unique characteristic(s) allow(s) your objects to be arranged in their particular manner?) We based our arrangement/ categorization on the themes and genres of the books we categorized. We chose to use genre as our basis of categorization because it is already a widely known and used system in bookstores and libraries. We chose a color-coded table to visually represent this system. Each category is represented by a different color. There are also colors for multi-category combinations. What are the important features of your table? There are multiple important features of our table, one of which is the method by which it visually conveys our methods of categorization and the items (books) categorized therein. As stated in the previous answer, each color represents a distinct category that describes one or more of the items (books). Again, there are also colors for multi-category combos. These the categories the colors represent are listed in a key.

18. QUESTIONS How is the arrangement of objects similar to the Periodic table of elements? Explain. There are multiple ways in which our arrangement of objects is similar to the periodic table of elements. One example is that both arrangements can be divided into different groups. In fact, this property is vital to our table. Another way in which our arrangements are similar is that they both categorize their respective contents according to said contents’ properties. In our case, the properties used were genre and thematic components. In the Periodic table of Elements, the properties used are more having to do with electrons and neutrons and such. How is your arrangement different from the periodic table of elements? Explain. There are quite a few ways in which our arrangement is different from the Periodic Table of Elements. In fact, there are probably more dissimilarities than similarities. In the PT of E, columns and rows and their relative positions and arrangement hold great significance. This is not so in our arrangement. In ours, we rely more on non-linear groupings to convey information.

19. QUESTIONS Mendeleev and other scientists have created a periodic table of elements and predicted characteristics of missing elements. Make a prediction about an object on your table that has not yet been discovered (the object will follow the last known one on your table). You should provide an actual example of the object and you should provide detailed reasoning for why this particular object will fit into your periodic table according to your argument. I predict that when Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is “discovered”, it will easily fill in a “missing” space in our table. This is because it fits at least one, and arguably more, categories on the table. It first of all fits, most obviously, in the Fantasy and Fantasy/ Adventure categories. It would fit into these categories because it is rife with fantastical elements and the protagonist certainly goes on an adventure.
