Capstone Blog post #3

 I just finished my capstone! It was a lot of hard work. I first wrote my script, that took a while because I needed to come up with a script that was informational but funny at the same time. That was pretty hard because I did not want to make it too funny but not too informational.

 

 After that I had to make my note cards. Making note cards was optional, but I did it because I knew it would help me and I did! On my note cards I just wrote bullet points on what I was going to say. It was really helpful!

 

Lastly we filmed the capstone!  It did not take a long time. It only took one try! What I did was I connected my computer to the tv and sat in front and said my script. I practiced my full video a lot of times before we filmed the video and the practice really paid off! 

 

Capstone was a great experience and I think it will be very helpful in my future! 

 

Make sure you watch my capstone!

I recently conducted my capstone interview. I interviewed Jenna Golden who is spokesperson for Nike. I asked her about 10-15 questions that she was asked to answer. 

 

It was really hard to find someone to interview. It took about 3 weeks to find someone! But once I found someone I was really excited and happy.  After I found her I reached out to her asking to interview her. She told me that she would be happy to get interviewed. So we then scheduled a date and time and I asked her if I could record the interview.

 

The next thing I had to do was to do the interview. I had already came up with some questions a little while ago. The actual interview went really well, she answered all my questions and gave me all the information I needed. 

 

I was really happy with the interview and It helped me alot!

 

Capstone blog post #1

The 5th grade recently started capstone! Capstone is when you pick a topic that you are interested in and then you come up with a question about that topic that you research. You then come up with sub questions that will help you research your main question. For my topic I choose the brand “ Nike”. My main question for Nike was “ how does Nike impact the environment and how do they address it?”. The whole process of picking my question was really hard because there were so many possibilities that I did not know which one to pick! Picking my sub questions was a little easier because  I had my main question already mapped out and so I just had to think about questions that would help me. 

We then got straight to researching and finding resources to use. This took a bit of time because you had to make sure it was the right document. By that I mean you had to read it through one to make sure it was the information you were looking for, you then had to read it again and take close notes on it so that you don’t forget the information  that you just read. 

Capstone has been really fun so far and I am really excited to do more!
