Capstone – pt 2 – Interview

categories: 5th Grade, Capstone

As part of our capstone project, we have to do an interview for our presentation. I am doing the law and the courtroom for my project, and I just so happened to have an older cousin who worked as a defense attorney for criminal cases. I wanted to interview someone I could trust for this, and I found the perfect person! But before I could do the interview, I had to write the questions for it. I spent hours working on the perfect questions, but I didn’t have to. After I finished, I realized that the questions weren’t as hard as I thought, and I shouldn’t have been too hard on myself. So I put my best foot forward, and did my interview.

And I did great! (In my humble opinion) Mike, my interviewee (Public Defense Attorney of Criminal Law) was as excited as I was for the interview. He answered my questions with a lot of thought and detail and I believe I did a pretty good job taking notes, even with the unbearable spelling errors. In this post I thank Mike for the interview and all the good information he gave me.

I hope you all are well.

Immigration Unit

categories: 5th Grade, Social Studies

Another unit has come and gone! In social studies, we have been learning about immigration. We have been doing this for about a month and a half. But to end this unit, we have interviewed someone that has immigrated to America, and do an Adobe Spark presentation about it. Through the weeks, we have gathered information about immigrating, and put it to use in detailed questions to ask our interviewees. After creating the questions, we used our skills from our Journalism unit to correctly conduct an interview. After completing the interview, we used our information and put it into an Adobe spark slideshow. We had to use good pictures, icons, and wording to support our immigrates story in the best way we can, because we have to have a story that is clear, not some random pile of information. Overall, the unit was fun and I had a good time creating the presentation.

Below you will find the video. I hope everyone is well during this crisis.
