We have been working on Capstone for a while now and we are almost finished. But before I talk about the final product I’m going to talk about answering my main inquiry question.
After I did research on my five sub questions and conducted my interview, I had to do research on my main inquiry question, What factors have had the most impact on the evolution of Hawaiian hula dancing? Our sub questions would help us answer our main question and get to learn some information on our topic. I started reading my notes and found the three ways that had an impact on the evolution of hula which were the missionaries, tourism, and the blending of different styles. After I found this out I started doing more research about these topics and started learning a lot. After I thought I had enough research I started the next step.
The next step of Capstone after the research was to make an essay about our main inquiry question. I had to make our research of the top ways hula has changed into a summary. We could also add in our essay were quotes from our interviewee. My essay was three pages long. I included some quotes and I also noted some dates. The essay was hard for me because I had trouble writing my research into an essay. After I did my essay it was time for the last step of Capstone.
The last step of Capstone was making the slideshow and presenting. This was when we would take the information from researching and sort of base it on our essay and make it into a script. After making our script and finalizing it, we would start our slideshow. In our slideshow we would add photos that matched our words and if we wanted we could include a video. I made 24 slides for my slideshow. I also included a video of what hula looks like. After we finished our slideshow we had to do our presentation. The time limit for the presentation was 5 minutes. Mine ended up being 4 minutes and 30 seconds. We had to make sure we spoke loud, didn’t fidget, spoke clearly, didn’t stutter, and we had to make sure we memorized it fully.
In conclusion, I am really happy with my presentation so far and I have had a lot of fun with capstone. I hope I do well with my final presentation.
