Finally! We are doing Capstone! If you don’t know, Capstone is a project that the 5th grade of Heathcote School gets to do. It’s basically where we get to pick a topic that interests us, and we research and research and get to make a presentation that we can share in front of an audience. So, this is my first blog entry about choosing a topic.
To get started, we had to fill out a Questionnaire packet filled with questions like,”List at least three interests you have”, or,” Is there a historical event you would like to become an expert on”.
Anyways, after filling this thing out, you get handed a schedule with all the due dates for each part of the whole project. After that, you have to make a curriculum wheel with all the questions you have about you topic. This process was really hard because each question had to be about a subtopic like math or science.
Okay, now the moment you’ve all been waiting for, my topic. So don’t laugh at me or anything like that but my topic is…Bigfoot! Yes, I know Bigfoot may not be real, but my teacher was fine with it, and plus, I’ve always been into cryptozoology.
But, I forgot to tell you that you have to think of two topics just in case the one you want to do doesn’t work out. So my 2nd topic is going to be Concussions. I’m kind of narrowing to the Bigfoot topic because I feel like a lot of people have thought once in their life whether Bigfoot is real.
Anyways, I have high expectations for not only myself, but also the Capstone project itself because I’ve been waiting my whole time here at Heathcote just for this moment and hopefully it’s fun. Also, I have high expectations for myself because when I was a kid, I remember always watching interesting documentaries with my mom, mostly about Bigfoot.
So anyways, that was it for this post. Make sure to check my blog every once in a while for another post, and you can also read my other posts on this blog. Thank you for reading! 🙂
